Request for Proposals (RFP)
RFPs are used mainly to obtain professional services. The RFP process allows JCMUA to weigh the relative merits of proposals submitted by competing offers. A contract shall be awarded to the offeror submitting the most advantageous offer to JCMUA.
Below are the general evaluation criteria used in rating RFPs:
- Quality of the proposer’s technical approach
- Overall responsiveness of the proposal
- Quality and experience of the firm and key personnel
- Cost competitiveness of the proposal
- Financial stability and ability to meet JCMUA’s affirmative action standards
Proposals must be submitted within the time and date specified. Any proposals received after the time and date will not be accepted. Proposals sent via facsimile will not be accepted. Proposals shall not be opened publicly but shall be opened in the presence of one or more witnesses. The proposal contents shall be kept confidential and not disclosed to competing offerors until the evaluation process is completed and JCMUA executes the contract.
