AI Contract Overview
The State of Utah Division of Purchasing, in coordination with the Department of Public Safety, is soliciting proposals for banquet services and associated hotel accommodations for the Department of Public Safety’s 75th Awards Banquet. The solicitation, numbered KL26-34, is open for responses until July 7, 2026, and aims to award a single contract to the most qualified vendor based on a weighted evaluation criteria. Proposals must meet mandatory requirements to advance, and those that do will be assessed across five technical categories: Capacity and Flow (350 points), Cost Effectiveness (100 points), Room Availability (100 points), Facility Quality (150 points), and AV Capabilities (100 points), totaling 800 possible points. Only offerors scoring at least 560 points in the technical evaluation will proceed to the final stage. In the cost evaluation phase, up to 200 points are allocated based on price competitiveness, with the lowest-cost proposal receiving full points and others scoring proportionally lower based on the ratio of their price to the lowest price. The winning vendor must guarantee all pricing for the duration of the event, and the resulting contract will be issued as a purchase order. All services must be delivered at the designated performance location within Utah, with Kevin Lucus serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries.

Full Description
The purpose of this RFP is to enter into a contract to provide: Banquet Services along with hotel rooms
It is anticipated that this RFP will result in a single contract award to the responsive and responsible vendor with the highest score justified by the procurement code .
The methodology or formula that will be used to determine the number of contract awards is:
Stage 1: Initial Review In the initial phase of the evaluation process, the conducting procurement unit will review all proposals timely received. Non-responsive proposals not conforming to RFP requirements or unable to meet the mandatory minimum requirements will be eliminated from further consideration.
Stage 2: Technical Proposal Evaluation Responsive proposals will then be evaluated by an evaluation committee appointed by the conducting procurement unit against the proposal evaluation criteria noted in the Technical Criteria prerequisite of this RFP. Proposals will be evaluated against the evaluation criteria as follows:
Capacity and Flow: Points Possible – 350 Cost Effectiveness: Points Possible – 100 Room Availability: Points Possible – 100 Facility Quality: Points Possible – 150 AV Capabilities: Points Possible - 100
Offerors that achieve a minimum score threshold of 560 will proceed to the Final Stage: Cost Proposal Evaluation.
The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive the maximum points of 200. Points assigned to each Offeror’s cost proposal will be based on the lowest proposal price. The Offeror with the lowest total cost will receive 200 or 100% of the total cost points. All other Offerors will receive a portion of the total cost points based on what percentage higher their total cost is than the total lowest cost. The formula to compute the points is: Cost Points x (Lowest Proposed Price/Proposed Price).
Length of Contract: This RFP will result in a purchase order.
Vendor must guarantee its pricing for the completion of the event.
