Scoring Sheet for Reference.xlsx

This is a scoring sheet for a Request for Response issued by the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries & Wildlife (MassWildlife) for the 3,278-Acre Nature-Based Trio Salt Marsh Restoration Project (Project 3278). The project involves completing final design and permitting for 3,278 acres of salt marsh restoration within Great Marsh. The scoring sheet establishes evaluation criteria and point allocations for vendor proposals, with a total possible score of 110 points across six weighted evaluation categories.

The evaluation criteria emphasize vendor experience and qualifications across multiple technical areas. Vendors must demonstrate over five years of experience in salt marsh trio restoration permitting in Massachusetts (20 points), five years applying 4-tier salt marsh restoration methodology (20 points), and five years in trio assessment and design through final permitting (20 points). Additional requirements include over three years of experience with Massachusetts trio pre- and post-monitoring plans (20 points), three years creating GIS maps of historic agricultural infrastructure overlaid with nature-based restoration designs including ditch remediation, runnels, and nesting islands (10 points), and cost at or below MassWildlife's budget of $210,000 (10 points). Scoring guidance ranges from zero for non-compliance to maximum points for very good to excellent demonstration of qualifications. The procurement is designated for bids with an estimated annual value of $250,000 or less and requires SBPP participant status information to be provided during evaluation.
