This section describes the tasks required for completion of a fair, comprehensive, and impartial slate-selection process.

1. Evaluations. The evaluation for this project will be conducted using a Slate/Selection (one board) procedure and will be held in Jacksonville, FL. The Slate-Selection Board Chairman

(SSBC) will make arrangements for the evaluation upon completion of the screening of the

SF330 by Acquisition Division. Each SF330 submitted will be evaluated individually and independently.

2. Familiarization. All members of the architect-engineer evaluation board will be composed of members who, collectively, have experience in different areas of architecture and engineering and Government and related acquisitions matters. Other non-voting members may be included to provide advice on specific matters. Members will be appointed from among highly qualified professional employees from NAVFAC SE. The members are required to be familiar with the contents of the synopsis before evaluation begins. The Chairman will bring the evaluation team members and advisory staff together prior to the evaluation of proposals to discuss the synopsis, the rating methodology, and each member’s responsibilities.

3. Communication. All members of the evaluation organization are to communicate via e-mail and/or verbally whenever possible and prudent to the Government. All e-mail communication among the evaluation organization is to be protected as sensitive to source selection.

4. Receipt and Preparation of SF330. The Contract Specialist will screen all SF330s to ensure that each is properly completed, executed and submitted in accordance with the synopsis requirements. After this initial screening, the Contract Specialist will forward the SF330s to the

SSBC for evaluation.

5. Slate Evaluation. Each member of the evaluation organization will independently evaluate each SF330 submitted to identify compliance with the synopsis, strengths and weaknesses, potential clarifications and possible deficiencies. The evaluation will be documented on Slating

Rationale worksheets and conducted in accordance with the guidelines established in this synopsis.

6. Narrative assessments. The evaluators’ narrative assessment of each SF330 is the cornerstone of the evaluation process. The narratives form the basis for the award decision.

Narrative comments must be clear, detailed and self-explanatory. Narratives will be prepared in ink or computer generated. Evaluators must indicate, at a minimum, (1) where the SF330 meets or fails to meet minimum requirements; (2) strengths/advantages and the benefit to the government should the firm receive award; (3) weaknesses/disadvantages/deficiencies and the impact each would have on the capability to perform.

7. The rating given under each of the evaluation criterion reflects the degree to which the proposed approach meets or does not meet the requirement through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, deficiencies, and risks of an offer. The methodology used to evaluate the

SF330 and related risk will be based on a Met or Not Met determination for each evaluation criterion. An overall rating will not be given.

8. Consensus. Upon completion of individual evaluations, the evaluation team and Chairman shall meet and establish a final rating for each firm on each evaluation factor. Ratings will not be averaged, but will represent the consensus opinion of the evaluators. The Chairman will record these consensus results and document the basis for each. The Chairman will present the consensus results to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and legal counsel for review and/or concurrence.

9. Discussions/ Interviews: After PCO review of the consensus results, up to nine (9) of the most highly qualified firms will be short listed and invited to participate face-to-face discussions/interviews.

The firms are given an opportunity to provide their presentation followed by a question and answer period led by the SSBC. The questions may be provided to the firms for preparation; however additional questions may arise based on the information presented during the interview. Any information received during the interview process may be used as justification for the ranking of the firms based on the published selection criteria.

Interviewed firms must be prepared to provide a listing of present business commitments with their required completion schedules; financial and credit references (include name and telephone numbers of officers at their financial institutions) and performance references other than NAVFAC Southeast (include three (3) or more with names and telephone numbers of the contract administrators).

11. Selection: Following the interviews, the Evaluation Board shall reach a consensus on the order of preference of the short listed firms and provide the Selection Board Report recommending to the selection authority, in order of preference, at least three firms that are considered to be the most highly qualified. The Selection Board Report will include clear justification for the basis of selecting the most highly qualified firm and will be based solely on the evaluation criteria identified publicized synopsis.
