Proposal Shortlisting Sample Clauses

Proposal Shortlisting. The shortlisting rule for this solicitation shall be: any proposal within 10 points of the top initial Best Value ranked proposal (plus any ‘cluster’ of initial Best Value proposal scores surrounding the cut-off line). Cost evaluation results shall be considered along with the initial average after-group discussion written Technical and Management Proposal score results to determine initial offered Best Value, which shall lead to an initial Best Value-determined shortlisting of firms (determined to be mathematically susceptible for contract award). Firms submitting proposals which make the shortlist shall be invited to attend the interviews. Firms submitting proposals which do not make the shortlist shall not be included in the remaining Best Value evaluation process steps (not included in subsequent proposal scoring process) and will be offered a debriefing opportunity after and should NYSDOT announce a consultant selection decision.
