The Issuing Office shall post the answers to the questions on the DGS website by the date stated on the Calendar of Events. A Professional who submits a question after the deadline date for receipt of questions indicated on the Calendar of Events assumes the risk that its proposal will not be responsive or competitive because the Commonwealth is not able to respond before the proposal receipt date or in sufficient time for the Professional to prepare a responsive or competitive proposal. When submitted after the deadline date for receipt of questions indicated on the Calendar of Events, the Issuing Office may respond to questions of an administrative nature by directing the questioning Professional to specific provisions in the RFP. To the extent that the Issuing Office decides to respond to a non-administrative question after the deadline date for receipt of questions indicated on the Calendar of Events, the answer must be provided to all Professionals through an addendum. All questions and responses as posted on the DGS website are considered as an addendum to, and part of, this RFP in accordance with RFP Part I, Section I-10.

The Issuing Office shall not be bound by any verbal information nor shall it be bound by any written information that is not either contained within the RFP or formally issued as an addendum by the Issuing Office. The Issuing Office does not consider questions to be a protest of the specifications or of the solicitation. The required protest process for Commonwealth procurements is described in Section 1711.1 of the Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 P.S. 1711.1. I-10. I-11. Addenda to the RFP. If the Issuing Office deems it necessary to revise any part of this RFP before the proposal response date, the Issuing Office will post an addendum to the DGS website at http://www.dgsweb.state.pa.us/rta/search.aspx.

To be considered, proposals must arrive at the Issuing Office on or before the time and date specified in the Calendar of Events. Professionals mailing proposals should allow sufficient mail delivery time to ensure timely receipt of their proposals. Faxed proposals will not be considered.

A subcontracting commitment less than five percent (5%) of the total contract value is considered nominal and will receive reduced or no additional SDB points depending on the priority ranking. Priority Rank 1: Proposals submitted by SDBs as prime Professionals will receive 150 points. In addition, SDB prime Professionals that have significant subcontracting commitments to additional SDBs may receive up to an additional 50 points (200 points total available). Page 17 of 22

Subcontracting commitments to additional SDBs are evaluated based on the proposal offering the highest total percentage SDB subcontracting commitment. All other Professionals will be scored in proportion to the highest total percentage SDB subcontracting commitment within this ranking. See formula below. Priority Rank 2: Proposals submitted by SDBs as prime contractors, with no or nominal subcontracting commitments to additional SDBs, will receive 150 points. Priority Rank 3: Proposals submitted by non-small diverse businesses as prime contractors, with significant subcontracting commitments to SDBs, will receive up to 100 points. Proposals submitted with nominal subcontracting commitments to SDBs will receive points equal to the percentage level of their total SDB subcontracting commitment. SDB subcontracting commitments are evaluated based on the proposal offering the highest total percentage SDB subcontracting commitment. All other Professionals will be scored in proportion to the highest total percentage SDB subcontracting commitment within this ranking. See formula below. Priority Rank 4: Proposals by non-small diverse businesses as prime contractors with no SDB subcontracting commitments shall receive no points under this criterion. To the extent that there are multiple SDB Participation submittals in Priority Rank 1 and/or Priority Rank 3 that offer significant subcontracting commitments to SDBs, the proposal offering the highest total percentage SDB subcontracting commitment shall receive the highest score (or additional points) available in that Priority Rank category and the other proposal(s) in that category shall be scored in proportion to the highest total percentage SDB subcontracting commitment. Proportional scoring is determined by applying the following formula: SDB % Being Scored x Points/Additional = Awarded/Additional Highest % SDB Commitment Points Available* SDB Points Priority Rank 1 = 50 Additional Points Available Priority Rank 3 = 100 Total Points Available Please refer to the following webpage for an illustrative chart which shows SDB scoring based on a hypothetical situation in which the Commonwealth receives proposals for each Priority Rank: http://www.dgs.pa.gov/businesses/materials%20and%20services%20procurement/procu rement-resources/pages/default.aspx.

C. Domestic Workforce Utilization. Any points received for the Domestic Workforce Utilization criterion are bonus points in addition to the total points for this RFP. The maximum bonus points for this criterion is 3% of the total points for this RFP. To the extent permitted by the laws and treaties of the United States, each proposal will be scored for its commitment to use domestic workforce in the fulfillment of the contract. Maximum consideration will be given to those Professionals who will perform the contracted direct labor exclusively within the geographical boundaries of the United States or within the geographical boundaries of a country that is a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. Those who propose to perform a portion of the direct labor outside of the United States and not within the geographical boundaries of a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement will receive a correspondingly smaller score for this criterion. Professionals who seek consideration for this criterion must submit in hardcopy the signed Domestic Workforce Utilization Certification Form attached here to as Appendix B in the same sealed envelope with the Technical Submittal. The certification will be included as a contractual obligation when the contract is executed. III-5. Fee Negotiation. In accordance with the selection method in Section 905(g) of the CPC, once the Department has determined the highest qualified firm, it will use the cost data submitted by the Professional as part of its proposal as a basis for negotiating a fee determined to be fair and reasonable to the Commonwealth. Final negotiated cost data will be attached to the PROFESSIONAL DESIGN SERVICES AGREEMENT as SCHEDULE A and SCHEDULE B. III-6. Professional Responsibility. To be responsible, a Professional must submit a responsive proposal and possess the capability to fully perform the contract requirements in all respects and the integrity and reliability to assure good faith performance of the contract. In order for a Professional to be considered responsible for this RFP, and therefore, eligible for selection for best and final offer or selection for contract negotiations, the total score for the technical submittal of the Professional s proposal must be greater than or equal to 70% of the available technical points. Further, the Issuing Office will award a contract only to a Professional determined to be responsible in accordance with the most current version of Commonwealth Management Directive 215.9, Contractor Responsibility Program. III-7. Final Ranking and Award. A. After any best and final offer process conducted, the Issuing Office will combine the evaluation committee s final technical scores, BSBO s final small diverse business participation scores, and (when applicable) the domestic workforce utilization scores, in accordance with the relative weights assigned to these areas as set forth in this Part. Page 19 of 22

B. The Issuing Office will rank responsible Professionals according to the total overall score assigned to each, in descending order. C. The Issuing Office must select for contract negotiations the Professional with the highest overall score. D. The Issuing Office has the discretion to reject all proposals or cancel the request for proposals, at any time prior to the time a contract is fully executed, when it is in the best interests of the Commonwealth. The reasons for the rejection or cancellation shall be made part of the contract file. Page 20 of 22
