Best Value Procurement
The Assessor’s Office will
select which proposal to accept based on Best
Value Procurement
practices. Under Best
Value Procurement, the
Assessor’s Office will
consider the proposed
price, and the total cost of
acquiring, operating,
maintaining and
supporting the requested
commodity or service over its projected lifetime,
balanced with the
evaluated manner in
which the proposal
addresses the business
objectives set forth in the
Request for Proposal.
While the price is a key
consideration, this does
not mean that the
Assessor’s Office will
necessarily select the
lowest bid; it will select the bid that, after due and
thorough evaluation, is
determined to most
effectively meet the needs of the Assessor’s Office
for the best value.
