Appendix C-1— Design Proposal Evaluation Guide & Form Introduction These guidelines are provided to assist you in the evaluation of proposals received in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP). As amember of the Evaluation Committee, you represent the Township of West Orange and your reviews of the proposals must be conducted individually and professionally. Evaluation Committee members must follow the established evaluation format and be able to evaluate all proposals objectively and without bias. One of the most important elements in the evaluation process is the assurance that each Offeror is treated fairly and equally. Evaluation Guidelines The proposals will be evaluated in two stages. First, the submitted proposals are reviewed for responsiveness to determine if they are in compliance with the RFP submission requirements. The proposals will then be scored based upon the criteria presented on the RFP Evaluation Form which MUST be consistent the requirements of the RFP. Each proposal must be scored by multiplying the rating you determine it deserves by the weighted value of the RFP criterion on the Proposal Evaluation Form. Pricing The pricing is not included in this evaluation and will be negotiated once the highest scored proposal is determined. Rating TEN (10) BEING EXCELLENT AND ZERO (0) BEING UNSATISFACTORY. You should give considerable thought to the rating you award. The evaluation process is designed to value the judgment and assessment of each individual evaluator. As an evaluator, your scores must reflect your individual judgment based on the selection criteria. You must complete your evaluation and score each proposal prior to attending the Evaluation Committee meeting. Discussion among the evaluators is encouraged to ensure the best value for the Township is achieved. The scores will then be tabulated. The highest scoring offeror(s) may be required to be interviewed by the Evaluation Committee. The interview/presentation is the second stage of the process. It is not mandatory; however, it is a good tool for the Evaluation Committee to use in its evaluation. It provides an opportunity to meet the key personnel. It is subjective and is not scored. You will be asked to rank the firms interviewed after all the interviews are completed. At the end of the interviews, the Evaluation Committee will have a discussion and do a final ranking
