Technical and Price Evaluation

(a) Proposals receiving a score of (80) points or more will be considered for award.

(b) Price proposals will only be evaluated from those bidders that the State considers for award in accordance with subsection (a). Evaluation of price proposals includes consideration of a qualified disabled veteran preference. MCL 18.1261 establishes a preference of up to 10% for businesses owned by qualified disabled veterans that are considered for award in accordance with subsection (a).

Award Recommendation

The award recommendation will be made for the bidder that: (a) is considered for award in accordance with Section Technical and Price Evaluation; (b) has its price proposal evaluated under Section Technical and Price Evaluation; and (c) in the State's determination, offers the best value to the State.

Protests

If a bidder wishes to protest the award recommendation, the bidder must submit a written protest by 5:00pm Eastern Time on the date stated on the notice of recommendation to award. The bidder must include the RFP number and clearly state the facts believed to constitute error in the award recommendation along with the desired remedy. More information about the bidder protest process is available at buymichiganfirst; click on the "Vendor Information" link.

State Administrative Board

State Administrative Board (SAB) approval is required for all Contracts or Purchase Orders of $250,000.00 or more. The decision of the SAB is final; however, SAB approval does not constitute a Contract. The award process is complete when the bidder receives a properly executed Contract or Purchase Order from DMVA, Purchasing & Contracts.

Taxes

The State may refuse to award a contract to any bidder that has failed to pay any applicable State taxes or has any outstanding debt with the State.

False Information

If it is determined that a bidder purposely or willfully submitted false information, the bidder may not be considered for award, the State may pursue debarment of the bidder, and any resulting contract may be terminated.

Past Performance

The State may evaluate the bidder's prior performance with the State in making its award decision.

Financial Stability

The State may evaluate the bidder's financial stability in making its award decision. The State may seek financial information from the bidder and from third parties.

Environmental Impact

The State may evaluate the environmental impact of the bidder's proposal, such as energy efficiency of products or other environmental certifications, in making its award decision.

Clarifications and Deficiencies

(a) The State may issue a clarification request, in writing, to one or all bidders. A clarification request does not allow a bidder to change its proposal.

(b) The State may issue a Deficiency Report and Clarification Request (DR/CR) to each bidder determined to be in the competitive range. Each bidder must respond in writing to the DR/CR by the deadline established by DMVA, Purchasing & Contracts. The DR/CR response may include any changes to the bidder's proposal to address the listed deficiencies or clarifications, including alterations to the bidder's price proposal to address correction of the deficiencies.

Negotiations

The State may enter into negotiations with bidders on price or technical clarifications.

Best and Final Offer

The State may request a Best and Final Offer (BAFO) from each bidder determined to be in the competitive range. Each bidder must respond in writing with its BAFO by the deadline established by DMVA, Purchasing & Contracts. A BAFO request may be issued simultaneously with a DR/CR under Clarifications and Deficiencies.

There is no guarantee that any bidder will be allowed an opportunity to engage in negotiations under section Negotiations, or to submit a BAFO under this Section.
