Selection Criteria Maximum

Points

May 2025 Page 11 of 19

1. Professional experience of the firm in performing services of a similar nature and scope. DPR expects that the submitting firm have in-house professional expertise to perform the proposed discipline(s) for which the firm is submitting qualifications.

Example: If a project requires a prime discipline, such as, architecture, and supporting disciplines are required, such as structural engineering, the architectural firm may utilize its own subcontractors. The prime architectural firm will not be required to utilize DPR’s top ranked structural engineering firm.

Example: If a project only requires a specific discipline, such as, structural engineering, the DPR top ranked structural engineering firm will be notified for negotiations.

2. Quality and relevance of recently completed or ongoing work.

3. Reliability, continuity, and location of firm to the project management location.

4. Staffing capability and the ability to meet schedules. 20

5. Education and experience of key personnel to be assigned. 15

Total Points 100

Contractor shall respond in writing indicating how its firm’s experience fulfills the requirements of these criteria.

3.3 Evaluation and Selection Process

3.3.1 The DPR Selection Committee Members will review, evaluate and score each SOQ based on the above selection criteria. These factors shall be weighed according to the nature of the services to be provided and the needs of DPR.

3.3.2 All SOQs received will be evaluated to determine the extent to which they comply with this solicitation document requirements.

3.3.3 If an SOQ fails to meet a material solicitation document requirement, the SOQ may be rejected. A deviation is material to the extent that a response is not in substantial accord with solicitation document requirements. Immaterial deviations may cause an SOQ to be rejected.

3.3.4 During the evaluation process, DPR may require Contractor to answer questions with regard to the Contractor’s SOQ. Failure of Contractor to demonstrate that the claims made in its SOQ are in fact true may be sufficient cause for deeming an SOQ non-responsive.

The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Contractor advance written notice of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

Bidders/Offerors must notify the State in writing if their solution or service includes, or makes available, any GenAI technology, including GenAI from third parties or subcontractors. The State has developed a GenAI Disclosure & Factsheet (STD 1000) to be completed by the Bidder/Offeror. Failure to disclose GenAI to the State and submit the GenAI Disclosure & Factsheet will result in disqualification of the Bidder/Offeror and may void any resulting contract The State reserves its right to seek any and all relief it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure. Upon receipt of a Bidder/Offeror GenAI Disclosure & Factsheet, the State reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions into the final contract or reject bids/offers that present an unacceptable level of risk to the State.
