Summary:
|
The District issued a Request for Proposals for the procurement of Structured Cabling Services (“RFP”), pursuant to the federal Universal Service Administration Company (“USAC”) requirements and Public Contract Code section 20118.2. Section 20118.2 provides that for the procurement of technology, telecommunications, related equipment, software, and services, the District is to engage in a competitive negotiation with vendors, including but not limited to identifying and evaluating specific criteria. The District is not required to award the contract to the lowest proposer if that proposer did not receive the highest score based on the District’s evaluation criteria.
The District received seven proposals in response to the RFP, which were evaluated and scored by District staff according to the evaluation criteria set forth in the RFP. Based on the District’s evaluation, GA Tech received the highest score.
On Friday, March 4, 2022, the District issued a Notice to Contractors of its intent to award the contract to GA Tech. Subsequently, on March 10, 2022, X-act Technology Solutions, which submitted the proposal that was the lowest price, but received the second-highest score, submitted a formal protest to the District.
