  1. The first step in the evaluation process will be to review the technical proposals for compliance with the proposal format in Section III of the SOW (Contractor Response).
  2. The next level of review will be an evaluation for technical merit. The State Agency will evaluate each submitted SOW Response based on its appropriateness to the performance of the Agency requirements, its applicability to the State Agencys environment, and its effective utilization of contractor and state resources. During this review, oral presentations and discussions may be held at the request of the state agency. The purpose of this review will be to assure a full understanding of the States requirements and the contractors ability to perform.
