The State of Utah is issuing this RFP with the goal of adding qualified contractors to the Irrigation and Sprinkler Systems Portfolio.

1. Any vendor that achieves a combined total score of at least 60% of all available points will be eligible for a statewide cooperative contract.
2. There are 700 technical points and 300 cost points available for evaluation for each category awarded.
3. vendors must attain a minimum of 60% in technical criteria points, which is equivalent to 420 points, to advance to the Cost Evaluation stage.
4. In the Cost Evaluation stage, the points assigned to each vendor's cost proposal will be determined based on the lowest market basket price.
5. The vendor with the lowest market basket price will receive 100% of the price points.
6. All other vendors will receive a portion of the total cost points, calculated based on the percentage by which their proposed market basket price is higher than the lowest proposed market basket price.
7. The formula for computing the points is: Cost Points x (Lowest Market Basket/Proposed Market Basket).
