38 J.32 - Relevant Corporate Experience

When completing the Yes / No responses to Project Classifications, is it more important to select projects that cover a greater number of classifications or demonstrate complexity within a particular classification.

IAW Section L.6.3, Factor 1 Scope "The Offeror must demonstrate scope for Relevant Corporate Experience by completing SIR attachment J.32 - Factor 1 and must be submitted WITHOUT any reference to pricing information. The Offeror must provide no more than three (3) completed contracts/projects, within five (5) years of the issuance of this SIR. The Offeror must provide three (3) different types of design and/or installation projects from the following six (6) classifications; of which a minimum of one (1) submissions must be for an installation project."

39 J.32 - Relevant Corporate Experience

When completing Factor 1 Project Classification you are only allowed to base it on 3 completed contracts but if the single contracts have multiple classifications and two of the projects include the same Project Classification (ie EG installations), do you show both projects in the single Project Classification No. 1 form.

IAW Section L.6.3, Factor 1 Scope "The Offeror must demonstrate scope for Relevant Corporate Experience by completing SIR attachment J.32 - Factor 1 and must be submitted WITHOUT any reference to pricing information.

When completing attachment J.32, Factor 1 –Scope, only one project is entered for each Project Classification Number. If a single contract contains multiple classifications, the contract may be listed once in Block 3A, and selected for each applicable Project Classification Number. In situations where several contracts or projects qualify for the same classification, only one representative project may be entered. The selected project must meet the project classification description.

40 J.32 - Relevant Corporate Experience Do we indicate experience in the regions of providing services in ALL projects during the duration of the contract, OR just for the (3) project previously selected?

For Factor 2 - Georgraphic Support Experience, the offeror is to indicate all regions or locations in which the offeror has experience providing services similar to those described in the SOW, regardless of whether those services were performed on the three projects submitted under Factor 1. Factor 2 - Geographic support is not limited to, nor dependent on, the projects selected for Factor 1-Scope; instead, it reflects the full breadth of the offeror’s experience performing comparable services across all applicable regions or locations.
