BEST VALUE PROCUREMENT CRITERIA:

A.     BEST VALUE PROCUREMENT PROCESS:  The Best Value Procurement Process is a procurement method that considers price and performance criteria as allowed under Minnesota Statute 16.C.02, subd. 4(a).  The selection of the bidder for this project will be based on price and the criteria listed in the table set forth below.  A “Total Weighted Score” (TWS) will be determined by scoring for these criteria using the following table and scoring-scale. The contractor’s bid prices ($BP), with and without alternates, will then be divided by the Total Weighted Score ($BP/TWS) giving the Best Value Prices ($BVP).  The Best Value Prices will be used to identify the apparent “Best Value Bid” for the alternates selected by the Owner. Project reference documentation pertaining to the Scoring Criteria shall be submitted at least 7 calendar days before the bid.  Total weighted score for each contractor will be available at the bid opening prior to opening of bids.

 

Each portion of the technical score shall be evaluated on the basis of this scale:

Excellent = 1.0-0.95 (Best in industry)

Good = 0.95-0.85 (Efficient and effective)

Acceptable = 0.85-0.80 (Adequate)

Poor = Less than 0.80 (Less than adequate)
