NJPA - About Us - (Page 11) PROCUREMENT PROCESS 4) RECEIVING BIDDERS’ RESPONSES 5) EVALUATING BIDDERS’ RESPONSES Invitation for Bid Outline Bids are time and date-stamped upon arrival at NJPA and are opened at a public ceremony specified in the IFB. Evaluation begins at the bid opening by determining the “Responsiveness” of each bid received. “Level One Responsiveness” includes: • • • • • Timely submission. Properly tabbed and organized bid. An electronic as well as physical copies of their submission. Original signatures on appropriate documents. Bid bond/bid security has been all properly submitted. The evaluation process continues with “Level Two Responsiveness”, or the evaluation of the bid response by the Bid Evaluation Committee according to the procedures and parameters set by the IFB. Our typical IFB invites the widest possible variety of products and services within the scope of a bid. Our intention is to create a contract that provides the widest possible array of utility to the widest possible array of NJPA Members. We also specifically invite bidders to define their products and services not only by industry standard terms, but also in terms of the latest technological advances and its applicability and utility to our Members. The perceived procurement value of a bid to NJPA and its Members, in the opinion of NJPA, includes but is not limited to: • • • • • • • • • Demonstrate the desire and ability to meet the goals, intent, scope and specification of the IFB. Pricing. Qualifications of bidder, including financial strength, experience in the market place and the strength of management team. References from past customers, including prior experience of NJPA. Selection and variety of products and equipment offered. Value-added products, services and support of bidder’s products. Industry ranking and market place success. The bidder’s ability and desire to market, sell and service NJPA Members nationally. A clear, concise, aggressive and effective marketing plan. The final evaluation is conducted using the “Bid Evaluation” form defined in the IFB. This form establishes a weighted scoring method and also provides for an optional “Cost Comparison”. This point-based system is used as a part of the final scoring and awarded Vendor determination. 11 http://www.njpacoop.org
