2. Selection Criteria: Selection of the firm will be based on the following criteria, listed in descending order of importance. Criteria A through F will be evaluated for all offerors.

a. Professional qualifications necessary for satisfactory performance of required services.

The Government shall evaluate firms’ professional qualifications and education, including professional engineer registrations, multi-discipline professional engineer registrations, training specific to disciplines within civil and architectural engineering relating to the scope of work. Firms are not required to have an office in the state where the facility is located.

However, having engineers licensed in this state either by reciprocity arrangements or direct licensing, or the capability to acquire such licenses within a reasonable amount of time for timely contract performance, is a requirement. The SF 330 should document the entire team’s qualifications in this area including members of Joint Ventures (JVs), partners, subcontractors, etc. Qualifications in the SF 330 should indicate the states where licenses are held.

b. Specialized experience and technical competence in architecture and engineering services as they relate to the scope of work. Direct experience in the area of CCTV Design & Upgrade will be given more consideration than the management or oversight of other contractors (e.g., oversight of potentially responsible parties (PRPs) or subcontractors). Additional consideration will be given for experience and qualifications by the Prime or JV firms as the Prime/JV. The basis of the evaluation will be the information in Section F of the SF 330.

c. Capacity to accomplish the work in the required time. The Government will evaluate firms’ capacity to accomplish the work within the required time. Specifically, the Government will evaluate the number of staff, the staffing mix including distribution of staff both within the firm and within pre-arranged JV, partnering and subcontract arrangements, the number, experience and duties of management personnel, size and scope of completed projects for the past five (5) years prior to the issuance date of this synopsis/solicitation. The basis of the evaluation will be the information in Section H and Part II of the SF 330.

d. Past performance on IA and other contracts with respect to quality of work, management/business relations, and compliance with performance schedules. The Contractor Performance Assessment Reports System (CPARS) is the primary source of information on past performance. CPARS will be queried by the Government for all firms submitting an SF

330. No submittals are required by the offerors for this criterion. If deemed appropriate by the evaluation board, performance evaluations for any significant team subcontractors may also be considered. The board may seek information on past performance from other sources but is not required to seek other information on the past performance of a firm if none is available from CPARS. When evaluating past performances, the board will determine the relevancy of performance evaluations, and will place greater consideration on recent and relevant performance evaluations.

e. Location in the general geographical area of the project and knowledge of the locality:

Work under this contract will be located in: (1) Fort Totten Agency (FTA) Detention Center, Fort Totten, ND and (2) Standing Rock Agency (SRA) Youth Detention Center, Fort Yates, ND. The basis of the evaluation will be the information in Sections F and H of the SF 330.

f. Experience working with IA and Indian Tribes and on Indian reservations.

For the five (5) projects submitted in Section F of the SF 330, a "project" is defined as work performed at one site or at a single installation. An IDIQ contract is not a project. A project may contain multiple task orders or contracts if they are for multiple phases of a project at the same site or installation. Each project in Section F of the SF 330 shall include the contract number, task order number, cost of work performed by firm, and owner's contact information. Project descriptions shall clearly state extent of work performed by the team, percent of work completed, dates when work was performed, and date of contract completion. Project A/E work should be 100% complete.

Any pages that exceed the page limitations noted will not be evaluated, nor considered.

4. Interviews and Negotiations:

a. Interviews: As required by acquisition regulations, interviews for the purpose of discussing prospective firms’ qualifications will be conducted. Interviews will be held with those offerors deemed highly qualified for award. Interviews will be conducted by telephone or virtual meeting.
