For each project submitted for evaluation, please annotate whether any of the following were included. All of the following need not be in one project scope, however, in order to be evaluated as having met the criteria for relevancy, the SF330 must demonstrate that the firm has experience in each of the following: o Execution of DD 1391 or similar project programming documents o Functional Analysis Concept Development (FACD)/design charrettes o Design-Build (DB) Request for Proposal solicitation documents o Design-Bid-Build (DBB) design contract documents More favorable consideration may be given for the following, which are not listed in any order of preference. 1. New construction projects may be given more favorable consideration than repair/renovation projects. 2. DoD projects may be given more favorable consideration. NOTES: 1. A subconsultant’s experience will not be given the same level of consideration as that of either a prime firm or a joint venture member/partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and a subconsultant. 2. Specialized experience of the Prime A-E firm as a subcontractor will not be given the same level of consideration as either the Prime A-E or the Prime Joint Venture (JV)/Limited Liability Company (LLC)/Limited Partnership (LP) or JV/LLC/LP partner(s). Submission requirements: Provide a maximum of seven (7) recent relevant projects. Sufficient information to determine the date of design completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered. Projects with design and engineering services that are on-going will not be considered. If more than the maximum number of projects are submitted, the Government will only evaluate the first seven projects in the order submitted and disregard any other projects thereafter. All projects provided in the SF330 must be completed by the actual office/branch/regional office proposed to manage and perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement may be excluded from consideration in the evaluation.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a JV/LLC/LP involving different partners, specifically indicate the percentage of the work performed as a subcontractor or by each JV/LLC/LP partner, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by each JV/LLC/LP partner rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by each entity, the project may be eliminated from further consideration. NOTE: If the firm is a JV/LLC/LP, projects performed by the JV/LLC/LP should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the JV/LLC/LP, projects shall be submitted for each JV/LLC/LP partner, minimum of two projects for any JV/LLC/LP partner, maximum of seven projects per SF330.
