§1961. Criteria for requests for proposals; consulting services
A. When the award of a contract for consulting services as provided in Chapter 17 of Subtitle III of this Title of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 has been set aside for minority-owned business participation, a state agency or educational institution shall evaluate each qualified proposal received, except that each proposal submitted by a minority-owned business shall be credited with such additional points as would amount to ten percent of the maximum number of points which would be awarded to any single proposal under the criteria as set forth in the requests for proposals.
B. The maximum additional points shall be awarded only when the certified minority-owned business is the prime contractor. For the purposes of this Section, a prime contractor shall retain and perform at least fifty-one percent of the dollar value of the work contracted. For otherwise qualified proposals when a certified minority-owned business participates to an extent less than fifty-one percent of the total dollar value of the work, the number of additional points to be credited shall be calculated by multiplying the maximum additional points as defined in Subsection A of this Section by the dollar value percent participation of the minority-owned business.
C. The state agency or educational institution actually making the award may reject all proposals if it is determined, based upon reasons provided in writing, that such action is clearly in the best interest of the state.
