Evaluation Context (from original solicitation)

The original solicitation evaluated proposals based on Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. Technical and Past Performance were equally weighted and considered more important than Price. Bidders were required to submit proposals in three volumes: Technical, Past Performance, and Price. Compliance with various wage determinations for specific counties (Mobile AL, Bay FL, Okaloosa FL, Harrison MS, Escambia FL) was also a critical factor for pricing.
