• Divided by Technical Proposal Average Score (TPA)• Result = Adjusted Bid

(A) + (B x $200,000) divided by TPA = Adjusted bid • Contract awarded to lowest adjusted bid

Technical proposal scoring

• Scores fall within these categories and ranges Excellent – 100 - 91 percent Very good – 90 - 76 percent Good – 75 – 61 percent Fair – 60 - 50 percent
