It is the Government's intent to award based on initial offers without discussions. Evaluation factors may consist of the following: Past Performance (Prime Construction Contactor and Lead Design Firm) on projects similar in nature; Key Personnel; Small business Participation Plan. The aforementioned evaluation factors may not be all inclusive.
