4 Evaluation and Scoring
Interested individuals or firms shall provide a written proposal that will include a description of the firm as well as a
short biography of all personnel that will have direct involvement on the account and the approach the firm will take
to address the Scope of Services. Once proposals are reviewed, firms will be scored according to the scoring rubric
provided below.
All documents that the firm prepares as a part of this service agreement will be the property of LRCVB and subject
to all open disclosure laws including the Arkansas Freedom of Information ACT (FOIA).
Experience and Qualifications (35%)
The Proposals will show recent, relevant experience of the firm, with relation to the work in the Scope of Services
and on similar contracts. Responder should give specifics to prove successful performance of those services and
the firm's understanding of the requirements. List individuals that will be used on the engagement. This includes
use of sub-contractors, as well, if applicable.
Approach & Process (40%)
Outline the approach that Responder will take with regards to how the Scope of Services will be attained, including
items such as planning, strategizing, and overall implementation will take place. Sample reports, sample graphs,
and other visual documentation, if applicable within the Scope of Services, should be included.
References (25%)
List of three (3) current or recent references of similar work, within the last three (3) years should be included.
Include the name, telephone number, and address of a contact person who may be contacted for verification of all
data submitted. Include service dates as well as a brief summary of the services provided and results achieved.
LRCVB may elect to conduct interviews for all firms scoring over 80% in their evaluation score. If interviews are
conducted, each committee member will rank the interviewees based on their presentations. Previous scoring from
the submitted proposals will not factor into the interview scores. The Responder scoring the highest on the
interviews will be presented to the Little Rock Advertising and Promotion Commission as the selected Responder for
approval.
Once a Responder is selected, LRCVB will meet with the successful Responder to determine the specifics of the
engagement including scope of services, billing rates, budget, etc, and will execute an agreement engaging the
successful Responder. If an agreement cannot be reached with the highest-ranking firm, the Commission will
undergo negotiations with the next highest-ranking firm until an agreement can be reached.
