Engineering_Architect Scoring Sheet.pdf

This is an Engineering/Architectural Ratings Criterion scoring sheet used by the State of Georgia for evaluating engineering and architectural firms responding to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Engineering Services solicitation. The evaluation form is designed to assess qualified engineering firms capable of providing preliminary engineering reports (PER), final design, and construction administration services for federally assisted projects utilizing CDBG funding. The scoring sheet does not specify project quantities, response dates, due dates, site visits, or bidder meetings, as it functions as an internal evaluation tool rather than a public notice document.

The scoring sheet uses a point-based evaluation system with six selection criteria, each rated on a scale of 0 to 2 points (Poor, Good, or Excellent): ability to provide necessary disciplines, firm experience with the type of construction, key personnel experience, quality of reference information, prior CDBG project experience, and price competitiveness. Additional evaluation factors include whether the firm can meet PER/PAR deadlines and whether the firm carries Errors and Omissions insurance. The maximum total points available is 12. The evaluation process requires reviewers to document the firm name, address, contact information, comments on selection rationale, reviewer name, and review date. Funding for this initiative comes from the Community Development Block Grant program, and responding firms are encouraged to be Section 3 Business Concerns as defined under the HUD Act of 1968.
