Selection criteria 1 through 9 are listed below in descending order of importance. Specific selection criteria include: 1. Specialized Experience: Firm's demonstrated recent experience in design of medical and/or dental facilities of similar size, complexity and dollar value. List a maximum of five (5) relevant projects completed in the past ten (10) years which best describe experience in design of medical and/or dental facilities discussed above. 2. Professional Qualifications and Technical Competence of the Individual Design Team Members: Limit submission to not more than ten (10) key personnel. For each key personnel, explain the scope of their responsibilities in the proposed organization. Explain how the firm's organizational construct is most appropriate considering effectiveness and cost factors. a. Active U.S. professional registration or equivalent qualifications. Note: During contract execution, U.S. registration will be required for all engineers who approve designs. b. Past experience in design of medical and/or dental facilities of similar size, complexity and dollar value. Provide up to a maximum of five (5) relevant projects for each key person. 3. Past Performance: Firms will be evaluated on past performance with respect to work quality, compliance with schedules, cost control, and cooperation and responsiveness. Firms should include any letters of commendation or awards. Firms will also be evaluated on performance evaluations obtained from the Architect-Engineer Contract Administration Support System (ACASS). 4. Available capacity and ability to perform the work in the required timeframe of approximately 9 months from date of award. 5. Sustainable Design: Firms will be evaluated in terms of their knowledge and demonstrated experience in applying sustainability concepts through an integrated design approach and designing in accordance with the U.S. Green Building Council, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System or equivalent. Identify examples indicating design team (including consultants) experience and concepts employed, LEED certification points anticipated and final LEED points awarded, and LEED certified professionals proposed for this contract. 6. Quality Control Program: Firms will be evaluated on the acceptability of their internal quality control program used to ensure technical accuracy and discipline coordination of plans and specifications. List responsible key personnel. 7. Extent to which firms identify and commit to small business (SB), small disadvantaged business (SDB), women-owned small business (WOSB), historically underutilized business zone small business (HUBZoneSB), historically black college or university and minority institution (HBCU/MI) and veteran-owned small business (VOSB), and service disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB) in performance of this contract, whether as a joint venture, teaming arrangement, or subcontractor. Identify each subconsultant by name, discipline and size status and also identify, in terms of dollar values and percentage of total proposed price, the extent of work you will perform as the prime contractor. NAVFAC's FY09 subcontracting targets in terms of percentages of total subcontract effort are: SB - 65%; SDB - 16.18%; WOSB - 14.53%; HUBZone SB - 1.42%; VOSB - 3%; and SDVOSB - 3%. An Offeror's proposed goals will also be evaluated against the total value of its proposal. Firms not intending to subcontract and/or not meeting the respective SB goals should provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance. In order to receive proposal evaluation benefit as HUBZone SB either as prime or subconsultant, proposed HUBZoneSBs must be certified by the Small Business Administration. Prime contractors may determine whether a prospective subconsultant is a certified HUBZone by accessing the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at www.ccr.gov. 8. Firm's location in the general geographical area of the project; provided, that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the contract. 9. Volume of Work: Firms will be evaluated in terms of work previously awarded to the firm by the Department of Defense (DOD) within the past 12 months with the objective of effecting an equitable distribution of DOD A&E contracts among qualified A&E firms, including small and small disadvantaged business firms and firms that have not had prior DOD contracts. For selection criteria (1) and (2), firms and staff with only medical or only dental facility design professional qualifications or specialized recent experience/technical competence will be considered less favorably than firms and staff with both medical and dental facility design qualifications and experience/technical competence. In addition, the following medical and dental facility projects will be considered more favorably: DoD medical and dental facilities designed in accordance with Medical Military Facilities design criteria (UFC 4-510-01) or other military medical and dental facilities; and medical and dental facilities designed for tropical environments similar to Hawaii, Guam and the Pacific Ocean areas. The intent is to ensure quality of design and construction and thereby extend the economic life of shore facilities in an environment considered aggressive because of constant sun, rain, salt, and humidity; frequent high winds, wind-blown sand and salt spray; tsunamis, floods, earthquakes, lightning storms, and other detrimental environmental aspects. Tropical environments are considered to occur in the tropical region, which is considered to cover a broad band of the earth's surface bordering the equator from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer. Include the following items in Section H, Block 30 of the SF 330: (1) a summary of qualifications in narrative discussion addressing each of the above selection evaluation criteria, (2) an organization chart of the proposed team showing the names and roles of all key personnel listed in Section E with the associated firm as listed in Section C, (3) your DUNS, CAGE, and TIN numbers, and (4) evidence that your firm is permitted by law to practice the professions of architecture or engineering, i.e., State registration number.
