As above, ODOT and other agencies may be contacted. C. Firm's Current Workload/ Availability of Personnel (Considered at statewide meeting) In instances when consultant's current workload may impact their ability to complete the work as proposed, the firm's current workload and availability of qualified personnel shall be considered. d. Consultant's Past Performance The consultants' past performance on similar projects, including subconsultant performance, shall be ranked and scored on a relative, differential scoring type basis, with the highest ranked consultant receiving a commensurately greater number of points. The selection team should consider ODOT CES performance ratings if available, and consult other ODOT Districts, ODOT Central Offices, and other agencies as appropriate. The use of CES ratings shall place emphasis on the specific type of services requested. The differential scoring should consider the complexity of the project and any subfactors identified in the project notification. e. Project Approach Evaluation of the firm's project approach shall consider: (1) The firm's technical approach and understanding of the project. (2) The firm's qualifications for the project including knowledge and experience concerning relevant ODOT standards, procedures and guidance documents. (3) Any innovative ideas. When considering this factor in rating firms, the type of project and the relevance of this factor to the project must be considered. For task order and construction inspection projects, and small uncomplicated design projects, the possibility for innovation may be very limited. Larger more complex projects will generally offer more opportunities for innovation. Consultants that identify truly innovative ideas should receive credit in the selection rating, but this factor can be disregarded when projects offer little opportunity for innovation. (4) The firm's project specific plan for ensuring increased quality, reduced project delivery time and reduced project costs. These factors will be relatively more important and relevant to a complex PDP project, and much less important for a construction inspection or task order contract. Please remember that Federal rules prohibit consideration of overhead rates, wage rates or any other cost data submitted voluntarily by the consultant. D. Negotiation of Consultant Agreements Agreements shall be negotiated in accordance with ODOT's Manual for Administration of Contracts for Professional Services, Volume 1 Consultant Contract Administration, Section 3.9. 13
