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.
5.6. During evaluation, the County may appropriately evaluate the cultural competency of Offeror and Offeror's
proposed approach to providing goods and services. Therefore, Offerors are encouraged to include relevant
information in their proposals.
5.7. When evaluating an Offeror's cost or pricing, the County may also consider the effect of the proposal on the
overall total cost to the County.
5.8. In evaluating an Offeror's ability to satisfy the requirements of this RFP and any resulting contract, the County
may also consider any parent, subsidiary, or related legal entity of Offeror, including, without limitation, a legal
entity that Offeror acquired or merged with or will use as a guarantor in providing services to the County.
