If more than five projects are submitted, the Government will evaluate the first five projects listed in Part I, Section F and disregard any other project information. A project is defined as either a stand-alone contract or a single task order in an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract and will only evaluate individual task order information. Section F, Block 24, shall include (1) contract number or project identification number; (2) contract period of performance; (3) contract award amount; (4) estimated construction cost; (5) general description of project; and (6) a detailed description of specialized design and engineering services. Section F, Block 24, shall also include a discussion of the firm that performed the project as pertinent to demonstrating the firm’s specialized experience. If a project was performed by a joint-venture (JV), and all JV partners are not on the proposed team, specifically address the work performed on the project submitted by the proposed JV partner(s). If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the proposed JV partner(s), the project will be evaluated less favorably. Similarly, if the proposed JV partner(s) worked as a subcontractor on a project, specifically address the work performed by the proposed JV partner(s) on the project submitted. If a project does not provide requested data, accessible point-of-contact, or valid phone number, that project may be evaluated less favorably. If the A-E firm is a JV, information should be submitted for projects performed by the JV. If the JV does not have shared experience, projects may be submitted for each JV partner. Failure to submit experience for all JV partners will be evaluated less favorably. A sub-contractors or sub-consultants specialized experience will not be given the same level of consideration as either the prime contractor or the JV partner(s).
