How to Evaluate Proposals Text Only.doc

The document outlines guidelines for evaluating proposals received in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Spokane County. It emphasizes the importance of conducting evaluations individually, professionally, objectively, and without bias. Confidentiality is highlighted as crucial for fair evaluation, with strict instructions not to discuss proposal contents or contact vendors. The evaluation process involves two stages: initial review for compliance with RFP requirements and scoring based on criteria like completeness, qualifications, experience, approach, and fee schedule. Evaluators score proposals individually, provide written comments, and then meet as a group to discuss and develop composite scores. Final rankings are determined collectively, and the highest-ranked proposal is recommended for approval and contract award by the Board of County Commissioners.
