The submitted pricing must include all costs of performing pursuant to the resulting contract; and 2.

Invitation to Bid KCT-01346 KCTCS Revised 05/2019 8 of 14 6. Award 6.1. Method KCTCS intends to award a contract to one or more responsive and responsible Supplier(s), based on Best Value, who meets the Terms, Conditions, and Specifications of this Invitation to Bid. If it is not feasible to make an award in the manner proposed, KCTCS reserves the right to change the method of award. Best Value - Ranking Approach: with the ranking approach, price is one of the measurable criteria components of the solicitation. The measurable criteria are added together to determine the Supplier's total score. The Supplier with the highest score has the highest ranking. Award is made to the Supplier with the highest ranking. If there is only one best value response to the solicitation, the evaluation process will be waived and award will be made to the only responsive, responsible Supplier. 6.2. Measurable Criteria TOTAL POINTS 100 Points Each Supplier is responsible for submitting all relevant, factual and correct information with their offer to enable the evaluator(s) to afford each Supplier the maximum score based on the available data submitted by the Supplier. SUPPLIER MUST ENTER PERCENTAGE DISCOUNT ON THE BID SHEET. Price/Percentage discount (100 Points) The bidder with the highest percentage discount receives the maximum score. The bidder with the next highest percentage discount receives points by dividing the highest percentage discount by the next highest percentage discount and multiplying that percentage by the available points. For example, 100 points is allocated to the highest percentage discount for this procurement, Bidder “A” bids 20% as the highest percentage discounts and receives the maximum 100 points (0.20 / 0.20 = 1.00 x 100 = 100). Assume Bidder “B” is the next highest percentage discount bidder at 10%, then “B” receives 50 points (0.10 / 0.20 = 0.50 x 100 = 50). Best Value scoring is subject to Reciprocal Preference for Kentucky resident Suppliers. 6.3. Selection KCTCS reserves the right to: (a) reject any and all responses, in whole or in part; (b) request clarifications from Suppliers; and (c) take any other action as permitted by law. Any contract award(s) resulting from the Invitation to Bid will be based on best value to the responsive and responsible Supplier(s) meeting all specifications. KCTCS reserves the right to select one or more Suppliers for award and to award all items to one or more Suppliers, individual line items to one or more Suppliers, or subcategories of products/services to one or more Suppliers when to do so is in the best interest of KCTCS. Awarded supplier should not assume they will be the only supplier providing a specific brand/manufactured product to KCTCS. KCTCS reserves the right to not award a multi-year price contract, but still award the equipment in section 11 that is needed immediately. 6.4. Consideration To be considered for award of a contract, the Supplier must be in good standing with KCTCS System Office regarding past performance. In order to be considered for an award, Supplier cannot have had a contract with KCTCS that was not renewed or terminated early (unless at the Supplier’s request) for performance reasons within the previous twelve (12) months (from the bid opening date on this bid event). 6.5. Kentucky Reciprocal Preference Laws In accordance with KRS 45A.494, a resident bidder of the Commonwealth of Kentucky shall be given a preference against a nonresident bidder. In evaluating proposals, the University will apply a reciprocal preference against a bidder submitting a proposal from a state that grants residency preference equal to the preference given by the state of the nonresident bidder. Resident bidder and nonresident bidder shall be defined in accordance with KRS 45A.494(2) and 45A.494(3), respectively. Any Respondent claiming Kentucky residency status shall submit with its proposal a notarized affidavit affirming that it meets the criteria as set for in the above referenced statute.
