Eastern Contra Costa Transit Authority Contract ... - Tri Delta Transit

5. Technical Review Committee Evaluation Period
During this period, the Technical Review Committee will conduct an in-depth evaluation of the
technical proposal, the price proposal, and the interview.
It is the intention of ECCTA to award a contract to the proposer who demonstrates the attributes
of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity and experience to enable it to prosecute
the work successfully and properly. To determine the degree of responsibility to be credited to
the proposer, ECCTA will weigh any evidence that the proposer has performed satisfactorily
other contracts of like nature and magnitude, and comparable difficulty and rates of progress, to
the work. ECCTA shall have sole discretion to determine what contracts are of like nature and
magnitude, and comparable difficulty and rates of progress.
The results of this period may be a recommendation by the Technical Review Committee
regarding the Best and Final Offer Period.
6. Best and Final Offer Period
ECCTA, at its sole discretion, may eliminate the best and final offer period and go directly to the
Technical Review Committee recommendation period. Alternatively, ECCTA may issue a
request for a final supplement denominated the “Best and Final Offer”.
Best and Final Offer Request
ECCTA is under no obligation to request a best and final offer from each proposer and
ECCTA may, at its sole discretion, elect to send out a request for a best and final offer to
only those proposers ECCTA deems to be offering the highest quality service possible for
the best value possible.
ECCTA may:
1. Send a request to submit a best and final offer to those proposers that ECCTA
deems most likely to provide the highest quality service possible for the best value
possible; and
2. Send a notice to those proposers not invited to submit a best and final offer.
Rejected proposers wishing to appeal ECCTA’s decision shall follow the proposal
protest procedures outlined in the Information for Proposers section of this RFP.
Best and Final Offer Format
A best and final offer must be submitted in accordance with these instructions and
submitted on the “Price Proposal BAFO Form” that will be sent to the proposers invited
to submit a best and final offer.
