LEAD DESIGNER PORTFOLIO (25%): Submit a portfolio representative of
the lead designer's ability to provide design excellence. Address his or her
participation in each project. If a single designer, submit a portfolio of up to three
projects completed in the last ten years (maximum of five pages per project).
If the lead designer is a team, submit graphics and a description of up to two
projects from each lead designer or lead design discipline. The narrative shall
address the design philosophy with salient features for each project and discuss
how the client's program, functional, image, mission, economic, schedule,
and operations and maintenance objectives were satisfied by the overall
design/planning solution. Include tangible evidence such as certificates, awards,
peer recognition, etc., demonstrating design excellence. Where there is
duplication with criteria (1) Past Performance on Design, the lead designer
shall address his or her participation in the project.
Stage II
The shortlisted lead designers and associated A/E firms will be notified and asked to
submit more detailed information indicating each member of the design team, including
all outside consultants. Sufficient time will be provided for the lead designer and
associated A/E design firm to establish its team. The firms will be required to complete
Standard Form 330 Architect Engineer Qualifications Parts I and II that reflect the entire
design team. The government will establish the detailed evaluation criteria and the date
that these submittals are due and provide the selection criteria for the interviews along
with the Stage I shortlist announcement. INSERT NOTICE OF SMALL BUSINESS
NETWORKING SESSION IF PLANNED.
The board will interview each team. Candidates should be prepared to discuss all
aspects of the criteria indicated above and evaluation criteria as established for Stage
II, and demonstrate their ability to fulfill all project requirements. Emphasis will be
placed on the lead designer-A/E team's understanding of the unique aspects of the
project, their design philosophy, project management process, and quality assurance
plan. END THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ONE OF TWO CHOICES:
INSERT IF THERE IS NO CHARRETTE, USE THIS TEXT: Responses to
the evaluation criteria and interview questions will be used to rank the Lead Designer-
A/E Teams.
OR
IF THERE IS A CHARRETTE, USE THIS TEXT: Lead designers and associated
A/E firms selected to participate in Stage II will be further evaluated by an anonymous,
one-day design charrette judged by a jury of independent design professionals.
The purpose of the design charrette is to further evaluate the lead designer-A/E teams
qualifications for the project. The "vision" developed in the charrette will weigh
substantially in the lead designer-A/E team ranking. The submitted charrette concepts
become the property of the government. The charrette proposals will be used in
conjunction with Stage II interview rankings in the final evaluation of lead designer-
A/E teams.
