Common use of PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA Clause in Contracts

PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA. A. Administrative Ability - 12 points The applicant demonstrates evidence of administrative capacity to meet federal, state, and county administrative requirements. Applicant demonstrates an ability to provide timely and accurate monthly client and financial reports. Applicant demonstrates an ability to be responsive to crisis situations, including, but not limited to, variations in client referral volume and serving exceptional cases. In scoring proposals, for agencies currently under contract with DHHS, reviewers will consider the on time and accuracy rate of applicant in prior year’s required submissions. For new applicants, reviewers will consider the on time and accuracy rate of applicant as described by the person providing the required Performance Assessment report (item 18c or 18c-2). Additionally, in scoring proposals for Administrative ability, reviewers will consider the accuracy and completeness of the proposal. Inaccurate or incomplete proposals will receive reduced scores. For new applicants (existing agencies without current or recent-within last two years-DHHS contracting experience), the provided Performance Assessment for New Applicant Agency report must attest to the applicant’s level of timeliness and accuracy of required submissions. This letter must be completed by an authorized representative of a prior fundor. For new agencies without an agency contracting history of any kind, the Performance Assessment for New Applicant Leadership report is subject to the same requirements as above, but will be for the head of the organization and senior fiscal and program staff. This document may be completed either by a prior fundor or by prior employer. Performance Assessment reports for agencies with non-DHHS contracting history and for new applicants without any agency contracting history must use Item 18c or 18c-2. The applicant shall describe its history, if any, as well as proposed strategy for handling crisis situations, as defined above, using specific examples. For full points, applicant must have an existing system in place that addresses crisis situations. For applicants without previous experience handling crisis situations, proposal will be scored based on the quality of proposed strategy. Examples of strategies to respond to crisis situations can include, but are not limited to: referral networks, flexible staffing arrangements-such as contingency workers, on call staff, or “pool” workers, and other strategies to expand or reduce physical or staff capacity. Administrative Ability will also be scored based on reviewers’ prior experience, if applicable, with applicant relating to these criteria.
