Consequently, KCTCS requires that each Supplier’s cost be structured as directed in the Invitation to Bid. Additional alternative cost structures will not be considered. 6. Award 6.1. Method KCTCS intends to award a contract to the responsive and responsible Supplier(s), based on Best Value, who meets the Terms, Conditions, and Specifications of this Invitation to Bid. 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 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 UNIT PRICE AND TOTAL PRICE ON THE BID SHEET. If adequate space is not available, the Supplier must attach additional information that clearly cross-references the appropriate location in the solicitation (i.e. page number, paragraph, subject, etc.). Price (100 Points) The bidder with the lowest Price receives the maximum score. The bidder with the next lowest Price receives points by dividing the lowest Price by the next lowest price and multiplying that percentage by the available points. For example, 100 points is allocated to the lowest Price criteria for this procurement, Bidder “A” bids $3.00 as the lowest bidder and receives the maximum 100 points ($3.00 / $3.00 = 1.00 x 100 = 100). Assume Bidder “B” is the next lowest bidder at $4.00, then “B” receives 75 points ($3.00 / $4.00) = .75 x 100 = 75). Method of Breaking Tie Bids: Tie low bids on the purchase of commodities/services may be broken in the following order if price and delivery are equal. 1. Time discount. 2. KRS 45A.494 Reciprocal preference to be given by public agencies to resident bidders -- List of states -- Administrative regulations. (4) If a procurement determination results in a tie between a resident bidder and a nonresident bidder, preference shall be given to the resident bidder. 3. Supplier who has performed satisfactorily in the past over supplier who has not previously served the KCTCS or who has not performed in satisfactory manner. 4. Flip of coin, witnessed by at least two KCTCS personnel. The bid file shall document one or more of the above listed factors. Best Value scoring is subject to Reciprocal Preference for Kentucky resident Suppliers. 8 | P a g e K C T - T B D Revised 09/2021 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 resulting from the Invitation to Bid will be made to the lowest, responsive and responsible Supplier meeting all specifications. 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, KCTCS 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. 6.6.
