(b) Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects at various stages of design while maintaining quality and meeting established completion schedules. (4) Past performance: Firms will be evaluated in terms of; (a) Cost estimating ability as demonstrated by comparison of environmental engineering design cost estimates with the low bid on similar size and type design projects (show costs, and the difference as a percentage). (b) Ability to prepare cost estimates in the computerized CES format, and specifications using SPECSINTACT. (c) Experience wit projects involving metric measure (give specific examples). (d) Demonstrated long term relationships and repeat business with Government and private customers. (e) Performance awards received.
