WCPSS shall not be required to award the contract to the lowest proposed compensation; nor shall WCPSS have
any obligation to explain its decision to recommend or not to recommend any particular vendor or to invite or
exclude any particular vendor from consideration at any stage of the process. Instead of recommending that

the proposals and repeat the process, enter into direct contract negotiations with one or more vendors (possibly
including vendors who have not previously submitted proposals) or take any other action WCPSS deems advisable
under all the circumstances.
WCPSS is expected to make any final selection(s) based upon any factors or considerations WCPSS deems
relevant. Factors often considered include qualifications, relevant experience, fee, and ability to perform work in
a timely manner. WCPSS retains sole discretion to award the contract to the vendor(s) it believes will best serve
the interests of WCPSS and may consider any factors, documents, or information it deems relevant in making that
determination. WCPSS shall not have any obligation to explain its decision to select or not select any individual
vendors or to invite or exclude any individual vendors from consideration at any stage of the process. The
decision of WCPSS to accept or reject any proposals and to award contract(s) to any one or more vendor(s) shall
be final and not subject to further review.
Vendors are subject to immediate disqualification at any stage of the selection process for any of the following:
The submission of false or misleading information in the vendor's proposal.
Any efforts to dissuade or discourage other vendors from submitting proposals.
Any efforts to influence, dictate, or change the terms of another vendor's proposal.
Any form of bid collusion or bid rigging.
METHOD OF AWARD
All qualified proposals will be evaluated, and awards will be made to the Vendor(s) meeting the RFP requirements
and achieving the highest and best final evaluation which is best for WCPSS. Vendors SHALL not be considered
who are not approved or authorized by The State of North Carolina to do business with The State of North
Carolina. WCPSS reserves the right to waive any minor informality or technicality in proposals received.
TERM OF CONTRACT
Vendor(s) awarded a contract as a result of this RFP will be for an initial duration of ten (10) months, beginning in
