MR: This is a new FRN. It was split from FRN 2520800. The new FRN contains the following product(s)/service(s): PRI and DID services. <><><><><> DR: Documentation provided during the Selective Review shows the vendor selection documentation provided was created after the contract award date. Your vendor evaluation sheet used to score each of the proposals was dated on March 12, 2013 after you signed the contract with AT&T on March 8, 2013. Although you stated that the date on the bid assessment is the date the school district and the consultant talked on the phone and confirmed the selection of AT&T because of the lower cost, you were unable to demonstrate that the evaluation was in fact done prior to the contract was signed on March 8, 2013 and not on March 12, 2013 as indicated by the documentation. The vendor evaluation should be completed and documented prior to the vendor selection and/or determining the winning bidder to award the contract. Because you were unable to demonstrate that the bid evaluation happened prior to the award of the bid, FRN 2712167 will be denied.
