Lowest price ÷ proponents price x weighting = proponent’s pricing points.
Basis of Selection
SACC Manual Clause (A0027T) (2012-07-16), Basis of Selection - Highest Combined Rating of Technical Merit and Price
To be declared responsive, a bid must:
Comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation
Obtain the required minimum of points per category for the technical evaluation criteria which are subject to point rating.
Bids not meeting (a) or (b) will be declared non-responsive.
The selection will be based on the highest responsive combined rating of technical merit and price. The ratio will be 20 % for the technical merit and 80 % for the price.
To establish the technical merit score, the overall technical score for each responsive bid will be determined as follows: total number of points obtained / maximum number of points available multiplied by the ratio of 20 %.
To establish the pricing score, each responsive bid will be prorated against the lowest evaluated price and the ratio of 80 %.
For each responsive bid, the technical merit score and the pricing score will
be added to determine its combined rating.
Neither the responsive bid obtaining the highest technical score nor the one
with the lowest evaluated price will necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the highest combined rating of technical merit and price will be recommended for award of a contract.
