In order to ensure the broad distribution of contracting opportunities, the SCC has modified its computerized random selection process that is utilized to short-list firms for Category 2 design procurements. Under the previous computerized selection process, the frequency with which a firm was short-listed was not taken into consideration. To achieve greater equity in contracting opportunities, the selection process has been modified as follows: Firms that were previously short-listed through computerized random selections will not be short-listed again, through that process, until all pre-qualified firms meeting the specific criteria assigned to a particular procurement are short-listed, thereby assuring that all firms will be given the opportunity to compete in Category 2 design procurements.
Technical Proposals will be evaluated by the Selection Committee based upon the following criteria:
- Team Experience
- Experience of Key Team Members
- Proposed Staffing
- Approach to the School Facilities Project
- Approach to Control of Project Schedule
- Approach to Control of Project Budget
