The Respondent with the lowest responsive Price Proposal in each region (Regions 1, 2, 3 and 4) <br /> shall receive the maximum 600 points. All other qualified Respondents' final Price Proposals in each <br /> region that are deemed responsive by the Department shall receive a prorated amount of the <br /> maximum 600 points. Remaining Respondents' points shall be calculated by determining the <br /> percentage difference between the lowest Respondent's Price Proposal and the remaining <br /> Respondents' Price Proposals. The percentage difference shall be deducted from 100% and <br /> multiplied by 600 to determine the number of points that each remaining Respondent shall receive. <br /> Price Proposal Scoring Example for Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4 <br /> Assumptions: <br /> Lowest Respondent's final validated Price Proposal: $19,000,000 <br /> Respondent 2 final validated Price Proposal: $22,000,000 <br /> Calculations: <br /> 1. Determine percent difference between Respondent 2 and Respondent 1: (Respondent 2 <br /> Price Proposal — Respondent 1 Price Proposal) / Respondent 1 Price Proposal = <br /> ($22,000,000—$19,000,000)/$19,000,000 = 15.79% <br /> 2. Determine Prorated Points for Respondent 2: 100%— 15.79% = 84.21%. <br /> Calculate Points for Respondent 2: 84.21% x 600 = 505.26 points <br /> 7.3 Negotiations <br /> The Department intends to have discussions with up to the top three highest scoring Respondents <br /> under each award option to discuss their Technical and Price Proposals. The Department reserves <br /> the right to conduct negotiations with more or less than three Respondents if it is deemed in the best <br /> interest of the State.
