Section 18.28.6.11 - AWARD OF CONTRACTS

Nothing in this rule requires the department to award a contract during either of the contract phases.

A. The basis for selection for award of contract shall be stated in the RFP and may be based on any of the following approaches:

(1) responsible offeror with lowest priced, responsive proposal. If the RFP includes minimum technical level, no proposal shall be considered responsive unless it meets that level;

(2) responsible offeror whose proposal is evaluated as providing the best value to the department;

(3) responsible offeror whose proposal is evaluated as the most qualified; or

(4) other approaches determined by the chief engineer or designee, which satisfy the requirements of the procurement code.

B. The second phase construction services contract may be awarded after the project plans have been sufficiently developed and the GMP for construction services has been successfully validated and accepted by the department.

C. In the event a GMP is not validated and accepted, the department may:

(1) terminate the CMGC contract; and

(2) proceed to award the second phase construction services contract through the competitive sealed bid process.

D. If the department proceeds to award the second phase construction services contract through the competitive sealed bid process, the CMGC is prohibited from bidding.
