EVALUATION AND AWARD :
a. PRICING
The submitted pricing of each qualified Bid Submission will be evaluated
in accordance with the price evaluation method which is generally the
lowest overall price or stipulated lump sum.
In the event that a vendor's pricing appears to be abnormally low in
relation to the Deliverables, Manitoba may require the Vendor to provide
a detailed explanation of the pricing information to account for the low
level of price and confirm that all requirements in respect of the
Deliverables have been taken into account. If the Vendor is unable to
satisfactorily account for the abnormally low pricing, Manitoba may
reject the Submission. Manitoba may also reject any Submission that
contains unbalanced pricing. Pricing may be considered unbalanced where
nominal or significantly understated prices are proposed for some
elements of the Deliverables and inflated prices are proposed for other
elements of the Deliverables. Unbalanced pricing includes, but is not
limited to, #front-loaded# pricing which contains inflated pricing for
Deliverables to be provided or completed at the beginning of the
contract, offset by understated pricing for Deliverables to be provided
or completed later in the contract.
b. SELECTION
Compliant Vendors will be ranked based on the price evaluation. Subject
to the process rules contained in the Terms and Conditions of the
Solicitation Process, the top-ranked Vendor will be invited to enter
into the Contract in accordance with the terms and condition of this
solicitation.
In the event of a tie, the selected Vendor will be determined by way of
coin toss. The selected Vendor will be notified in writing and will be
expected to satisfy any applicable conditions of this Solicitation,
including the pre-conditions of award listed below, and enter into the

to do so may result in the disqualification of the Vendor and the
