The evaluation committee, for this RFP, will tally the final scores for criteria other than cost to arrive at a consensus score by the following method: an average of the individual scores.
Final Stage: Cost Proposal Evaluation
Offerors successful in the technical evaluation will advance to the Final State: Cost Proposal Evaluation. The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive the maximum points of 200. Points assigned to each Offeror’s cost proposal will be based on the lowest proposal price.
The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive 200 or 100% of the total cost points.
