Evaluation Criteria

Proposals will be evaluated using a Best Value Tradeoff approach based on four factors: Technical Approach (most important), Past Performance, Price, and Representations and Certifications. Technical Approach is weighted more heavily than Past Performance, and both combined are more important than Price. Offerors must carefully address staffing and vehicle capabilities in their technical proposals, as failure to answer mandatory questions will result in an "Unacceptable" rating for Factor 1. Past performance references must be recent (within 3 years) and relevant to student transportation services.
