This Addendum is issued to advise all bidders that the markup percentage for parts and supplies must be entered using decimal format. We are aware that the bid form automatically displays a “$” symbol in that field; however, bidders must still enter the markup as a decimal to ensure accurate and consistent bid calculations.
Examples:
The decimal entered will then be multiplied by the estimated expenditure of 80,000 to determine the extended cost.
Bidders are responsible for ensuring the markup is entered correctly. Incorrect formatting may result in miscalculated bid totals. Please disregard the “$” symbol displayed in the field.
Proposers must complete and submit a Cost Proposal. It is the Proposer’s responsibility to state all costs to provide the services outlined in Section Preliminary Scope of Services. Costs shall include, but not be limited to, direct labor, overhead, fringe benefits, profit, other direct costs (ODC). A Proposer’s failure to submit a Cost Proposal will deem the submittal non-responsive. Include the Cost Proposal with the Electronic Response.
The price will be evaluated in the following manner:
A. The responsive proposal with the lowest price will be given the full weight of points assigned to the pricing criteria.
B. Every other responsive proposal will be given points proportionately in relation to the lowest price. This point total will be calculated by dividing the lowest proposed price by the total proposed price of the proposal being evaluated with the result multiplied by the maximum weight for the price (100 %) to arrive at a price score of less than the full score for price.
Example: Lowest Total Proposed Price Total % Price Proposer’s Total Proposed Price X for Price = Score
Experience. A brief statement of how long Proposer has been performing the services required to complete the Scope of Work. Proposer shall have a minimum of five (5) years of experience providing the services required to complete the Scope of Work.
