Bid Attributes

1 Evaluation Criteria

The evaluation of this RFP/RFQ may be based upon, but not limited to:

Price

Pesticides are listed for delivery to two locations. The award will be made to the low bid for the total cost

of all locations.

The total of all items from a vendor will be evaluated and the award will be made on a least cost,

"all or none", basis with the following exception: If vendor A is the lowest cumulative bidder on the

items vendor A has quoted, but vendor A is unable to provide one or two items, vendor A will be

selected if vendor A is the low bidder on the remaining items. If the items not available to Vendor A

are bid by other vendors responding to this quotation request, ISU will contact the low bidder for

these items by phone, to determine whether or not this vendor will agree to deliver those items not

available to vendor A, at the price originally quoted. This process will continue until a vendor is

located that is willing to provide the items not available to vendor A. Please bid all items available

to you.

ISU will use rebates as part of the evaluation to determine the lowest total cost.

Equivalent generic products will be considered if this statement is noted along with product: “or

equivalent generic.” However, if ISU is unfamiliar with the generic product bid, ISU reserves the option to

not purchase the product based on risk of damage to crops or lack of pest control
