What this is

This page shows how City of Tucker · Right of Way Maintenance Services will be scored. It's built from tucker-ga-rfp-2026-008-row-maintenance.pdf, the actual RFP document, not a summary of it. The RFP says proposals are scored out of 100 points, and the items below add up to 100. Below that, you'll find 3 things that earn points, 12 rules that can get a proposal thrown out before scoring even starts, and 3 other things the RFP says about scoring that aren't tied to a specific scored item.

How to read this page

  • This page has three parts: How you'll be scored (the points table), What gets you thrown out (rules that can disqualify a proposal no matter how good it is), and Other things the RFP says about scoring (RFP sentences about scoring that aren't tied to a specific scored item). Use the tabs below to jump between them.

  • not in source means the RFP is silent on that point. We never guess or fill it in for you.
  • The blank, striped boxes are for your team. We don't know who at your firm owns what, so those are left empty on purpose for someone to fill in.
  • Every quote on this page is copied from the RFP and linked to its page and line. The headings and labels are ours. We don't judge your bid, rank your chances, or suggest a strategy.
