SELECTION CRITERIA: The Corps of Engineers New England District will use both primary and secondary selection criteria. The secondary selection criteria will only be used as tie-breakers among firms that are essentially technically equal. (1) Primary Selection Criteria: The Primary Selection Criteria (a-f below) are listed in descending order of importance. a. The firm must have on its staff or provide through a consultant, professional engineers with demonstrated expertise in all those disciplines listed above. The firm must also have staff or provide through a consultant, personnel with professional registration in all six New England states: ME, NH, VT, MA, CT, RI. Firms not demonstrating these requirements will be disqualifie d from further consideration. b. The firm must have the capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. c. The firm must possess a good record of past performance on contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with perfo rmance schedules. d. Firms must demonstrate previous experience in preparing construction cost estimates with Micro Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis methodology. The firm shall also demonstrate experience in th e development of construction contingencies based upon the knowledge of Risk Analysis and level of design detail. e. Firms should have capability to provide all deliverables in MicroStation V7 DGN format. The Government will only accept this format, witho ut conversion or reformatting, in the target CADD software format and on the target platform specified herein. The target platform is a PC/Workstation with an Intel compatible central processing unit and a Windows 2000 operating system. Advanced software application files used for civil design and drawings shall be delivered in formats compatible with INROADS(Bentley Civil Engineering). All delivered CADD files shall be in compliance with A/E/C CADD Standard Release 2.0. f. Firms must demonstrate knowle dge of preparing specifications for construction contracts using a personal computer based software package. All specifications for Corps of Engineers (COE) contracts will be prepared using Guide Specifications and SPECSINTACT. (2) Secondary Selection Criteria: a. SB and SDB Part icipation. The extent of participation of SB, SDB, historically black colleges and universities (HBCU), and minority institutions (MI) measured as a percentage of the total anticipated contract effort, regardless of whether the SB, SDB, HBCU or MI is a pri me contractor, subcontractor, or joint venture partner; the greater the participation, the greater the consideration b. Geographic Proximity. Proximity is simply the physical location of a firm in relation to the location of a project, and has very little to do with the technical ability of a firm to perform the project. Hence, proximity should normally only be used as a selection criterion for small or routine projects or ID contracts in support of a specific installation(s). It will have very little bearing on this sel ection. c. Volume of DoD Contract Awards. DoD A-E contract awards can be obtained from ACASS, and verified and updated during the interviews with the most highly qualified firms. 4. SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Interested firms having the capabilities to perform this work must submit four copies of SF 255 (11/92 edition), and four copies of SF 254 (11/92 edition) to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New England District, ATTN: A-E Uni t, 696 Virginia Road, Concord MA 01742-2751.
