Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024

PURPOSE: This rule provides for the payment of stipends, if elected by the commission, and the criteria used in determining the amount of stipend.

(1) The commission will pay a reasonable stipend to unsuccessful proposers who have submitted responsive proposals.

(2) On federal-aid projects stipends are eligible for federal-aid participation. Proposers will cooperate in providing such records and complying with such process in order for the commission to obtain federal participation.

(3) Stipend amount determination may consider:

(A) Project scope;

(B) Substantial opportunity for innovation;

(C) The cost of submitting a proposal;

(D) Encouragement of competition;

(E) Compensate unsuccessful proposers for a portion of their costs (usually one-third to one-half (1/3 to 1/2) of the estimated proposal development cost); and

(F) Ensure that smaller companies are not put at a competitive disadvantage.

(4) The commission will retain the right to use ideas from both successful and unsuccessful proposers, if the stipend is accepted. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will describe the process for distributing the stipend to qualifying proposers and transfer of ownership of ideas in intellectual property of both the successful and qualifying unsuccessful proposers.
