Evaluation Criteria

The proposals will be reviewed by a selection committee. The committee may request additional information from vendors or request interviews with one or more vendors. Final evaluation and selection may be based on, but not limited to, any or all of the following:

• Statement of Qualifications

• Statement of Approach

• Proposed Fee Structure and Proposed Schedule of Deliverables

Statement of Qualifications (50% of evaluation):

The Statement of Qualifications should focus on the firm’s experience with similar projects, highlighting key personnel the firm expects to contribute to the project(s). Your response should provide the information listed below:

• Evidence of the capacity of your firm to accomplish the work with the time required for the completion of this project. Include your capacity to perform the required tasks in the required time frame.

• Indicate specific experience with:

o Architectural and engineering design for similar sized projects including residential and mixed-use sites.

o Projects that focus on serving families and individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD).

o Integration of residential architecture with surrounding community and neighborhood context. For context, the community has expressed the desire for having architecture that is reflective of the Old Town neighborhood in Lafayette; however, BCHA values design that is unique and reflects the tastes and needs of future occupants.

o Sustainable design approaches for infrastructure, buildings, streets, and open spaces.

o Entitlement process for complex residential and mixed-use developments.

o Successful architectural design as part of community outreach process that includes softer voices of community members that may otherwise be overlooked.

• A general overview of your firm’s capabilities on prior, similar size projects for public housing authorities and other affordable housing developers.

• For comparable projects, provide independent documentation of the quality of the work in terms of attractiveness and functionality and the degree to which the product met the owner’s program objectives. Documentation can include, but is not limited to, awards, professional peer recognition, and letters of reference from owners or other assessments of performance.

• Provide resumes for staff that will potentially be assigned to this project

Statement of Approach (30% of evaluation):

The Statement of Approach should describe how the firm will contribute to the project’s two main goals

– affordability and sustainability as outlined in the list below

• Describe your firm’s overall project management approach. Discuss strategies for managing complex projects and working with multidisciplinary teams, including minority-owned and women-owned businesses, and a robust public engagement process. Describe your firm’s anticipated assignment of project responsibility, and the level of capability of those staff.

• Describe how the team will work to implement BCHA’s goals for the site of a high quality, sustainable design while meeting budget mandates. Describe experience with geothermal energy housing, net-zero, solar, and any energy certification projects.

• Describe how the team will assist BCHA and our development consultant with design input, design, development phasing, infrastructure phasing, building design and all other parts of the scope to achieve a project that is consistent with BCHA’s goals and objectives.

Proposed Fee Structure and Proposed Schedule of Deliverables (20% of evaluation):

• Provide information on your preliminary fee structure based on the scope indicated above, including anticipated reimbursable costs.
