Explanation of Solution

The procurement department of H hotels is evaluating tenders for its newest hotel resort. Four tenders have been received and tender is being evaluated based on quality and price. Quality is being quantized on a 100 point scale where 50 points is for method statement, 10 points for environmental approach and 60 points for quality and seniority of the company’s project team.

Bid prices are converted based on a 100 point score where lowest price is awarded 100 points and 1 point is penalized for each full $100,000 that price exceeds the lowest price in the group of bids.

Details of bids are as follows:

1.) OR LLC bids $4 million for construction cost; $200,000 for setup costs; $300,000 for overhead and profit; design fees of 5% of construction costs and project risk fee of 1% of construction costs.

So total price for bid would be:

$4,000,000+$200,000+$300,000+(5% of $4,000,000)+(1% of $4,000,000)=$4,740,000

2.) WC bids $3.8 million for construction cost; $250,000 for setup costs; $200,000 for overhead and profit; design fees of 4% of construction costs and project risk fee of 1.5% of construction costs.

So total price for bid would be:

$3,800,000+$250,000+$200,000+(4% of $3,800,000)+(1.5% of $3,800,000)=$4,459,000

3.) UC bids $3.6 million for construction cost; $300,000 for setup costs; $150,000 for overhead and profit; design fees of 7% of construction costs and project risk fee of 1% of construction costs.

So total price for bid would be:

$3,600,000+$300,000+$150,000+(7% of $3,600,000)+(1% of $3,600,000)=$4,338,000

4.) DC bids $4.2 million for construction cost; $200,000 for setup costs; $200,000 for overhead and profit; design fees of 4% of construction costs and project risk fee of 2% of construction costs.

So total price for bid would be:

$4,200,000+$200,000+$200,000+(4% of $4,200,000)+(2% of $4,200,000)=$4,852,000

Lowest offer price is from UCcosting $4,338,000 . So price score of UC would be 100 .

    CompanyBid priceDifference in bid price with lowest bid price Price scoreQuality score = score for method statement + score for environmenta approach + score for quality and seniority of project management team
    OR LLC$4,470,000$132,000(1001)=99(45+9+35)=89
    WC$4,459,000$121,000(1001)=99(45+10+40)=95
    UC$4,338,000$0100(42+8+32)=82
    DC$4,852,000$514,000(1005)=95(49+9+39)=97

Now price and quality are given equal weightage of 50% each.

Thus weighted score of tender would be

    CompanyPrice scoreQuality score = score for method statement + score for environmenta approach + score for quality and seniority of project management team Weighted average score
    OR LLC(1001)=99(45+9+35)=89(0.50×99+0.50×89)=94
    WC(1001)=99(45+10+40)=95(0.50×99+0.50×95)=97
    UC100(42+8+32)=82(0.50×100+0.50×82)=91
    DC(1005)=95(49+9+39)=97(0.50×95+0.50×97)=96

Under linear averaging method score of each tender will be result of sum of individual score in each category multiplied by corresponding category weight.

WCshould be awarded the contract under average weighted linear cost method as it has highest average weighted score.

PS.53 Brother I.D. Ricks is a faculty member at BYU-Idaho whose grandchildren live in Oklahoma and California. He and his wife would like to visit their grandchildren at least once a year in these states. They currently have one vehicle with well over 100,000 miles on it, so they want to buy a newer vehicle with fewer miles and that gets better gas mileage. They are considering two options: (1) a new subcompact car that would cost $18,750 to purchase or (2) a used sedan that would cost $12,750.They anticipate that the new subcompact would get 37 miles per gallon (combined highway and around town driving) while the sedan would get 26 miles per gallon. Based on their road tripping history they expect to drive 13,000 miles per year. For the purposes of their analysis they are assuming that gas will cost $2.93 per gallon.Question: How many miles would the Ricks need to drive before the cost of these two options would be the same?
