In order for an Applicant to be considered responsible for this RFA and therefore eligible for
selection for best and final offers or selection for grant negotiations:
A. The total score for the technical submittal of the Applicant’s application must be greater
than or equal to 70% of the available technical points; and
B. Must meet the independence and conflict free requirements as set forth in RFP Section
IV-3.B.1; and
An Applicant which fails to demonstrate sufficient financial capability to assure good faith
performance of the grant as specified herein may be considered by the Department, in its sole
discretion, for Best and Final Offers or grant negotiation contingent upon such Applicant
providing performance security for the first grant year cost proposed by the Applicant in a form
acceptable to the Department. Based on the financial condition of the Applicant, the Department
may require a certified or bank (cashier’s) check, letter of credit, or a performance bond
conditioned upon the faithful performance of the grant by the Applicant. The required
performance security must be issued or executed by a bank or surety company authorized to do
business in the Commonwealth. The cost of the required performance security will be the sole
responsibility of the Applicant and cannot increase the Applicant’s cost submittal or the grant
cost to the Commonwealth.
Further, the Department will award a grant only to an Applicant determined to be responsible in
accordance with the most current version of Commonwealth Management Directive 215.9,
Contractor Responsibility Program.
