SELECTION CRITERIA

A-E firms responding to this synopsis must demonstrate the team's qualifications with respect to the published selection criteria to perform the required services. Selection Criteria 1-3 are considered most important and are equal among themselves; criteria 4-6 are of slightly lesser importance and are equal among themselves; criterion 7 is of lesser importance still, and criterion 8 is of least importance and will be used as a tiebreaker among technically equal firms. SF330s will be evaluated to determine the most highly qualified firm based on criteria responses. Failure to provide requested data or to comply with the instructions in this notice could result in a firm being considered less qualified or eliminated from consideration. The Selection of Architects and Engineers Statute (40 U.S.C. chapter 11) and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36.6 selection procedures apply. Specific selection criteria include the following:

Criterion 1-Specialized Experience (SF 330, Part I, Section F):

Firms will be evaluated on the specialized experience and technical competence of the proposed team in the following:
Relevant experience managing and completing multiple, simultaneous environmental projects involving field investigation and preparing studies/analysis/work plans/ remediation oversight for environmental restoration projects and other technical support services.
Experience relating to compliance with environmental laws and regulations for CERCLA (both NPL and non NPL), RCRA, Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC), National Contingency Plan (NCP), MRP and interfacing with regulatory agencies (federal/state/local/international). Specialized experience should focus on the following geographic areas: Alaska, California, Maryland, North Carolina, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Puerto Rico, the District of Columbia, and, to a lesser extent, Wyoming, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Europe.
Experience with, and knowledge of, permits, construction material, and practices in the contracted areas.
Innovative cleanup strategies and technologies, and successful attainment of regulatory closure for CERCLA or RCRA sites.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

Firms shall provide a maximum of ten (10) projects completed, or substantially completed within the five years prior to the SF 330 due date, that best illustrate specialized experience of the proposed team in the areas set forth above. A substantially completed project would include completed field work and up through draft final documents but not necessarily include the final deliverable. In the case of an IDIQ submitted as a project, the majority of the task orders must be completed in order to consider that project as substantially complete. Special consideration may be given to projects demonstrating Navy and Marine Corps experience.

All projects provided in the SF330 must have been performed by the office/branch/ regional office/individual team member actually proposed to manage and/or perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be excluded from evaluation. To enable verification, firms should include the DUNS number along with each firm name in the SF330 Part I, Section F, item 25-"Firms from Section C Involved in this Project," block 1; include a contract number, task order number, or project identification number in block 21; include an e-mail address and phone number for the point of contact in block 23(c); and include, in the project description, the contract period of performance, award contract value, current contract value, and a summary of the work performed that demonstrates relevance to specialized experience as outlined above. If the firm is a joint venture, submit relevant project experience for the joint venture (if shared experience is available); otherwise, project experience may be submitted for any joint venture partner(s). Joint venture firms are still limited to a maximum of ten projects. If a project was performed by a joint venture, and all joint venture partners on that project are not on the team proposed for this contract, the firm/team should specifically address the work performed by the joint venture partner(s) offering/teaming on this contract. Likewise, if the firm/team member worked as a subcontractor on a project, the description should clearly describe the work actually performed by the firm/team member and that entity's roles and responsibilities on the project, rather than the work performed on the project as a whole. For ID/IQ projects, if the firm/team member only worked on certain task orders, the description should clearly describe the work actually performed by the firm/team member on the specific task orders and that entity's roles and responsibilities on the task orders. Projects are not required from each member of a joint venture; however, joint ventures offering relevant experience from all members may be considered more favorably. If the project description does not clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on this contract, the project could be eliminated from consideration.

Projects not completed or substantially completed will be excluded from evaluation consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract, a standalone contract, or an IDIQ contract is considered a project. Examples of work submitted that do not meet the definition of a project will not be evaluated.

Failure to provide all requested data, accessible points of contact or valid phone numbers could result in a firm being considered less qualified or eliminated from consideration.

All information for Criterion 1 should be submitted in Part I, Section F of the SF330. The Government will not consider information submitted in addition to Part I, Section F in evaluating Criterion 1.

Criterion 2-Professional Qualifications (SF330 Part I, Sections E, G and H):
