The main proposal evaluation criteria in the WCUP project

Evaluation criteria
1Essential characteristics of, and general approach to, managing the DB project (e.g., the understanding of the PDB method)
2Engineering approach (e.g., the team’s strategy to develop the project in terms of functionality and quality of the work)
3Approach to building architecture and urban design (e.g., how to stick to the UW architectural goal)
4Management and approach to design development (e.g., the means of interaction within the team and between the team and owner during the design)
5Management and completing approach to design and construction (e.g., how changes during the project design and construction will be managed)
6Management and approach to commissioning and training (e.g., how the team will train the UW staff to allow the smooth transition to operations)
7Ability to meet time and budget requirements
8Acceptance of contract, bonding, and insurance (as a pass/fail decision)
9Workload factor (e.g., impact of activities outside the project that may affect the team’s ability to carry out the work)
10Location of the team (as it may affect the communication capability during the work)
11Price factor, including the percentage rate for overhead and profit of the DB contractor
12MBWE (minority- and women-owned enterprise) outreach plan

Evaluation criteria used during the RFQ phase

Evaluation criteria
1Technical qualification (e.g., technical skills and experiences)
2Capability to perform the work (e.g., team’s organizational structure and management)
3Financial capacity (as a pass/fail decision)
4Relevant past performance (e.g., past experience of the similar projects)
5Design excellence on a limited budget and schedule (e.g., examples of achieving high levels of quality for projects respecting time and budget)
6Safety (e.g., the past safety records and accident prevention plans)
