PRICE EVALUATION: Price shall not be disclosed to the members of the evaluation committee until the technical evaluation process is completed. Price will be evaluated by the responsible Procurement Officer, based on the price submitted on the Rate Response Form, and the loss evaluation figures provided by the Evaluation Committee, in accordance with the scoring methodology outlined herein.

SCORING METHODOLOGY: Non-Price, Technical : Proposals will be evaluated on non-price, technical criteria as follows. Each member of the evaluation committee will independently enter a scaled rating (1-10) for each criterion outlined above. The scaled rating will then be multiplied by the weight to produce a weighted score for each factor. The weighted scores of all non-price factors will then be summed to provide a total weighted technical score for each Proposal. Finally, the total weighted technical scores of all evaluators are summed to produce an aggregate score of all evaluators for each Proposal. The aggregate score of each Proposal will then be divided by the number of evaluators to produce an average non-price technical qualifications score for each Proposal. The highest number of technical points attainable is 300. Offers not receiving a minimum score of 150 points for non

-price, technical criteria will not be eligible for further consideration.
Price: Points for price will be calculated by the Procurement Officer, based upon the pricing information submitted by each Offeror on the Rate Response Form and loss evaluation figures provided by the Evaluation Committee, as follows: The appropriate loss adjustment number will be multiplied by the respective guaranteed loss value in kW provided by the Offeror.. The results will be added to the Offereor's price to give a total price for evaluation purposes. See example below:

Offeror's Price: $225,000 (a) Provides loss adjuments of: 10 kW No-Load losses 50 kW Load losses (b) 10 kW multiplied by $4655 per kW (10 x $4655 = $46,550) (c) 50 kW multiplied by $2793 per kW (50 x $2793 = $139,650) (d) Totals of (b) and (c) are added ($46,550 + $139,650 = $186,200) (e) Total of (b) and (c) is added to Offeror's Price ($186,200 + $225,000) (f) Total evaluation price: $411,200 Once the loss evaluation adjustment has been made to each Offeror's price, the maximum number of points allowable for price shall be given to the responsive, responsible Offeror whose proposal has the lowest adjusted price. (For purposes of this RFP, this number is 700.) The Procurement Officer will then multiply the lowest proposal price by the assigned weight for price and divide that number by the price of each successively higher priced proposal. This will produce a mathematically proportional assignment of price points for each Offeror. See the example below:

(a) Offer A is $105,000, Offer B is $123,000, Offer C is $134,000

therefore, (b) Assume Price is given a weight of 70. Offer A receives 700 points (c) Offer B's price points are calculated as follows:

See example below: Offeror's Price: $225,000 (a) Provides loss adjuments of: 10 kW No-Load losses 50 kW Load losses (b) 10 kW multiplied by $4655 per kW (10 x $4655

# =$46,550) (c) 50 kW multiplied by $2793 per kW (50 x $2793

# =$139,650) (d) Totals of(b) and (c) are added ($46,550 

### +$139,650 =

### $186,200) (e) Total of(b) and (c) is added to Offeror's Price ($186,200 +

### $225,000) (f) Total evaluation price: $411,200 Once the loss evaluation adjustment has been made to each Offeror's price, the maximum number of points allowable for price shall be given to the responsive, responsible Offeror whose proposal has the lowestadjusted price. (For purposes ofthis RFP, this number is 700.)
The Procurement Officer will then multiply the lowest proposal price by the assigned weight for price and divide that number by the price of each successively higher priced proposal. This will produce a mathematically proportional assignmentofprice pointsfor each Offeror. Seethe example below: (a) OfferA is $105,000, Offer8 is $123,000, OfferCis$134,000 therefore, (b) Assume Price is given aweight of70. OfferA receives 700 points (c) Offer8's price points are calculated as follows:

### University of Alaska Fairbanks Request for Proposals No. 04POO16DH Page 34 Evaluation $105,000 x 700 = 598 (md) Price points for B $123,000 (d) Offer C's price points are calculated as follows:

$105,000 x 700 = 549 (rnd) Price points for C $134,000 If additional rounds of price competition are required, the steps above are repeated for each subsequent price submittal. Final Score and Award : The Procurement Officer shall reconcile each evaluation form for the proper procedures, consistency, mathematical extensions, and totals. The Procurement Officer shall then add theprice score to the Evaluation Committee's technical evaluation score for each proposal to produce the final score and rank order of the Offerors. Award may then be made to the Offeror with the highest total score.
