Manager, Contractor Quality Control Manager, Project Manager, Safety and Health Manager, Quality Control

Geophysicist. Only one resume per position will be accepted. Each resume shall support all qualifications described in RFP Attachment 1 – MATOC PWS, Part 5. These five (5) key personnel will be the only personnel considered for this factor and their five resumes will be the only resumes required in proposals. Resumes of key personnel from a selected awardee of a MATOC may be requested by the KO prior to award and would include any or all of the key personnel identified in Part 5 of RFP Attachment 1. Similarly, resumes of key personnel of selected awardee for TO

0001 may be requested by the KO prior to award of the TO. Resumes would be checked and used to approve key personnel for the MATOC and/or TO. TO key personnel may be different than those used for the MATOC including those submitted for evaluation as part of Factor 3 (such that the project manager whose resume is submitted for

Factor 3 does not have to be the project manager proposed for TO 0001.

The resumes should clearly display proposed job title, education, professional registrations including the states in which the individuals are registered, special qualifications and experience record showing title of position, specific duties, responsibilities, and assignments and the dates these were held within the last five (5) years. In addition, the

Offeror shall provide resumes that demonstrate ability to perform Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) projects within the scope of the MATOC PWS.
