In addition to examining the criteria in FAR 9.104, the Contracting Officer will also examine whether the low bidder can meet the solicitation requirements by demonstrating office space structural renovation;

milling and paving; and cemetery experience. In order to be found responsible, the low bidder will be required to demonstrate the following:

OFFICE SPACE STRUCTURAL RENOVATION: A minimum of the completion of at least three (3) building renovations within the last five (5) years comprising of the renovation of existing office space structures (at minimum, 5,000sq. ft.) including: 1) modification OR reconfiguration of existing floor plans;
