SELECTION PROCEDURES

Statements of Qualifications will be solicited from all firms or proposed teams that wish to be considered

for the services outlined in this Scope of Services. One consultant or team will be selected by MSCAA

based on a review of submitted statements. Statements submitted by the deadline established in these

instructions will be reviewed and evaluated by MSCAA in accordance with the listed criteria. MSCAA

will make the selections based on material submitted and optional telephone and/or in-person interviews.

When citing recent project experience, respondents must provide current names and telephone numbers of

knowledgeable project-owner representatives as references.

Following the evaluation of submittals by the selection committee and possible interview, the firms will

be ranked for the project and/or services. Upon approval, the staff will attempt to negotiate a fee and

scope for the required services with the top ranked firm. If a mutually satisfactory fee is negotiated, it

will be submitted to MSCAA’s Capital Program Executive Staff or its Board of Commissioners for

approval. If these efforts are unsuccessful with the initial firm, negotiations shall cease with that firm and

begin with the next ranked firm, and so on, until a satisfactory agreement has been reached and approved.

Firms submitting statements of qualifications must show evidence of having provided similar services (as

described above). Failure to provide such evidence will be deemed unresponsive and subject the proposal

to disqualification.
