The work will also include preparation of work plans, site safety plans, sampling plans, quality assurance plans, and a summary report with recommendations and estimated costs for additional investigations and cleanups. The contract requires that the selected firm have on-line access to E-mail via the Internet for routine exchange of correspondence. The A&E must demonstrate his and each key consultant's qualifications with respect to the published evaluation factors for all services described above with particular emphasis on work in the continental United States AOR. Evaluation factors are weighted with (1) through (5) being of equal importance; factors (6), (7) and (8) are of lesser importance. Specific evaluation factors include: (1) Specialized Experience. Firms and sub-consultants (if proposed) will be evaluated in terms of their specific project experience and specialized experience that was substantially completed within the past 5 years, and list team members who performed this work. Explain both firm and team experience in performing multiple, simultaneous projects involving field investigations, surveys, evaluations and preparing studies/analysis/workplans/cost estimates/specifications for environmental projects and other support services related to the major categories of work described above in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, particularly including experience with federal, state, and local requirements, and DoD/Navy policy and guidance. Specialized experience in locations in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic United States (in particular Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Maryland, District of Columbia, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut) will be afforded significantly more weight than experience in other locations. (2) Professional Qualifications. Firms will be evaluated in terms of the competence and experience of the technical team proposed to accomplish this work with emphasis on the interaction with host nation representatives and regulatory agencies and familiarity with applicable regulations, guidance, and DoD/Navy requirements relating specifically to the performance of the major categories of work described above. This includes (a) active professional registration,(b) past experience (with present and other firms) and roles of proposed team members on the projects addressed in evaluation factor (1) above, and (c) the capability to provide qualified backup staffing for key personnel to ensure continuity of services and the ability to surge to meet unexpected project demands. Include firm?s ability to obtain security clearances for its key and field personnel. (3) Past Performance. Firms will be evaluated in terms of past performance with this Command, other DoD and Government agencies, and private industry in terms of demonstrating long term business relationships and repeat business with Government and private customers (with emphasis on projects addressed in Evaluation Factor 1). Firms should include any letters of commendations or awards. (4) Scheduling and Capacity. Firms will be evaluated according to their ability to perform work to schedules and capacity to accomplish up to 10 taskings simultaneously. Indicate the firm?s present workload and projected workload with a plan and schedule to accomplish the work, including 24 hour response services in urgent cases. (5) Quality Control Program - Firms will be evaluated on the acceptability of their internal quality control program used to assess technical accuracy in plans, studies and reports, to assure overall coordination between engineering and technical disciplines, their means of ensuring quality services from their subcontractors, ability of laboratories, whether internal or subcontracted, to meet all applicable federal, state, and local as well as Navy/DoD standards; and to ensure technical accuracy and discipline coordination of plans, specifications and reports. (6) Firm?s location in the general geographical area of the contract and knowledge of localities (provided that application of this criterion leaves an appropriate number of qualified firms, given the nature and size of the contract). Firms will be evaluated on their proximity and familiarity with respect to the general geographical area of the contract, with emphasis on the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic AOR. (7) Volume of Work. Firms will be evaluated in terms of work previously awarded to the firm by DOD with the objective of affecting an equitable distribution of DOD A&E contracts among qualified A&E firms, including small and small disadvantaged business firms and firms that have not had prior DOD contracts.
