Table 1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation

Factor 2: Experience

Submission Requirements Offerors shall provide project information on relevant projects best demonstrating the breadth and depth of an Offeror’s and/or their Subcontractor’s relevant experience Designing, manufacturing, and installing freight and passenger elevators in existing shafts. Any subcontractor proposed must be identified and experience described in the submitted project information. Any subcontractors proposed for Factor 2 must be identified in Factor 1.

At least one, but no more than three, relevant projects are required for each Factor 2 subfactor. Only projects completed within seven (7) years from this RFP, or those currently active meeting the minimum completion specified in each subfactor, will be considered. If the proposal includes more than three projects for each sub-factor, only the first three projects, in the order they appear in the proposal, will be evaluated.

The projects submitted for each sub-factor do not have to be the same. The combined experience demonstrated by the submitted projects must cover the general relevancy requirements and the specific relevancy requirements of each subfactor. If the combined experience of the submitted projects does not meet the relevancy requirements listed for each sub-factor, the proposal will be rated unacceptable for that sub-factor.

The general relevancy requirements and definitions are as follows:

Submitted projects should involve the design, manufacture, and installation of new hydraulic freight and electric traction passenger elevators. All elevator definitions are per ASME A17.1.

The freight elevator experience submitted should have a load rating of 10,000 pounds or greater in an existing elevator concrete shaft.

The passenger elevator experience submitted should service five floors or higher in an existing elevator concrete shaft.

To be considered acceptable, the Offeror’s experience must be acceptable for both electric and hydraulic elevator design, manufacturing, and Installation.

The elevator for each project submitted should be custom designed or engineered to the specific installation.

Experience involving elevators that are considered “off-the-shelf” or “pre-engineered” items is considered not relevant. Submitted projects must involve installing hydraulic and electric traction elevators at dams or mass concrete structures, particularly at hydroelectric dams. For each project submitted, included the following information:

1. Project Title and Location

2. Dollar Value of Project

3. Construction Period (month/year start/end)

4. Customer point of contact (POC)

3. Include a detailed description of the elevator design, manufacturing, and installation experience involved with the project. Any engineering drawings and sketches must be accompanied by narrative explaining the drawings and sketches. If engineering drawings or sketches are submitted without narrative explaining the drawings and their significance, that project will not be evaluated.

4. Additional relevant project narrative requirements are listed in each sub-factor.

If submitted projects lack any of the required information listed above, they will be considered unresponsive and will not be evaluated. The above format is not required; however, not organizing submitted information in this order could result in relevant experience not considered.

SUBFACTOR 1: Passenger Elevators Submit relevant project information demonstrating experience designing, manufacturing, and installing a five-floor (minimum) electric traction passenger elevator in an existing shaft.
