Selection Criteria and Submittal Requirements

The Selection of Architects and Engineers Act (formerly Brooks Architect-Engineer Act) (PL 92-582) and Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 36.6 selection procedures apply. The evaluation and selection will be based on the following criteria:

Criterion 1: Professional Qualifications

Criterion 2: Specialized Experience and Technical Competence

Criterion 3: Capacity

Criterion 4: Past Performance

Criterion 5: Location and Knowledge of the Locality

Criterion 6: Quality Control

Criterion 7: Volume of Work
