Identified key personnel will be more highly evaluated if he or she participated in the firm's sample projects submitted in the SF 330 Section F. Use a separate Section E for each individual. Do not generalize professional registrations or certifications but provide specific details. Key personnel are: Geotechnical Engineer, Civil Engineer, Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (LPLS), Surveying / Engineering Technician (CAD), Cartographic Technician (CAD/GIS), Survey Party Chief, Photogrammetrist, and GIST Specialist. The Geotechnical and Civil Engineer must be a registered professional that is licensed to practice civil engineering with knowledge in soil mechanics and experience with geotechnical conditions. The Surveyor must be a Licensed Professional Land Surveyor (LPLS). For purposes of selection criteria, the use of the term "registered" or "licensed" means a Professional Engineer or Land Surveyor that is registered to practice in the particular discipline in a State, the District of Columbia, or an outlying area of the United States. Key personnel are as follows: (c) Past Performance of the firm for similar work Firms will be evaluated on past performance for quality of work products, compliance to project schedules, and effectiveness of management. Past performance evaluations will be retrieved through the Government's Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and managed through the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). PPIRS is the primary source of information on past performance. Performance evaluations for any significant subconsultants may also be considered. The evaluation will consider past performance from other sources. The relevancy of past performance information will be considered. The more relevant the information, the more weight it carries. NOTE: if no relevant past performance information is available to evaluate, or if the record is so sparse such that no meaningful rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned a rating of neutral and shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. SF330 requirement: Past performance data for example projects presented under Part I, Section F of the SF330 will be considered. Performance evaluations will be queried for all firms.
