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). Factors a-e are primary criteria. Factors f-h are secondary criteria; and will only be used as "tie-breakers" among firms that are essentially technically equal. Primary Criteria a. Specialized experience and technical competence in: (1) Design and commissioning of large, and extra-large, Command and Control (C2) administrative facilities with SCIFs. Also, multiple security-zone command center and operations center design; to include classified, secure communications systems, and classified documents and materials work and meeting environments. Firms with design experience and experience in packaging D-B RFP solicitations for projects of this type and size will be rated higher than those with design experience alone. (2) Design and commissioning of Barracks with occupancies of 150 or more military personnel. Firms with design experience and experience in packaging D-B RFP solicitations for projects of this type and size will be rated higher than those with design experience alone. (3) Sustainable design to LEED Silver (or higher); using an integrated design approach and emphasizing environmental stewardship, with experience in energy and water conservation and efficiency; use of recovered and recycled materials; waste reduction; reduction or elimination of toxic and harmful substances in facilities construction and operation; efficiency in resource and materials utilization; development of healthy, safe and productive work environments; and employing USGBC LEED 3.0 standards, evaluation and certification methods. (4) Highly efficient facility energy design using energy modeling software; to include: application and incorporation of 'smart building' technologies and 'Net Zero' strategies to minimize facility's energy footprint and lifecycle energy consumption. (5) Producing quality designs based on evaluation of a firm's design quality management plan (DQMP). The evaluation will consider the management approach, coordination of disciplines and subcontractors, quality control procedures, and prior experience of the prime firm and any significant subcontractors on similar projects. b.
