A preliminary design may be provided by the Government and the A-E may be required to work with another Government consultant to gain a full understanding of this preliminary design. The estimated construction cost of this project is over 10 million dollars. SELECTION CRITERIA: See Note 24 for general selection process. The selection criteria are listed below in descending order of importance (first by major criterion and then by each sub-criterion). Criteria ''a'' through ''e'' are primary. Criteria ''f'' through ''G'' are secondary and will only be used as tie-breakers between technically equal firms. A) Specialized experience and technical competence of the firm and consultants in: (1) Design of medical and dental outpatient facilities. (2) Life safety and fire protection design of medical facilities. (3) knowledge of the locality of the project including geologic features, climatic conditions, and local construction methods. (4) Use of automated design systems described above (M-CACES, CADD,SPECSINTACT, and ARMS). B) Qualified professional personnel in the following key disciplines: project management; medical facility planning, architecture, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, civil, and communication engineering; cost estimating; certified industrial hygienist; medical equipment planning and interior design. Registered professional are required in the following disciplines: architecture, mechanical, electrical, fire protection, structural, civil engineering, and land surveying. The evaluation will consider education, training, registration, overall and relevant experience, and longevity with the firm.
