20119.4
. Selection of the best value contractor shall be made as
follows:
(a) (1) The school district shall evaluate the qualifications of
the bidders based solely upon the criteria set forth in the
solicitation documents, and shall assign a qualification score to
each bid.
(2) Qualification scores shall be determined by using only the
criteria and selection procedures specifically identified in the
request for proposals. The following minimum factors, however, shall
be weighted as deemed appropriate by the school district:
(A) Relevant experience.
(B) Safety record.
(C) Other factors identified in the request for proposal.
(b) To determine the best value contractor, the school district
shall divide each bidder's price by its qualifications score. A
preference of up to 5 percent shall be applied to the price of a bid
submitted by a small business, as defined by the school district,
before dividing the bidder's price by its qualification score. The
lowest resulting cost per quality point will represent the best value
bid. The award of the contract shall be made to the bidder whose bid
is determined, by the school district in writing, to be the best
value to the school district.
(c) The school district shall issue a written decision of its
contract award or else reject all bids.
(d) Upon issuance of a contract award, the school district shall
publicly announce its award identifying the project, the project
price, the best value contractor to which the award is made, as well
as the prices, qualification scores, and resulting costs per
qualification point for all responsive bidders. The contract file
shall include documentation sufficient to support the decision to
award.
