SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance. Criteria a through f are primary. Criterion g is secondary and will only be used to break ties between firms that are essentially technically equal. a. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence: Submittals must demonstrate the specialized experience and technical competence of the prime firm, joint venture partners, consultants, subcontractors and/or free-lance associates within the last five years in the types of projects specifically indicated above in paragraph 3, SERVICES REQUIRED. Please note that Block F of SF330 is meant for only 10 example PROJECTS that best demonstrate the firms qualifications rather than example CONTRACTS. A project is defined as work performed pursuant to one specific task order of an indefinite delivery contract (IDC) or work performed pursuant to a site-specific contract within a single installation or facility. An IDC type contract or the performance of work pursuant to multiple task orders of an IDC at multiple sites does not represent a project within this definition. b. Qualified Personnel: Submittals must identify the qualifications of personnel in the key disciplines. Disciplines of primary importance are civil engineering, environmental engineering, and project management. Other disciplines that will be considered are quality control, GIS management/GIS operation, geology, hydrogeology, biology, cost estimating and environmental construction inspection. The evaluation will consider the education, training, certification, overall and relevant experience and longevity with the firm for all key personnel. The firm's staff must be capable of certifying that all work is in compliance with U.S. and German laws and regulations. The firm must demonstrate experience with, and the ability to perform, Auftragsbautengrundstze (ABG-2) coordination with German authorities. c. Management Plan: Submittals must include in Blocks D and H of the SF 330 a Management Plan that addresses, as a minimum, the firms approach to project management, organization and lines of supervision and communication, and coordination of disciplines and, if applicable, coordination with subcontractors or consultants and joint venture partners. The submittal must indicate which firm is responsible for each item of work, the interdisciplinary and interoffice communication and supervision process, and the procedure to ensure high quality products and services within cost limitations and in strict compliance with performance schedules. d. Past Performance: Past performance on DoD and other contracts with respect to cost control, quality of work, and compliance with performance schedules, as determined from PPIRS and other sources. e. Capacity: Submittals must demonstrate the capability to perform at least three large task orders simultaneously within prescribed schedules. A large task order is defined as up to $1,000,000 in A-E fees. The evaluation will consider the experience of the firm, and any joint venture partners or consultants, in similar projects and the availability of an adequate number of personnel in key disciplines to complete the task orders within normal schedules. The evaluation will consider the key persons identified in Blocks D, E and G of the SF330, as well as other available staff identified in Block H and Part II. f. Knowledge of Locality: Firms that demonstrate familiarity within the USAG Grafenwoehr area of responsibility (see para 2), will receive primary consideration for this factor. Familiarity with the Europe District's area of operation will receive secondary consideration. Submitting firms must have experience in Germany. g.

Part II must show only the office or offices that are intended to have a key role in the contract. Blocks E and G of Part I must include only individuals proposed to perform the anticipated work, including all partners or consultants, in the appropriate columns, and should not include persons that will not actually do the work. Block E must clearly show if individuals are full-time employees of the firm, consultants or free-lance. Please note that Block F of SF330 is meant for only 10 example PROJECTS that best demonstrate the firms qualifications rather than example CONTRACTS.

Include the firm's point-of-contact, E-mail address, telephone number and facsimile number in the submittal. 6. SPECIAL NOTE: Firms sending submittals from outside Germany via air courier or postal service should state the content value to be no cost or zero cost.
