2 AAC 12.260 - Evaluation of proposals
(a) The procurement
officer, or a procurement evaluation committee consisting of at least three
state employees or public officials, shall evaluate proposals. The procurement
officer may be one of the members on a procurement evaluation
committee.
(b) The evaluation must
be based only on the evaluation factors set out in the request for proposals.
The relative importance or weighting value of each evaluation factor shall be
set out in the request for proposals. Numerical rating systems may be used, but
are not required. If a numerical rating system is not used, the procurement
officer, or each member of the evaluation committee, as applicable, shall
explain his or her ranking determination in writing.
(c) Price must be an evaluation factor unless
the services or supplies sought are selected in accordance with
AS
36.30.270(a) and (b). The
proposal with the lowest price must receive the highest available rating
allocated to price. A proposal that has a higher price than the next lowest
must receive a lower rating for price.
(d) For the purposes of evaluating price, the
proposed price of an offer or who qualifies as an Alaska bidder under
AS
36.30.990(2) shall be
reduced by five percent. All other applicable preferences must be applied. This
subsection does not apply to solicitations or contracts for lease space under
AS
36.30.080.
(e) If a numerical rating system is used, an
Alaska offeror's preference of at least 10 percent of the total possible value
of the rating system must be assigned to a proposal of an offeror who qualifies
as an Alaska bidder under
AS
36.30.990(2). This
subsection does not apply to solicitations or contracts for lease space under
AS
36.30.080.
(f) The following are some additional
evaluation factors that may be considered:
(1)
the offeror's experience in Alaska performing work similar to that sought in
the request for proposals;
(2) the
percentage of work that will be performed in Alaska;
(3) the location of the office of the offeror
where the work will be performed;
(4) the offeror's past performance, including
conformance to specifications and standards of good workmanship, forecasting
and containment of costs or prices, history of reasonable and cooperative
behavior and overall concern for the interests of the customer, and adherence
to contract schedules.
(g) A proposal from an offeror debarred or
suspended under
AS
36.30.635-36.30.655 must be
rejected.
(h) Meetings may be held
by a procurement evaluation committee to discuss the request for proposals, the
evaluation process, the weighting of evaluation factors, and proposals
received.
(i) If the evaluation is
performed by a procurement evaluation committee, each member shall exercise
independent judgment and the vote of one member may not be weighted more than
the vote of any other member.
(j)
An evaluation may not be based on discrimination due to the race, religion,
color, national origin, sex, age, marital status, pregnancy, parenthood,
disability, or political affiliation of the offeror. A proposal shall be
evaluated to determine whether the offeror responds to the provisions,
including goals and financial incentives, established in the request for
proposals in order to eliminate and prevent discrimination in state contracting
because of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age, marital status,
pregnancy, parenthood, disability, or political affiliation of the
offeror.
