Criterion 1 Submission Requirements:

Provide up to a minimum of three (3) and maximum of five (5) projects completed
(project completion to be defined as receiving final design acceptance from
client) within the past seven (7) years immediately preceding the date of
issuance of this notice that best demonstrate specialized experience of the
proposed team in the areas outlined above. Sufficient information to determine
the date of completion of the project must be included in the project
description or the project will not be considered. If more than the maximum
number of projects is submitted, the Government will only evaluate projects up
to the maximum number authorized in the order submitted.

All projects provided in the SF 330 must be completed by the actual
office/branch/regional office/ individual team member proposed to manage and
perform work under this contract. Projects not meeting this requirement will be
excluded from consideration in the evaluation. To enable verification, firms
should include the UEI and CAGE along with each firm name in the SF 330 Part I,
Section F, block 25, “Firm Name.” Include a contract 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). In block 24, 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. For projects performed as a
Sub-contractor or a joint venture involving different partners, specifically
indicate the value of the work performed as a subcontractor or by those firms
proposed for this contract, and identify the specific roles and responsibilities
performed as a Sub-contractor or by those firms on the project rather than the
work performed on the project as a whole. If the project description does not
clearly delineate the work performed by the entity/entities offering/teaming on
this contract, the firm will be eliminated from award consideration.

NOTE: If the firm is a joint venture, projects performed by the joint venture
should be submitted; however, if there are no projects performed by the joint
venture, projects must be submitted for each joint venture partner, not to
exceed a total of five (5) projects for both partners combined. Each partner
within a JV may not be responsible for more than three (3) projects within the
past performance submission. Firms failing to provide projects from all joint
venture partners will be considered to have not met the requirements of the
criterion.

Projects shall be submitted on the SF 330 at Part I, Section F and shall be
completed projects. Projects not completed will be excluded from evaluation
consideration. For submittal purposes, a task order on an IDIQ contract is
considered a project, as is a stand‐alone contract award. Do not submit an IDIQ
base contract as an example project. Instead, list relevant task orders or
stand‐ alone contract awards that fit within the definition above. The
Government will not evaluate information provided for an IDIQ contract. Examples
of project work submitted that do not conform to this requirement will not be
evaluated.

All information for Criterion 1 shall be submitted in the SF 330, Part I,
Section F. The Government will NOT consider information submitted in addition to
Part I, Section F in the evaluation of Criterion 1.

consideration which illustrates the firm’s maximum personnel capabilities.  If
certain Key Personnel roles cannot be fulfilled, please indicate those role
vacancies individually with a course of action for fulfillment.

Criteria 2 Submission Requirements:

SF 330, Part I, Section E – Provide resumes for all proposed Key Personnel that
illustrate experience in the type of work proposed under this contract. Resumes
are limited to three (3) single-sided pages and should indicate: professional

disciplines to include document/licensure numbers; cite recent (within the past
10 years) project‐specific experience in work relevant to the services required
under this contract; and indicate proposed role in this contract. Indicate
participation of Key Personnel in example projects in the SF 330, Part I,
Section G.  The firm must hold a current and active license in the state of
Indiana as well as currently employ at least two (2) state of Indiana registered
A-E professionals.

Offeror will not be permitted to simultaneously fulfill multiple roles with an
individual on the same project.  The individuals identified as Key Personnel on
the SF330 may not have multiple duties or be “dual-hatted.” Offerors shall
provide individual resumes in SF330 Section E for each of the individuals listed
above.

Criterion 3—Past Performance (SF 330, Part I, Section H):

Firms will be evaluated on past performance with Government agencies and private
industry in terms of work quality, compliance with schedules, cost control, and
stakeholder/customer satisfaction.

Evaluating past performance and experience will include information provided in
the Contract

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) / ARCHITECT-ENGINEER CONTRACT
ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT SYSTEM (ACASS) or a completed Past Performance
Questionnaire (PPQ) for Criterion 1 projects and may include customer inquiries,
Government databases, and other information available to the Government
including contacts with points of contact in other criteria. Failure to provide
requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers could
result in a firm being considered less qualified.

Criteria 3 Submission Requirements:

SUBMIT A COMPLETED CPARS/ACASS/PPQ EVALUATION FOR EACH PROJECT UNDER CRITERION
1.

Firms may provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective
actions taken on projects submitted under Criterion 1—Specialized Experience.
Firms may also address any adverse past performance issues. Information for each
past performance submission shall not exceed five single‐sided pages in total.

Offeror shall submit one (1) Past Performance Questionnaire provided as an
attachment to this synopsis to each of its customer POCs identified in Criterion
1 for referenced projects with no CPARS/ACASS available. In order to expedite
the assessment process, the Offeror may complete the “Contract Information”
portion of the Past Performance Questionnaire for the convenience of the
customer POC.  A PPQ submission is not required for Criterion 1 projects
accompanied by a CPARS/ACASS.  However, a PPQ submission for every Criterion 1
project, including those with a CPARS/ACASS evaluation on record, would assist
the Government in evaluation accuracy and is encouraged.

The Offeror shall not, however, complete any other section of the Past
Performance Questionnaire. The questionnaire shall be provided to the customer
POC with instructions to complete and submit it directly to the Contracting
Officer and/or the point of contact identified in this announcement on or before
the proposal due date. Electronic submission via encrypted e-mail by the
customer is required.

Under no circumstances shall the questionnaires be returned to the Offerors
after completion. Any information provided by the Offeror’s references is
subject to verification/validation by the Government during the evaluation
process. The Government may make contact and follow up with the listed
references identified on the Contractor Past Performance Data documents/data.
The Offeror may provide information on problems encountered on the identified
contracts as well as the Offeror’s corrective actions. The Government reserves
the right to solicit feedback beyond what is identified in the questionnaire.

Awards, letters of commendation, certificates of appreciation, etc., shall not
be submitted and will not be considered in the evaluation.

Criterion 4—Quality Control Program (SF 330, Part I, Section H):
