The contract will be awarded to the proposer who provides the best value to the city, considering purchase price, experience, reputation, quality, impact on compliance with laws relating to historically underutilized businesses and nonprofit organizations employing persons with disabilities, total long-term cost, and other relevant criteria.
Proposers must provide written evidence of their qualifications, such as financial data, previous experience, and present commitments, to demonstrate their ability to perform the work and meet best value considerations.
