Practical tips for a competitive response
This procurement uses a two-phase design-build selection procedure. Phase One will evaluate Technical Approach, Experience, Past Performance, and Safety. Phase Two will assess Technical Solution (based on a proposed Task Order 0001), Small Business Utilization and Participation, and Price (also based on Task Order 0001). Ensure your proposal clearly addresses all these factors.
Since awards may be made without discussions, thoroughly review all requirements and ensure your proposal is complete, accurate, and compelling from the outset. Highlight your firm's relevant experience with waterfront construction projects, especially those similar in scope to piers, dry docks, and dredging. Clearly demonstrate your safety record and your approach to small business utilization.
