Question:
What is the purpose of the "mini-bids" if we are pricing the work in this proposal and being scored on these prices?
Answer:
The initial scoring and evaluation is what will allow the respondents to be put on the APA listing. The prices given will be the MAXIMUM allowed pricing to be charged. Once the "mini bids" are done, this will be what will be used to determine what work is awarded. The mini bids will be awarded to the lowest bidder based off the given work order presented for bid.
