Proposals earning less than the minimum score with regards to any minimum acceptable
threshold or the total (% of maximum score) specified above shall be rejected from further
consideration.
In combining the Technical and Financial evaluation2, the following methodology shall be
applied:
The evaluated financial proposal (adjusted and corrected in accordance with the RFP) will be
converted to a final score (points) in the following manner:
FSa = LP EPa x 100
where:
a
FSa
LP
EPa
= the proposal being evaluated
= evaluated financial score for proposal a
= the lowest evaluated financial proposal
= the evaluated financial proposal for proposal a.
In combining the Financial Score with the Technical Score, the Financial
Score shall be given a weight of 20%.
The technical score and the financial score shall be combined in the
following manner:
CSa = TSa [(100-W)  100] + FSa (W  100)
where:
a

W
= the proposal being evaluated
= combined evaluated score of proposal a
= technical score for proposal a
(where TS max = 100)
= financial score for proposal a
(where FS max = 100)
= the weight given the financial score
