In instances when consultant's current workload may impact their ability to <br />complete the work as proposed, the firm's current workload and availability <br />of qualified personnel shall be considered. <br />Consultant's Past Performance <br />The consultants' past performance on similar projects, including <br />subconsultant performance, shall be ranked and scored on a relative, <br />differential scoring type basis, with the highest ranked consultant receiving <br />a commensurately greater number of points. The selection team should <br />consider ODOT CES performance ratings if available, and consult other <br />ODOT Districts, ODOT Central Offices, and other agencies as <br />appropriate. The use of CES ratings shall place emphasis on the specific <br />type of services requested. <br />The differential scoring should consider the complexity of the project and <br />any subfactors identified in the project notification. <br />e. Project Approach <br />Evaluation of the firm's project approach shall consider: <br />(1) The firm's technical approach and understanding of the project. <br />(2) The firm's qualifications for the project including knowledge and <br />experience concerning relevant ODOT standards, procedures <br />and guidance documents. <br />(3) Any innovative ideas. <br />When considering this factor in rating firms, the type of project and <br />the relevance of this factor to the project must be considered. For <br />task order and construction inspection projects, and small <br />uncomplicated design projects, the possibility for innovation may <br />be very limited. Larger more complex projects will generally offer <br />more opportunities for innovation. Consultants that identify truly <br />innovative ideas should receive credit in the selection rating, but <br />this factor can be disregarded when projects offer little opportunity <br />for innovation. <br />(4) The firm's project specific plan for ensuring increased quality, <br />reduced project delivery time and reduced project costs. <br />These factors will be relatively more important and relevant to a <br />complex PDP project, and much less important for a construction <br />inspection or task order contract. Please remember that Federal <br />rules prohibit consideration of overhead rates, wage rates or any <br />other cost data submitted voluntarily by the consultant. <br />D. Negotiation of Consultant Agreements <br />Agreements shall be negotiated in accordance with ODOT's Manual for Administration of <br />Contracts for Professional Services, Volume 1 Consultant Contract Administration, Section <br />3.9. <br />Page 15 of 27 <br />Revision Date 3/26/2020 <br />
