The score for each criterion will be multiplied by its weight factor, which indicates the importance of each criterion as it relates to this contract.   For selection criteria without an assigned weight value, the score shall be “pass/fail”, with a “fail” rating possibly resulting in the disqualification of the applicant prior to the rating process.   Following the evaluation of the Statements of Qualifications received by the Sponsor’s selection committee, the top three (3) applicants will be placed on a short list. It shall be the option of the Sponsor, if the sponsor or selection committee feels further evaluation of the qualified short list applicants is necessary in order to determine the top-ranked firm, to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to all short list applicants. The RFP issued to all short list applicants shall contain instructions on the format (such as written proposal, interview, presentation, etc.) to be used in submitting proposals and information on how the proposals will be evaluated.   Following the final evaluation of qualified applicants, the Sponsor will place the applicants in a final ranking based on qualifications.

Should these negotiations be unsuccessful, the Sponsor shall enter negotiations with the next-highest ranked firm, and so on. The Sponsor reserves the right to reject all applicants and re-advertise for the contract.   Following the successful negotiation of fees with the Sponsor, the successful firm will be required to execute the standard LADOTD Aviation Section contract.   Firms wishing to apply must submit a fully completed SF 330.
