Evaluation Form.pdf

This is an Engineering/Architectural Evaluation Form used by a state or local jurisdiction to assess architectural and engineering firms for contract opportunities. The form is designed to standardize the evaluation process across multiple selection criteria, ensuring consistent and objective assessment of firm qualifications.

The evaluation focuses on six primary selection factors, each scored on a point scale of 0-1 for poor performance, 2-3 for good performance, and 4-5 for excellent performance. These factors include the firm's geographic location and accessibility, track record with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) projects completed within the last five years, prior experience with successfully completed similar projects, quality of response to requested submittal information, previous experience with the community, and price competitiveness. The maximum possible points from these six factors total 30 points.

In addition to the primary selection criteria, the form includes four mandatory or bonus qualification assessments. The firm must demonstrate the ability to meet PER/PAR deadlines and must carry Errors and Omissions insurance, both evaluated as yes or no responses. Two additional categories provide bonus points: firms designated as Section 3 businesses and firms certified as Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Women Business Enterprise (WBE) each receive one bonus point if applicable. The total score combines points from the six primary selection factors plus any applicable bonus points, providing a comprehensive ranking mechanism for architectural and engineering firm selection.
