Scope of Work

GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of this proposal is to contract with an Offeror/s who shall freshly prepare and deliver quality pizza at

a reasonable price that meets the regulations and specifications outlined in this proposal.

Because of the high volume of usage each day, the District has determined that it is in the best interest of the

District to group like schools together and reference these grouped schools as “Regions.” While demands shall be

customer driven, it is important that Offerors responding to this Proposal are aware of the possible high volumes

and are able to meet the demands and expectations as outlined in this Proposal.

Responding Offerors may provide prices for all Regions or as little as one Region, as determined to be in the best

interest of the Offeror and the District.

All elementary and middle school sites shall receive two deliveries per day on their specified day – either

Monday, Wednesday or Friday of each week – as indicated in this Proposal.

All High schools shall receive two deliveries daily, as indicated in this proposal.

Regions

Deer Valley Unified School District has grouped schools similar in meal service and/or geographic location,

forming Regions. Responding Offerors may bid on one or more Regions. Pricing proposed by Offeror may differ

from Region to Region, but shall remain the same for all sites listed within each Region.

Delivery days for each Region have been specified; when Monday/Friday is shown as the delivery day, the day of

Monday or Friday shall be decided upon after the award of contract. All delivery days shall be on the same day

for all sites listed within the Region.

Prices shall be listed on Region Pricing Table for each Region upon which Offeror wishes to bid. Offerors shall

provide prices for pies with 12 ounces or 16 ounces of cheese as indicated on Region Pricing Table. In addition,

prices shall be provided for pies with one topping (which is typically pepperoni) and with two toppings.

Deliveries

Up to two deliveries per site per day shall be expected, depending on the needs of each site. Deliveries are

expected on time, as specified by the site managers after award of contract. Late deliveries shall not be accepted

and sites shall not be held accountable for unsold product due to late delivery. Excessive late deliveries shall be

justification to cancel this contract.

Delivery days for each site shall be the same for all sites within a Region, on the day indicated. For those sites

listing Monday/Friday as their delivery day, the District shall decide with the Offeror, after award of contract as to

which day this will be.

Estimated Usage/Minimums

Offeror shall not set minimum delivery requirements for each location without prior communication and approval

from Deer Valley Unified School District Food & Nutrition District Office. The estimated usage provided is an

educated guess on the part of Deer Valley Unified School District Food & Nutrition and shall not obligate the

District to purchase the quantities indicated. Estimated usage has been provided for all sites, but shall not obligate

all sites to order. The District shall make this decision based on the need and customer demand at each location.

Price

Price quoted shall be the total delivered price including all discounts, delivery, tips, and shall be void of tax.

Offeror may choose to bid on one or more Regions represented in this Proposal. Pricing proposed by Offeror may

differ from Region to Region, but shall remain the same for all sites listed within each Region.

Reference List/Performance Evaluations

Offeror shall submit a reference list of three (3) educational institutions, preferably of comparable size to Deer

Valley Unified School District, with which they have done business within the past three (3) years. Offeror shall

send Performance Evaluation Surveys to past and/or present clients. Offeror’s clients will return the completed

forms directly to Deer Valley Unified School District, and the ratings will be averaged together to obtain

Offeror’s past performance rating.

Page 10 of 41 / RFP 16-006-5 Fresh Pizza Delivery

Terms of Award

It is the intent of the District to award a multi-term contract beginning July 1, 2016 and continuing through June

30, 2017. Award of this contract shall be made per Region; responding Offerors may be awarded more than one

Region. If all conditions are met during this period of time, funding is available, and contract is deemed to be in

the best interest of the District, contract may be extended for up to an additional four (4) one-year contracts.

However, no contract exists unless and until a purchase order is issued each fiscal year.

Award Criteria

The award criteria will be divided into four (4) categories, with up to one hundred (100) points possible. The

points indicated for each sub-category represent the greatest amount that may be awarded for each sub-category.

The District shall evaluate each Region as outlined below:

Quality (40) – Quality shall be evaluated on results of the taste test (10 points), receiving temperature (10 points),

appearance (10 points), equal cut slices (10 points). A total of 40 points are possible in this category.

