The prompt

Help me design the evaluation criteria and scoring plan for a public solicitation. Solicitation type: [RFP / RFQ / best value / qualifications-based selection] What we are buying: [SCOPE SUMMARY] Estimated value and contract length: [DETAILS] What matters most to us: [e.g. "technical approach", "past performance", "price", "local or small business participation if allowed"] Rules or policies that apply: [e.g. "state procurement code", "federal grant rules", "price must be at least 30% weight"] Evaluation committee: [number and roles of evaluators] Create: 1. Pass/fail responsiveness checks (required forms, licenses, insurance, deadlines) kept separate from scored criteria. 2. Scored criteria with weights totaling 100, a one-line rationale for each weight, and how price will be scored (formula shown). 3. A scoring guide for each criterion: what earns high, middle, and low scores, written as observable evidence in the proposal. 4. Evaluator instructions: conflict-of-interest and confidentiality attestations, score independently before consensus, document strengths and weaknesses for every score, no contact with bidders. 5. A scoring sheet layout: Criterion | Weight | Score | Weighted score | Strengths | Weaknesses. 6. Protest-proofing checks: criteria in the solicitation match criteria used, no unstated criteria, consistent treatment of all bidders. Rules: criteria must be tied to the scope and disclosed in the solicitation; do not invent legal requirements or preference programs; mark anything unconfirmed [CONFIRM WITH PROCUREMENT].
