The wages and benefits of service employees (see FAR 22, 10) performing under these contracts must be at least equal to those determined by the Department of Labor under the Service Contract Act. 2. PROJECT INFORMATION: The project consists of engineering, design, preparation of plans and specifications, cost estimates, reports and possible development of Long Term Management Strategies (LTMS) for navigation project(s) within the jurisdiction of the Norfolk District. A-E services may include site investigations, topographic surveys, hydrographic surveys, development of LTMS for Dredged Material Placement Areas, preparation of plans and specifications for construction of minor projects and preparation of reports. 3. SELECTION CRITERIA: The selection criteria for this particular project are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria A-F are primary. Criteria G-I are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers among firms that are essentially technically equal. A. Specialized Experience and Technical Competence: (1) Demonstrated experience to handle a variety of civil engineering, hydrographic and topographic surveying work relating to maintenance and new work dredging of river and harbor projects. (2) Demonstrated experience in the application of the Dredged Material Research Program results in the design and implementation of dredging projects and long term disposal solutions. (3) Must show the capacity of performing extensive hydrographic and topographic surveys and producing charts and design documents meeting Corps of Engineers criteria. (4) Demonstrated experience and capability for ocean surveying with automated hydrographic surveying system. The ocean surveying may require systems with ranges of 30,000 to 40,000 feet for horizontal positioning. (5) Demonstrated experience and capability to sample dredge material both grab and core samples, from channels ranging in depth from 6 feet to 40 feet. These samples must be obtained with accurate horizontal locations and depths. Firms are required to identify and describe equipment to be used for automated hydrographic surveying and positioning and the vessel in which the survey and positioning equipment will be mounted. (6) Computer Resources - firms must indicate in Block (h) of the Standard Form 330 the following items: (a) accessibility to and familiarity with the Construction Criteria Base (CCB) system. This shall include as a minimum, the SPECSINTACT specification system and the MCASES estimating system: (b) demonstrated CADD capability with capacity to produce output files in.dxf and either.pdf or.cal file format. B. Professional Qualifications: (1) The design team must possess currently registered professional personnel(in-house) in the CIVIL ENGINEERING and SURVEYING disciplines and experienced personnel (in-house or by use of consultant) in ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING.

Past Performance on Department of Defense (DoD) and other contracts: (1) Architect-Engineer Contractor Appraisal Support System (ACASS) evaluations (superior performance evaluations on recent completed project is advantageous; (2) Letters of evaluation/recognition by other clients; (3) Cost control and estimating performance as a percentage deviation between the final estimate and low bid on similar TYPE and SIZE projects. (4)On-time delivery of design for DoD and similar projects. E. Knowledge of the Locality: Specific knowledge of certain local conditions or project site features, such as geological features, climatic conditions, local construction methods, or local lays and regulations. A general desire for a local firm must be translated into specific required knowledge of the locality. F. SB and SDB Participation: Include as a secondary criterion in all unrestricted synopses. State similar to the following: Extent of participation of small businesses (including women-owned), small disadvantaged businesses, historically black colleges and universities and minority institutions in the proposed contract team, measured as a percentage of the total estimated.
