Section III-195 - Technical Proposal-Adjusted Score

A. An adjusted score approach shall be used by the public agency in determining the winning proposal. An adjusted score shall be determined using the following components:

1. the technical score determined by the technical review committee. Weighing factors may be assigned to each element depending on its relative magnitude or significance to the overall project. Each technical review committee member shall rate his assigned element of the proposal from each of the design-builders on the short list and shall submit such scores to the chairman of the technical review committee. The schedule and price bid shall not be made known to the technical review committee during the scoring process. The chairman of the technical review committee shall adjust the scores for any applicable weighing factors and shall determine the total technical score for each proposal. Prior to determining the adjusted score, the chairman of the technical review committee shall notify each design-builder, in writing, of each design-builder's final total technical score;

2. the time value, consisting of the product of the proposed contract time expressed in calendar days multiplied by the value-per-calendar-day expressed in dollars established by the public agency and included in the scope of services package;

3. the price proposal.

B. The winning proposal shall be the proposal with the lowest adjusted score. The adjusted score for each design-build proposal shall be determined by the following formula: Adjusted Score = (Price Bid + Time Value) divided by Technical Score. If the Time Value is not mandatory and if it is not used, the Adjusted Score shall be determined by the following formula: Adjusted Score = Price Bid divided by Technical Score.
