The selection criteria are listed in descending order of importance. Specific selection criteria include: 1. Specialized Experience 2. Professional Qualifications 3. Past Performance 4. Program Management and Capacity 5. Quality Control 6. Firm Location 7. Sustainable Design 8. Commitment to Small Business 9. Volume of Work Criterion 1 “ Specialized Experience (SF330, Part I, Section F): Basis of Evaluation: Firms will be evaluated on specialized experience in performance of recent relevant projects. Recent relevant projects are defined as follows: 1. Recent relevant projects include design of new construction and/or repair/renovation that encompasses each of the following features: Bachelor Enlisted Quarters (BEQs), consolidated clubs (officer/enlisted), fire stations, fitness centers, dining facilities, auditoriums/theaters, exchanges/retail stores, Child Development Centers (CDCs), operations buildings, headquarters buildings, administration buildings, aircraft hangars, maintenance shops, warehouses, laboratories, training facilities, and/or armories in a tropical environment. For this acquisition, tropical is defined as being located between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer, excluding arid and high elevation areas. Tropical regions are hot and humid and require special attention in the design off shore-based facilities subject to highly corrosive environments. See UFC 3-440-05N, Change 2 dated 28 November 2006. Each project shall be $20 million or more in estimated construction costs, if the construction contract has not yet been awarded or if the construction contract has been awarded, the awarded construction value per project/contract. The design shall have been completed within the past ten (10) years. A completed design may be exclusive of Post Construction Award Services (PCAS). 2. Each feature listed above, e.g., fire station, consolidated clubs, fitness centers, etc., do not have to be in a single project scope. For example, you may have a single project that included bachelor enlisted quarters and a fitness center, however, each facility, bachelor enlisted quarters and fitness center shall each be at least $20M or more in estimated construction costs/awarded construction costs. 3. For each project submitted for evaluation, please annotate whether any of the following were included. All of the following need not be in one project scope, however, in order to be evaluated as having met the criteria for relevancy, the SF330 must demonstrate that the firm has experience in each of the following: Execution of DD 1391 or similar project programming document FACD/design charrettes DB RFP solicitation documents for Navy projects DBB/Final Design contract documents More favorable consideration may be given for the following, which are not listed in any order of preference. 1. Submission of a variety of features in the types of facility projects submitted for evaluation may be more favorably considered. For example, a firm that submits projects demonstrating experience with eight of the above noted features, may be more favorably considered than a firm that submits projects demonstrating experience with five of the above noted features. Projects that contain multiple features in one project that meets or exceeds the dollar value specified above may be more favorably considered. 2. New construction projects may be given more favorable consideration than repair/renovation projects. 3. Navy projects within the State of Hawaii may be given more favorable consideration. NOTES: 1. A subconsultant ™s experience will not be given the same level of consideration as that of either a prime firm or a joint venture member/partner because there is no direct legal relationship between the Government and a subconsultant. 2. Specialized experience of the Prime A-E firm as a subcontractor will not be given the same level of consideration as either the Prime A-E or the Prime Joint Venture (JV)/Limited Liability Company (LLC)/Limited Partnership (LP) or JV/LLC/LP partner(s), Submission requirements: Provide a maximum of ten (10) recent relevant projects. Sufficient information to determine the date of design completion of the project must be included in the project description or the project will not be considered.

For projects performed as a subcontractor or a JV/LLC/LP involving different partners, specifically indicate the percentage of the work performed as a subcontractor or by each JV/LLC/LP partner, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities performed as a subcontractor or by each JV/LLC/LP partner rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by each entity, the project may be eliminated from further consideration. NOTE: If the firm is a JV/LLC/LP, projects performed by the JV/LLC/LP should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the JV/LLC/LP, projects shall be submitted for each JV/LLC/LP partner, minimum of two projects for any JV/LLC/LP partner, maximum of 10 projects per SF330.
