<br />. <br /> <br />SECTION E <br />EVALUATION CRITERIA <br /> <br />E.l General. Each proposal will be evaluated using the following <br />numerical evaluation criteria. Reclamation will attempt to negotiate a <br />cooperative agreement (refer to Section G) with the offeror with the <br />highest numerical score. Failing this, Reclamation will attempt to <br />negotiate with the next most highly rated offeror. <br /> <br />Selection criteria will include least cost to Reclamation for each ton <br />of salt removed ($/ton), environmental acceptability, Company's <br />experience with similar projects, and project support. Numerical <br />scores will be computed as follows: <br /> <br />(a) Cost to Reclamation for Salinity Reduction - The cost per ton <br />of salt removed will be evaluated using present worth procedures at <br />8-7/8 per cent for the project life. The proposal shall include a <br />quarterly schedule of the cost per ton of salt removed, the tons <br />removed, and the payment by Reclamation to the offeror. The term of <br />the cooperative agreement will be negotiated, however, it is expected <br />to continue for more than 20 yearB. No proposal will be considered <br />which will provide less than 20,000 tons of salt removal per year. <br /> <br />Cost of salinity reduction will be evaluated using the following <br />formula (maximum score allowed - 120 points): <br /> <br />(100 - $/ton) x 3 - SCORE <br /> <br />Where $/ton is the present worth amount per ton charged by the Company <br />for all of its Bervices, including all of its costs for planning, <br />constructing, and operating the brine collection system, desalination <br />facility, and the salt disposal facility. <br /> <br />(b) Environmental Acceptability - Each proposal shall clearly <br />demonstrate the ability of the proposed project to comply with all <br />applicable and relevant Federal, state, and local laws and permit <br />requirements. <br /> <br />For each of the 6 environmental criterion listed below, the proposal <br />shall addreBs all applicable permit requirements and permit compliance, <br />applicable laws and their compliance, and any mitigation measures which <br />will be used to reduce the environmental impact of construction of the <br />project and the operation of the project individually. <br /> <br />For each of the 6 environmental criterion listed below, points will be <br />awarded on a continuous scale from 0 to 10 points for the construction <br />impacts and 0 to 10 points for the operation impacts. For each of the <br />categories of impacts, construction and operation, no points will be <br />given for major negative impacts, 5 points for no impacts, and up to 10 <br />points for positive impacts. <br /> <br />&1 <br />
