scope of work and deliverables and be submitted as the “Technical Proposal”. Failure to
sufficiently address each item may result in ODH’s determination that the Proposal does not
provide sufficient detail to adequately evaluate the Proposal and is, therefore, incomplete, and
nonresponsive. If the Proposal contains elements that exceed the requirements of the RFP, the
Proposal should state the degree to which the requirement will be exceeded and how this will
be accomplished. Proposals should be prepared simply and economically, providing a
straightforward, concise, and complete description of the Contractor's proposal and

“Technical Proposal” and “Cost Proposal” as part of its total Proposal before the opening time
on the Proposal due date as listed in Ohio Buys. These are two separate components which
shall be submitted as separate electronic documents, clearly identified as either “Technical
Proposal” or “Cost Proposal” and the RFP number.
2.5 Proposals are a Public Record. Once proposals have been reviewed, they will be forwarded to
the ODH Project Evaluation Committee to begin the evaluation process. After proposals are
opened, they are public records as defined in Ohio Revised Code Section 149.43 and are subject
to all laws appurtenant thereto. Contractor may request that certain information, such as trade

2.13.2. Proposals do not address all the requirements of the RFP.
2.13.3. The price is excessive in comparison with market conditions or with the available funds
of the Agency.
2.13.4. ODH determines that awarding any item is not in the best interest of the Agency.

omission in this RFP, the Contractor should request clarification from ODH Office of Procurement
Services. Such clarification may be made only through email. No other form of clarification is

responsive.

ODH Proposal Terms and Conditions Rev. 1.2025
Page 3 of 10
2.16. ODH Modifications to the RFP. When it is necessary to modify an RFP prior to the RFP opening,
ODH does so by written addendum only. Revisions to an RFP, after the RFP opening, shall be
distributed to only those Contractors that submitted a proposal. A Contractor may elect to
withdraw the proposal, provided that the Contractor files a written request within ten (10)
calendar days of DOH’s distribution of the addendum.
2.17. Unit Costs. Contractors shall not insert a unit cost of more than two (2) digits to the right of the
decimal point. Digits beyond the two (2) will be dropped and not used in the evaluation of the
proposal.
2.18. Responsive Contractor. A Contractor is responsive if its proposal responds to the RFP completely
and contains no irregularities or deviations from the RFP that would affect the proposal or
otherwise give the Contractor an unfair advantage.
2.19. Responsible Contractor. ODH will determine if a Contractor is responsible using the following
factors:
2.19.1. Experience of the Contractor.
2.19.2. Contractor's financial condition.
2.19.3. Contractor's conduct and performance on previous Agreement.
2.19.4. Contractor's facilities.
2.19.5. Contractor's management skills.
2.19.6. Contractor's ability to execute the Agreement properly.
2.19.7. Review of Federal and State debarment lists.
2.20. Information Requested. ODH may request additional information to evaluate a Contractor's
responsiveness to the RFP or to evaluate a contractor’s responsibility. If a Contractor does not
provide the requested information, it may adversely impact ODH evaluation of the Contractor's
responsiveness or responsibility.
2.21. Samples. ODH may require Contractors to provide samples or examples of work, at the
Contractor's expense. Samples must be clearly identified by the Contractor, the RFP number,
and the item the sample represents. ODH will return samples that are not destroyed in testing,
at the Contractor's expense, upon the Contractor's timely request. ODH may keep the samples
of the Contractor awarded the Agreement until the completion of the Agreement.
2.22. Estimated Usage. Unless otherwise stated, the usage indicated for each item(s), if applicable,
are to be considered as estimates only and should be considered as information relative to
potential purchases that may be made from the Agreement. ODH makes no representation or
guarantee as to the actual amount of the items(s) to be purchased.
2.23. Technical Proposal Evaluation. Proposals submitted by Contractors that do not meet the
minimum requirements will not be evaluated. Proposals determined by ODH to lack
completeness, specificity or clarity of content may be deemed nonresponsive and, therefore,
will not be evaluated. The remaining proposals will be evaluated, scored, and ranked by a
committee of selected staff. Proposals will be evaluated by the technical review criteria.
ODH Proposal Terms and Conditions Rev. 1.2025
Page 4 of 10
The evaluation committee will assign a numerical rating to each technical competency in the
above section 7 table of the RFP based upon a review of that Contractor’s Proposal. The ratings
are to be awarded as follows:
0 Points
1 Point
2 Points
3 Points
4 Points
5 Points
Does Not Meet
Weak
Moderate
Meets
Strong
Greatly Exceeds
Proposal does not comply with the requirements.
Response does not substantially meet the requirements.
Proposal meets most of the requirements but is weak in
some areas.
Proposal meets all requirements.
Proposal substantially exceeds requirements.
Proposal significantly exceeds requirements.
The value assigned to each criterion is only a value used to determine which Proposal is the
most advantageous to the Agency in relation to the other Proposals that ODH received.
The evaluation committee will evaluate each proposal and award up to the maximum amount
specified for each criterion. A proposal must receive a total technical score of at least 300 points
(60 percent of the maximum total technical score of 500) for ODH to consider awarding an
Agreement for that proposal.
2.24. Presentations and Interviews. ODH may require top Contractors to be interviewed. Such
interviews will provide a Contractor with an opportunity to present its Proposal and to ensure a
mutual understanding of the Proposal’s content. This will also allow ODH an opportunity to test
or probe the professionalism, qualifications, skills, and work knowledge of the proposed
candidates. The interviews will be scheduled at the convenience and discretion of ODH. ODH
may record any presentations and interviews. The one (1) to three (3) highest scoring
Contractors; but no more than the top three (3) may be required to participate. Interviews will
be scheduled to be held in Columbus, Ohio at the Contractor’s expense, if applicable.
2.25. Cost Proposal Evaluation. ODH will calculate the Contractor’s Cost Proposal points after the
Contractor’s total technical points are determined, using the following method:
Cost Points = (Lowest Contractor’s Cost/Contractor’s cost) x Maximum Allowable Cost Points as
indicated in the “Scoring Breakdown” table. In this method, the lowest cost proposed will
receive the maximum allowable points.
The number of points assigned to the cost evaluation will be prorated, with the lowest accepted
Cost Proposal given the maximum number of points possible for this criterion. Other acceptable
Cost Proposals will be scored as the ratio of the lowest Cost Proposal to the Proposal being
scored, multiplied by the maximum number of points possible for this criterion.
2.26. Final Stages of Evaluation Contractor with the highest point total from all phases of the
evaluation (Technical Points + Cost Points) will be recommended for the next phase of the
evaluation.
Technical Score:
+ Cost Score:
+ MBE Score_________
