Selection will be based on 20% for Organization (management plan, workload, and method of operation); 30% for Estimating Ability (estimating techniques and capabilities); 25% for Past Performance recorded (performances of similar projects); and 25% for Proposed Team (qualification and relevant experience as individual and as a team).
