I. Evaluation of Proposals:
4. After the proposal opening, NNPS will select for further consideration two or more
Offerors deemed to be fully qualified and best suited among those submitting proposals
based on Offerors’ responses to the information requested in this RFP.
5. The following criteria will be used in the evaluation process:
a. Offeror’s experience, reference, and past performance – 30%
b. Offeror’s capability and skills – 25%
c. Offeror’s quality & suitability of Services & Equipment – 30%
d. Offeror’s proposed costs - 15%
6. Based on the initial evaluation, NNPS may request the selected Offerors to make oral
presentations. Thereafter, NNPS will conduct negotiations with each of the selected
shortlisted Offerors. Individuals representing the Offeror during negotiations shall have
the authority to negotiate and contractually bind the company to a contract.
7. After negotiations are completed, NNPS will select the Offeror who, in NNPS’s opinion,
has made the best proposal and shall award the contract to that Offeror (referred to in
this RFP as the Successful Offeror).
8. Should NNPS determine in writing and in its sole discretion that only one Offeror is fully
qualified, or that one Offeror is clearly more highly qualified than the others under
consideration, a contract may be negotiated and awarded to that Offeror.
9. NNPS is not required to furnish a statement of the reason(s) why a proposal was not
deemed to be the most advantageous.
