The Proposal Process The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, hereinafter to be referred to as the ‘University’ or ‘UNC Charlotte’, invites vendors, hereafter referred to as ‘Contractor’ or ‘Offeror’, to submit responses to this Request for Proposals (RFP) in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications that are included herein.

The following is a general description of the process by which a firm will be selected to provide this service.

1. Request for Proposals (RFP) is issued.

2. A pre-proposal conference and/or deadline for written questions is set.

3. Proposal Submissions -- one (1) original and one (1) electronic version on a flash drive or CD, along with any required samples -- will be received from each offeror in a sealed envelope or package. The proposal shall be signed and dated by an official authorized to bind the firm. Unsigned proposals will not be considered. Faxed or emailed proposals will not be considered.

4. All proposals must be received by the issuing agency not later than the date and time specified on the cover sheet of this RFP.

5. At that date and time the package containing the proposals from each responding firm will be opened publicly and the name of the offeror will be announced. Interested parties are cautioned that the proposals and their components are subject to further evaluation for completeness and will not be made public until after award of contract.

6. At their option, the evaluators may request oral presentations or discussion with any or all offerors for the purpose of clarification or to amplify the materials presented in any part of the proposal. Contractors are cautioned that the University is not obligated to ask for, nor accept, after the closing date for receipt of proposals, data which is essential for a complete and thorough evaluation of the proposal. The University may award a contract based on initial offers received without the discussion of such offers. Accordingly, each initial proposal should be submitted on the most favorable and complete pricing and technical terms possible.

7. Proposals will be evaluated according to completeness, content, and experience with similar projects, ability of the offeror and its staff, and cost. Award of a contract to one offeror does not mean that the other proposals lacked merit, but that, all factors considered, the selected proposal was deemed most advantageous to the University.

8. Offerors are cautioned that this is a request for offers, not a request to contract, and this solicitation does not commit The University of North Carolina at Charlotte or the State of North Carolina to award a contract, to pay any costs incurred in the preparation of a proposal, or to procure or contract for the articles of goods or services. The University reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals received as a result of this request and to cancel in part or in its entirety this request for proposals, if it is in the best interest of the University to do so.

OFFERORS NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PROVISION SHALL BE DISQUALIFIED FROM CONTRACT AWARD, UNLESS IT IS DETERMINED THAT THE BEST INTEREST OF THE STATE WOULD NOT BE SERVED BY THE DISQUALIFICATION. AN OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL MAY BE DISQUALIFIED IF ITS SUBCONTRACTORS OR SUPPLIERS ENGAGE IN ANY OF THE FOREGOING COMMUNICATIONS DURING THE TIME THAT THE PROCUREMENT IS ACTIVE (I.E., THE ISSUANCE DATE OF THE PROCUREMENT TO THE DATE OF CONTRACT AWARD). ONLY THE DISCUSSIONS, COMMUNICATIONS OR TRANSMITTALS OF INFORMATION AUTHORIZED IN THIS RFP OR GENERAL INQUIRIES TO THE PURCHASING AGENT REGARDING THE STATUS OF THE CONTRACT AWARD ARE EXEMPT FROM THIS PROVISION.

8) EVALUATION CRITERIA UNC Charlotte has established a committee which will evaluate all submissions and supporting documentation provided. Evaluation of each proposal relative to the others shall be given due consideration according to the following selection criteria below.

At the University’s option, the evaluators may request oral presentations or discussion with any or all Offerors for the purpose of clarification or to define the materials presented in any part of the proposal. The University may award a contract based on initial offers received without the discussion of such offers. Accordingly, each initial proposal should be submitted on the most favorable and complete pricing and technical terms possible.

Proposals received will be evaluated under the provisions of a ‘Best Value’ procurement. Best Value procurement means the selection of a contractor is based on a determination of which proposal offers the best trade-off between price and performance, where quality is considered an integral performance factor. The award decision will be made based on multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall cost and the probability of performing the stated requirements on time with high quality results. Therefore, the lowest price offered does not guarantee an award.

Proposals will be evaluated according to completeness, content, and experience with similar projects, ability of the Offeror and its staff, and cost. Award of a contract to one Offeror does not mean that the other proposals lacked merit, but that, all factors considered, the selected proposal was deemed to provide the best value to The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Evaluation of each proposal relative to the others shall be given due consideration to:

1. Executive Summary/Experience/References/Background 20%

2. Project Organization and Services 25%

3. Customer and Market Share Information 25%

4. Fees 30%
