An evaluation committee, or a designated individual, will evaluate the information provided by the vendor in response to the established measurable criteria contained in the solicitation.
Measurable Criteria: PriceAdditional Financial ConsiderationTOTAL POINTS 90 Points10 Points
100 Points
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.

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.
Price (90 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 71.3 points ($3.00 / $4.00) = .75 x 90 = 71.25).
