A. SCOPE

It is the intent of these specifications, terms, and conditions to describe services for

East Bay Municipal Utility District (District) intends to create a list of pre-qualified

vendors who can provide scaffolding services. The pre-qualification list will be valid for a

period of three (3) years with two (2) options to renew for one-year terms to the

Proposer(s) who best meets the District’s requirements.

B. PROPOSER QUALIFICATIONS

III. DISTRICT PROCEDURES, TERMS, AND CONDITIONS

A. RFP ACCEPTANCE AND AWARD

1. RFP responses will be evaluated by the Selection Committee and will be scored

and ranked in accordance with the RFP section entitled “Evaluation

Criteria/Selection Committee.”

2. The Selection Committee will recommend award to the Proposer who, in its

opinion, has submitted the RFP response that best serves the overall interests of

the District. Award may not necessarily be made to the Proposer with the lowest

overall cost.

3. The District reserves the right to award to a single or to multiple General or

Professional Service Providers, dependent upon what is in the best interest of the

District.

4. The District has the right to decline to award this contract or any part of it for any

reason.

the Proposer’s submission, in relation to this RFP, may be incorporated into any

purchase order or contract that may be awarded as a result of this RFP.

6. Award of contract. The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals, to

accept one part of a proposal and reject the other, unless the proposer stipulates

B. EVALUATION CRITERIA/SELECTION COMMITTEE

All proposals will be evaluated by a Selection Committee. The Selection Committee may

be composed of District staff and other parties that have expertise or experience in this

type of procurement. The Selection Committee will select a Proposer in accordance with

the evaluation criteria set forth in this RFP. The evaluation of the RFP responses shall be

within the sole judgment and discretion of the Selection Committee.

The Selection Committee will evaluate each RFP response meeting the qualification

requirements set forth in this RFP. Proposer should bear in mind that any RFP response

that is unrealistic in terms of the technical or schedule commitments, or unrealistically

high or low in cost, will be deemed reflective of an inherent lack of technical

competence or indicative of a failure to comprehend the complexity and risk of the

District’s requirements as set forth in this RFP.

RFP responses will be evaluated and scored according to the Evaluation Criteria below

and scored according to a zero to five-point scale. The scores for all Evaluation Criteria

will then be added to arrive at a weighted score for each RFP response. An RFP response

with a high weighted total will be ranked higher than one with a lesser-weighted total.

The Evaluation Criteria are as follows:

Evaluation Criteria

A. Cost:

The points for Cost will be computed by dividing the amount of the lowest responsive

RFP response received by each Proposer’s total proposed cost.

While not reflected in the Cost evaluation points, an evaluation may also be made of:

1. Reasonableness (i.e., does the proposed pricing accurately reflect the Proposer’s

effort to meet requirements and objectives?);

2. Realism (i.e., is the proposed cost appropriate to the nature of the products and

services to be provided?); and

3. Affordability (i.e., the ability of the District to finance this project).

4. Consideration of price in terms of overall affordability may be controlling in

circumstances where two or more RFP responses are otherwise judged to be equal,

or when a superior RFP response is at a price that the District cannot afford.

B. Relevant Experience:

RFP responses will be evaluated against the RFP specifications and the questions below:

1. Do the individuals assigned to the project have experience on similar projects?

2. Are résumés complete and do they demonstrate backgrounds that would be

desirable for individuals engaged in the work the project requires?

3. How extensive is the applicable education and experience of the personnel

designated to work on the project?
