Each vendor is responsible for submitting all relevant, factual and correct information with their offer to enable the evaluator(s) to afford each vendor the maximum score based on the available data submitted by the Vendor.

1. A bidder shall submit one (1) response to a solicitation and shall not propose more than one (1) price for each item listed in the solicitation, except for requested tier pricing. Multiple or alternate bids offering more than one (1) bid price in total or by line item shall be rejected.

Vendors responding with the minimum Best Value requirements in this solicitation shall not be credited with Best Value points. Vendors responding with greater than the minimum requirements shall receive Best Value points. Failure to provide adequate information will impact the evaluated points awarded to the vendor.

A. PRICE (80 Points)

The bidder with the lowest Price receives the maximum score. The bidder with the next lowest Price receives points by dividing the lowest Price by the next lowest price and multiplying that percentage by the available points. For example, 90 points is allocated to the lowest Price criteria for this procurement, bidder "A" bids $3.00 as the lowest bidder and receives the maximum 90 points ($3.00 / $3.00 = 1.00 x 90 = 90). Assume bidder "B" is the next lowest bidder at $4.00, then "B" receives 67.5 points ($3.00 / $4.00) = .75 x 90 = 67.5).

B. DELIVERY (10 Points)

Bidders will be evaluated on the submission and completion of the requested delivery details provided in the scope of work.

C. WARRANTY (10 Points)

The vendor proposing the longest and most inclusive warranty shall receive maximum points. Other vendors shall receive points relative to the highest evaluated warranty.

Best Value scoring is subject to Reciprocal preference for Kentucky resident bidders (KAR 200 5:410).
