Bid or Proposal Evaluation Criteria
(1)
General. A Public Improvement Contract, if awarded, shall be awarded to the Responsible Bidder submitting the lowest Responsive Bid, or to the Responsible Proposer submitting the best Responsive Proposal, provided that such Entity is not listed by the Construction Contractors Board as disqualified to hold a Contract for a Public Improvement. See OAR 731-005-0650 (Offer Evaluation and Award), and Rules for Alternative Contracting Methods at OAR 731-007-0360 (Use of Alternative Contracting Methods) to 731-007-0400 (Design/Build).(2)
Bid Evaluation Criteria. Invitations to Bid may solicit lump-sum Offers, unit-price Offers, or a combination of the two:(a)
If the ITB requires a lump-sum Bid, without additive or deductive alternates, or if ODOT elects not to award additive or deductive alternates, Bids shall be compared on the basis of lump-sum prices, or lump-sum base Bid prices, as applicable. If the ITB calls for a lump-sum base Bid, plus additive or deductive alternates, the Solicitation Documents shall provide the criteria for selection; and(b)
If the Bid includes unit pricing for estimated quantities, the total Bid price shall be calculated by multiplying the estimated quantities by the unit prices submitted by the Bidder, and adjusting for any additive or deductive alternates selected by ODOT, for the purpose of comparing Bids. In the event of mathematical discrepancies between unit price and any extended price calculations submitted by the Bidder, the unit price shall govern. See OAR 731-005-0620 (Mistakes)(2)(b).(3)
Proposal Evaluation Criteria. If DAS has exempted the procurement of a Public Improvement from the competitive bidding requirements of ORS 279C.335 (Competitive bidding)(1), and has authorized ODOT to use an Alternative Contracting Method under ORS 279C.335 (Competitive bidding)(3), ODOT shall set forth the evaluation criteria in the Solicitation Documents if they differ from those in division 5 (or the Specifications). See OAR 731-007-0390 (RFP Process), ORS 279C.335 (Competitive bidding)(2) and (3).
