A-E SELECTION PROCESS: Responsive firms submitting SF-330 s in response to this announcement not later than the closing date and time specified herein and in accordance with submission requirements, will be considered for initial selection evaluation. The selection process will be made using a two-phase process. Phase I consists of the initial evaluation of the SF-330 s and determination of the highest rated firms. A minimum of three (3) of the highest rated firms will then be short listed and invited to continue with Phase II of the process. All firms not short listed will be notified at this time.

A site visit will be authorized for the highest rated firm during the negotiation process. Award selection will be made based on the results of the Phase II responses and successful negotiation of rates for the project, not the SF-330 qualifications from Phase I. If negotiations are not successful with the highest rated firm, they will continue with the next highest rated firm, and so on until award can be made. Please note that during the evaluation of Phase II, the prior evaluation of the SF 330s will not be taken into consideration as they are separate evaluations. 5.
