EVALUATION COMMITTEE INSTRUCTIONS
This is the RFP meeting of the evaluation committee for RFP # 1-2020. At this meeting, I shall distribute the original solicitation, the
Offeror’s proposals, team member briefings and reference questions. After review and individual evaluation scoring of each proposal,
we will discuss questions and/or comments.
The evaluation committee will come to a consensus regarding which proposal(s) is the most advantageous to Doral Academy of
Nevada.
After reading the solicitation, please thoroughly review each proposal - “Scope of Work” and “Special Instructions to Offerors” for the
information requested by Doral Academy of Nevada. All comments should address the Offeror’s response to our specific requirements
of the solicitation.
Worksheets containing your comments and ranking will become a part of the file which is a public record. Each committee member
shall individually write their comments, both negative and positive on the forms provided. If possible, make all comments brief and to
the point. List any questions and comments you may have regarding any area of the proposal that may need clarification. Also list
any area of concern or areas that you feel need to be enhanced, discussed or negotiated.
If the committee feels that it is necessary, discussions with the Offeror(s) shall be held. The committee shall decide if the discussion
will be by telephone, by letter, or in person with the Offeror(s).
If discussions are held with an Offeror(s), the ranking and comments will become a “preliminary evaluation”. Responses to the
discussions with Offeror(s) will be forwarded to the committee members. The committee will discuss any changes in preliminary
comments/ranking due to Offeror(s) responses to the discussion letter(s).
If discussions are held or upon committee recommendations, the final step in the evaluation process shall be to request a Best and
Final Offer (BAFO). When the BAFO is received, if there are any changes, the BAFO will be distributed to the committee for
comment. If there are no further comments from the committee, award will be made.
To maintain consistency on the “Proposal Evaluation Scoring Summary” when making comments, PLEASE USE THE FOLLOWING
RATINGS: “non-responsive”(i.e. we asked them to provide some specific information and they did not provide it), “inadequate
response, adequate response or exceptional response.”
The committee must be able to defend its choice. We evaluate on qualitative and quantitative factors. We cannot be arbitrary and
capricious. We need to be consistent and fair.
