TECHNICAL EVALUATION CRITERIA

Mandatory and point rated technical criteria are included in
Attachment 2 of the bid solicitation.

BASIS OF SELECTION -- HIGHEST COMBINED RATING OF TECHNICAL MERIT
AND PRICE

1.	To be declared responsive, a bid must:

(a)	comply with all the requirements of the bid solicitation; 

(b)	meet all mandatory technical and management evaluation
criteria; 

(c)	obtain the required minimum points for each criterion with a
pass mark;


Bids not meeting (a) or (b) or (c) will be declared
non-responsive. Neither the responsive bid that receives the
highest number of points nor the one that proposed the lowest
price will necessarily be accepted. The responsive bid with the
lowest evaluated price per point will be recommended for award
of a contract. The evaluated price per point will be determined
by dividing the evaluated price of the bid by the number of
points obtained for the point rated technical and management
evaluation criteria.

In the event that two or more responsive bids have the same
lowest evaluated price per point, the responsive bid with the
lowest evaluated price will be recommended for award of a
contract.