Price (25) – Prices provided on Region Pricing Table shall be evaluated. A total of 25 points are possible in this

category.

Performance Evaluations (25) – Offeror shall submit a reference list of three (3) educational institutions or similar

large facility, preferably of comparable size to Deer Valley Unified School District, with which they have done

business within the past three (3) years. Offeror shall send Performance Evaluation Surveys to past and/or present

ratings will be averaged together to obtain Offeror’s past performance rating. A total of 25 points are possible in

this category. A score of zero (0) will be given if no surveys are received from Offeror’s clients.

Responsiveness (10) – Proposals will be evaluated for completeness to determine if all requirements have been

met and all documents have been included. A total of 10 points are possible in this category.

claims arising out of the ownership, maintenance or use of owned, hired or non-owned vehicles

used by Offeror or its employees, while providing services to the District.

Successful Offeror will be required to provide proof of and maintain comprehensive general

liability insurance with a limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000

aggregate coverage with a deductible of not more than $5,000 and naming DEER VALLEY

UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 97 as an additional insured party.

Successful Offeror will be required to submit proof of and maintain Worker’s Compensation and

Employer’s Liability Insurance as required by law.

B. Safety

Offeror, at its own expense and at all times, shall take all reasonable precautions to protect

persons and the District property from damage, loss or injury resulting from the activities of

Offeror, its employees, its subcontractors, and/or other persons present. Offeror will comply with

all specific job safety requirements promulgated by any governmental authority, including

without limitation, the requirements of the Occupational Safety Health Act of 1970.

2. Evaluation Schedule

The proposals will be initially evaluated for conforming to the requirements of the RFP. Then a technical

score will be given. The proposals with the highest scores may be interviewed to determine the best

interests of the District.

3. Terms of Award

It is the intent of the District to award a multi-term contract, beginning during the fiscal year 2016/17, and

continuing until 6/30/2017. If all conditions are met during this period of time, this contract can be

extended, if funding is available, for up to an additional four one-year contracts. However, no contract

exists unless and until a purchase order is issued each fiscal year.

4. Multiple Award

A contract under this proposal may be awarded to multiple Offerors.

Page 26 of 41 / RFP 16-006-5 Fresh Pizza Delivery

5. Award Basis

The successful Offeror will be determined by evaluation criteria including but not limited to pricing, or

other incentives offered. The DEER VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 97 reserves the

right to award as many term contracts for the services as may be in the best interest of the District.

Awards will not be made based on price alone.

The District reserves the right to arrange for discussions to assist in the evaluation of proposals in

accordance with A.A.C. R7-2-1047.

Any deviation from the general terms and conditions or exceptions taken shall be described fully and

appended to the proposal form on the offeror's letterhead over the signature of the person signing the

proposal form. Such appendages shall be considered part of the offeror’s formal proposal. For the

absence of any statements of deviation or exception, the proposal shall be accepted as in strict compliance

with all terms and conditions.

If an Offeror receives a contract award and is unable to meet the services requirements as outlined in this

Solicitation, or is unable to hold proposal price, or fails to provide acceptable service as determined by the

District, the District reserves the right to go to the next lowest ranked Offeror.

6. Evaluation

Representatives of the District will evaluate the proposals and rank them from the most likely to the one

least likely to meet the requirements outlined in the RFP. If several proposals are very closely ranked, the

District may call for interviews to assist in the decision making. In addition to interviews, the District

reserves the option to call for and enter into discussions with the firms considered most likely to meet the

requirements for the purpose of negotiations, on pricing and/or other portions of the proposal, if

considered by the District to be in the best interest of the District.

The evaluation criteria are listed below in relative order of importance. (Specific weighing may be used,

but will not be required):

A. Quality – Quality of the product is important and will be a significant factor in the evaluation

process.

B. Cost – While cost is a significant factor in considering the placement of the awards, it is not the

only factor. The award will not be based on price alone, nor will it be based solely upon the

lowest fees submitted.

C. Past Performance – Information obtained by the District from Performance Evaluation survey

obtained from Offeror’s references or other clients. A score of zero will be given if no surveys

are received from Offeror’s clients.

