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 the

Contracting Division. Each SF330 submitted will be evaluated individually and independently.

2. Discussions/ Interviews: After Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) review of the consensus results, a maximum of three (3) of the most highly qualified Firms will be short listed and invited to participate in face-to-face discussions/interviews. Interviews are conducted for the purpose of obtaining any additional information that will help the board in ranking the Firms in order of preference and distinguish between the most highly qualified Firms. Interviews provide the board an opportunity to gain a better understanding of the Firm’s qualifications, to clarify questions regarding the SF330 and to assess their understanding of the work. 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 for the ranking of the Firms based on the published selection criteria.

During the interviews, the Firms are invited to present their approach and discuss the concepts and relative utility of alternative methods of furnishing the required services.

3. 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, one (1) Firm that is 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 in the publicized synopsis. When only one board is used, the Slate/Selection report will include documentation supporting the decision to include and exclude Firms from the slate. The final selection decision shall be made by the agency head or a designated selection authority.

After Selection: After the Slate / Selection Report has been approved, the PCO may release information identifying only the AE Firm selected as the most highly qualified with which rate negotiations will be conducted. If a fair and reasonable rate structure cannot be negotiated with the selected Firm, the next most highly qualified Firm may be contacted and requested to provide a rate proposal. At that time the name of the new Firm may be released.

SELECTION CRITERIA: Firms responding to this synopsis will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firms to perform the required services in accordance with the published selection criteria. Failure to comply with instructions, or provide complete information may affect the firm’s evaluation or disqualify the firm from further consideration.
