5. PROPOSAL EVALUATION

5.1. Evaluations shall be based on the criteria contained in the Evaluation Criteria and Submittal Items to

determine the proposals(s) that provide the best value to the County.

5.2. The County shall have the discretion, but not the obligation, to construe any submission as non-conforming

and ineligible for consideration if it does not conform to the requirements of this Request for Proposals.

The County shall also have the discretion to waive any irregularities or deviations from the requirements

of this Request for Proposals in any submission.

5.3. Small-Local Business preference: In accordance with Section 405 of the San Diego County Code of

Administrative Ordinances, when evaluating competing proposals, the County will give a fifteen percent

(15%) price preference to offerors that meet the definition of a Small-Local Business set forth in Board

Policy B-53 and that have completed the Small-Local Business Self-Certification Form.

The price preference will be applied to the proposed price portion of the evaluation only. Fifteen percent

(15%) or one hundred and fifty-thousand dollars ($150,000), whichever is less (“Price Adjustment”), shall

be subtracted from any Small-Local Business’s proposed price being evaluated for award (“Adjusted

Price”). A Small-Local Business’s Adjusted Price shall be the basis for evaluating the proposal’s price.

Contract award will be made to the proposer(s) providing the best value to the County after consideration

of the price preference and will be made at the unadjusted price. For example, a Small-Local Business

submitting a proposal for $100,000 would be evaluated as if the proposed price was $85,000. If, based on

the Adjusted Price, the Small-Local Business is evaluated to be the best value, the Small-Local Business

would be awarded a contract at the unadjusted price of $100,000.

5.4. Small-Local Business Subcontractor Utilization: Offeror’s failure to submit an acceptable Small-Local

Business Subcontractor Utilization Plan at time of submittal may result in the County rejecting Offeror’s

proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, County, at its sole discretion, may elect to allow an Offeror to

supplement, correct deficiencies in, or provide additional information or documentation to support its

Small-Local Business Subcontractor Utilization Plan.

5.5. During evaluation, County may appropriately consider the sustainability and social, human health,

environmental, and economic impact of Offeror’s proposed products and approach to providing goods and

services, in accordance with Board Policy B-67. Therefore, Offerors are encouraged to include relevant

information in their proposals.
