Basis of Selection:

Highest Combined Rating of Technical Merit and Price

1.     To be declared responsive, a bid must:

2.     Bids not meeting (a), (b) and (c) will be declared
non-responsive.

combined rating of technical merit and price.  The ratio will be
60 % for the technical merit and 40 % for the price.

technical score for each responsive bid will be determined as
follows:  total number of points obtained / maximum number of
points available multiplied by the ratio of 60 %.

be prorated against the lowest evaluated price and the ratio of
40 %.  
       
6.     For each responsive bid, the technical merit score and
the pricing score will be added to determine its combined
rating.  


7.     Neither the responsive bid obtaining the highest
technical score nor the one with the lowest evaluated price will
necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the highest
combined rating of technical merit and price will be recommended
for award of a contract.
