SF 330, Part II Submit one SF 330, Part II for each firm listed in Part I, Section C. VI. SELECTION CRITERIA NWO will evaluate firms' qualifications under the selection criteria set forth below. The selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance. Criteria A through E are primary factors and will be evaluated for all firms. The remaining criteria are secondary factors and will be used only to distinguish between technically equal firms. The firms that demonstrate the highest aggregate qualifications relevant to the primary selection criteria will be considered the most highly qualified to perform the required services described in this synopsis. A. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence NWO will evaluate firms' specialized experience and technical competence in the type of work required, including an assessment of the breadth and depth of firms' demonstrated specialized experience and technical competence in the following: a. Design of seismic retrofit for medical facilities or other similar vertical construction b. Modification & reconstruction of medical facilities including departmental relocation, construction phasing, and utilization of swing space c. New medical facility design for sites with challenging space constraints. d. Design of healthcare facilities using Department of Veteran's Affairs Technical Information Library (TIL) design criteria. Evaluation of Key Project Teaming Experience: The Government will evaluate the Section G matrix to assess the extent to which the proposed key personnel have worked together in the past on projects similar in size, scope, and complexity to the Ft Harrison, MT VAMC project. The Government values a team that has successfully worked together in the past on similar projects. *The evaluation of this criterion also will include an assessment of firms' concepts and the relative utility of alternative methods of furnishing the required services, which will be the subject of the discussions described in Section II above. B. Professional Qualifications NWO will evaluate firms' professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of the required services, including an evaluation of the qualification requirements of the Physical Security Specialist and Structural Blast Specialist as defined in VA Physical Security Design Manual, January 2015, paragraph 1.5 and its subparagraphs. C. Past Performance NWO will evaluate firms' past performance on the projects submitted in SF 330 Part I, Section F in terms of cost control, quality of work, performance schedules, and small business subcontracting, and regulatory compliance. D. Capacity NWO will evaluate firms' ability to meet workload requirements (including multiple concurrent task orders) primarily through a review of Part II of firms' SF 330s, but may consider any other relevant information bearing on capacity. ***Provide a 1-2 page narrative*** E. Knowledge of Locality NWO will evaluate firms' demonstrated knowledge of local conditions within NWO's area of responsibility. NWO will take into consideration projects that demonstrate similar conditions as those contained in this project. Examples of local condition include geology, unique or unusual local construction methods, site constraints, environmental condition, rural/remote locations, and seismology. F. Small Business and Small Disadvantage Business Participation NWO will evaluate small business participation as proposed in Part I, Section H. SF 330s demonstrating a greater commitment to small business participation will be evaluated more favorably under this criterion. Small Businesses submitting as the prime A-E will automatically be given a higher level of consideration under this secondary criterion. Among firms proposing as large (unrestricted) businesses, greater consideration will be given to those firms, which demonstrate a greater intended use of small businesses as a percentage of their overall estimated effort. The percentage for Small Business participation is 15% of the Total Contract Value. Separate from the Small Business Participation, should a large business be selected for award, it will be required to submit a Subcontracting Plan for approval by the Contracting Officer prior to award. USACE's subcontracting targeted percentages below for identified small business categories are considered reasonable and achievable for the performance period of the resultant IDCs: a. 45% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with all small business concerns (SB); b. 5% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with small business concerns owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged concerns (SDB). NOTE: b. is a subset of a. (Count firm in all applicable areas); c. 5% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with women owned small business concerns (WOSB). NOTE: c. is a subset of a. Also, the WOSB may meet the definition of a SDB. If so, c. will also be a subset of b. (Count firm in all applicable areas); d. 25% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with veteran-owned small business concerns (VOSB) NOTE: d. is a subset of a.; e. 20% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with service-disabled veteran-owned small business concerns (SDVOSB) NOTE: e. is a subset of a. and d.; f. 3% of planned subcontracting dollars will be placed with historically underutilized business zones (HUBZone). NOTE: A HUBZone firm may also be SDB, WOSB, and/or SDVOSB. (Count firm in al...
