a. Price shall not be used as a factor in the evaluation, ranking, and selection phase. All price or cost related items which include, but are not limited to, cost proposals, direct salaries/wage rates, indirect cost rates, and other direct costs are prohibited from being used as evaluation criteria. b. In -State or local preference shall not be used as a factor in the evaluation, ranking, and selection phase. State licensing laws are not preempted by this provision and professional licensure within a jurisdiction may be established as a requirement for the minimum qualifications and competence of a consultant to perform the solicited services. Refer to Section 5.2.C.1.n. below for additional guidance concerning the use of local presence as a nominal evaluation factor where appropriate. B. Consultant Selection Processes The LPA may use any one of five consultant selection processes permitted by 23 CFR 172 and ORC 153.65 —153.71, the use of which depends on the complexity of the project, estimated total fee, the number of available qualified consultants and whether an emergency exists. The Programmatic and Technical Proposal selection processes are competitive qualifications based selection processes governed by 23 CFR 172.7(a)(1) and ORC 153.65 -153.71. These selection processes require solicitation, evaluation, ranking, selection, and negotiation in accordance with the qualifications -based selection procurement procedures for architectural and engineering services codified under 40 U.S.C. 1101-1104, commonly referred to as the Brooks Act or Selection of Architects and Engineers. The Small Purchase selection process is a non-competitive selection process governed by 23 CFR 172.7(a)(2) and ORC 153.71(A). Agreements with total fees less than $50,000 are eligible for this selection process. The Emergency and Special Expertise selection processes are non-competitive selection processes governed by 23 CFR 172.7(a)(3) and ORC 153.71. 1. Programmatic Selection Process The Programmatic Selection Process is a one step selection process intended to shorten the selection/authorization process for non-complex projects while reducing paperwork and administrative costs for both consultants and the State. In this process consultants are selected based on standard letter of interest content, and a standard Selection Rating Form. The "Programmatic" selection process should be used for most projects that do not meet the criteria for the more elaborate Technical Proposal Selection Process. 2. Technical Proposal Selection Process The technical proposal selection process is a two-step process intended for use on larger, more complex projects for which a more informed selection decision can be made based on additional information received through the submittal of a (more elaborate) Technical Proposal, and/or presentations/interviews. The Technical Proposal Selection Process is appropriate to use under the following circumstances: a. Complex projects involving multiple PDP steps and multiple disciplines including planning, environmental and design services. 7
