RFP Evaluation Criteria
The RFP will be evaluated on three criteria: Company Profile, Management
Plan and Costs. Company Profile - the experience and resources that
a proponent brings to the operation of a transit system is assigned
20% of the total evaluation points. Management Plan - the specific plan
for the operation and management of the transit system and associated
cost controls is assigned 60% of the total evaluation points. Costs
- the proposal costs required for the first two years are assigned 20%
of the total evaluation points. If two proponents score an equal amount
of points, the proponent with the lowest proposal on cost will be recommended.
A two-envelope system will be used for the RFP. Proponents are instructed
to submit their Company Profile and Management Plan in one envelope
and Costs in the second envelope. The proposals will be initially evaluated
on the contents of the Company Profile and Management Plan (first envelope)
and those obtaining 70% of the available points will be considered further.
These proponents will be evaluated on their Costs submissions. The points
of both envelopes will be added together to arrive at the aggregate
total for each proponent.

are relevant to the local transit conditions.

Costs
Costs will be evaluated only for those proposals making the short list
after the Company Profile and Management Plan evaluation. Proposals
which are determined to be capable of operating the transit system (achieving
70% of the available points in the first two sections) will make the
short list and advance to the next evaluation criteria section - Costs.
Proposals which do not meet this requirement will be eliminated from
consideration and returned with no further evaluation.
