Evaluation criteria can be divided into three primary categories:
• Technical criteria: Technical criteria include the vendor’s understanding of the procurement; the vendor’s management plan; the quality of the proposed design for certain goods; the experience and qualifications of key personnel; and vendor resources.
• Management criteria: Management criteria include the vendor’s experience on similar projects; the vendor’s performance on similar projects; the vendor’s available facilities and resources for the project; and the vendor’s plan for management and control of the project.
• Cost criteria: For the procurement of goods and nonprofessional services only, cost criteria include the vendor’s proposed price (for fixed-price contracts); the realistic expected cost of performance, plus any proposed fixed fee (for cost-reimbursement contracts); and other costs, such as that of ownership, including transportation costs, and life-cycle costs (installation, operation, maintenance, security and disposal).
Evaluation Criteria to be Included in a Request for Proposals
The evaluation criteria that should be included in an RFP are listed below. The criteria at the top of the list are relatively more important than those at the bottom of the list.
• Plan for performing services: When services are being procured, the vendor’s plan for performing the required services.
• Qualifications of the vendor: The qualifications and experience of the vendor and, in particular, the project team members, including the consultants, proposed to be assigned to the project.
• Experience with similar projects: A record of recent past performance of similar projects of similar scope.
• Past performance: The past record of performance on contracts with government agencies or private industry with respect to such factors as control of costs, quality of the work, and the ability to meet schedules.
• Availability of the vendor: The personnel, equipment, and facilities to perform the services currently available or demonstrated to be made available at the time of contracting. This criterion should include considering the current and projected workloads of the vendor that would affect its ability to perform the required work on schedule, and the availability of key personnel to be assigned to the project.
• Reputation: The vendor’s reputation for personal and professional integrity and competency.
• Familiarity with the County: The familiarity of the vendor with the County and, if services are being procured, familiarity with the problem to be addressed by the procurement as it exists in the County.