D. Responsiveness – Responsiveness of the proposal in clearly stating and understanding the scope

of work, and in meeting the requirements of the RFP.

7. Billing

All billing notices must be sent to accounts payable as shown on the purchase orders. All invoices shall

identify the specific item(s) being billed. Any purchase order issued by DEER VALLEY UNIFIED

SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 97 will refer to the RFP number of this Proposal.

Page 27 of 41 / RFP 16-006-5 Fresh Pizza Delivery

8. Price Clause

Prices shall be firm for the term of the contract. Prices as stated must be complete for the services offered

and shall include all associated costs. DO NOT include sales tax on any item in the proposal.

After initial contract term and prior to any contract renewal, the DEER VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL

DISTRICT NO. 97 will review fully documented requests for price increases and may at its sole option

accept any changes or cancel from the contract those items concerned. The Offeror shall likewise offer

any published price reduction, during the contract period, to the District concurrent with its announcement

to other customers. All price adjustments will be effective upon acceptance of the DEER VALLEY

UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 97.

9. Award

It is expected that the award of this contract will be made in 2016. The District reserves the right to ask

for a best and final. Interviews may be required to clarify any issues that arise after each RFP is read.

10. Procurement Card

The District may utilize a Procurement Card program to both improve and expedite the purchasing and

payment process. Upon implementation, the District will be asking Offerors to offer a prompt payment

discount taking into consideration receipt of payment within seventy-two (72) hours from time of

payment processing. This program is only available to Offerors that are not 1099 reportable to the Internal

Revenue Service. Any costs or charges to the Offeror will be based on the transaction dollar amount and

is from the Offeror’s servicing bank. The Offeror should contact their bank to arrange for the acceptance

and information concerning any charges to use this program.

The advantages of accepting the Procurement Card for payment are as follows:

A. The Bank pays the Offeror in 48 to 72 hours versus 30 days.

B. The Offeror does not have to carry that transaction in their account receivable.

Instructions for Certification

(1) By signing and submitting this form, the prospective primary participant is providing the certification set out on

page 1 in accordance with these instructions.

(2) The inability of a person to provide the certification required below will not necessarily result in denial of

participation in this covered transaction. The prospective participant shall submit an explanation of why it cannot

provide the certification set out on this form. The certification or explanation will be considered in connection with

the department or agency's determination whether to enter into this transaction. However, failure of the prospective

primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this

transaction.

(3) The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when the

department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the prospective primary

participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal

Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

(4) The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency to which

this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its certification was

erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(5) The terms "covered transaction," "debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction,"

"participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as used

in this clause, have the meanings set out in the Definitions and Coverage sections of the rules implementing

Executive Order 12549, at 2 C.F.R. Parts 180 and 417. You may contact the department or agency to which this

proposal is being submitted for assistance in obtaining a copy of those regulations.

(6) The prospective primary participant agrees by submitting this form that, should the proposed covered transaction be

entered into, it shall not knowingly enter into any lower tier covered transaction with a person who is debarred,

suspended, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from participation in this covered transaction, unless

authorized by the department or agency entering into this transaction.

(7) The prospective primary participant further agrees by submitting this form that it will include the clause titled

"Certification Regarding Debarment, Suspension, Ineligibility and Voluntary Exclusion - Lower Tier Covered

Transactions," provided by the department or agency entering into this covered transaction, without modification, in

all lower tier covered transactions and in all solicitations for lower tier covered transactions.

(8) A participant in a covered transaction may rely upon a certification of a prospective participant in a lower tier

covered transaction that is not debarred, suspended, ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from the covered transaction,

unless it knows that the certification is erroneous. A participant may decide the method and frequency by which it

determines the eligibility of its principals. Each participant may, but is not required to, check the System for Award

Management (SAM) database.

(9) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to

render in good faith the certification required by this clause. The knowledge and information of a participant is not

required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(10) Except for transactions authorized under paragraph (6) of these instructions, if a participant in a covered transaction

knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible, or

voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal

Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or default.
