standards. Engineering fees will be funded entirely by the Hancock County Engineer and will not be
subject to ODOT requirements.
Evaluation Criteria
1. Project Manager Qualifications
The proposed project manager for each consultant shall be ranked, with the highest-ranked project
manager receiving the greatest number of points and lower-ranked project managers receiving
commensurately lower scores. Rankings will be based on each project manager’s experience on similar
projects and past performance for Hancock County and other agencies.
2. Experience and Strength of Assigned Staff
The experience and strength of the assigned staff, including subconsultant staff, will be ranked and scored
as noted above, with higher differential scores assigned for more complex projects. Any subfactors
identified in the project notification will be weighed heavily. Rankings will be based on each staff
member’s experience on similar projects and past performance for Hancock County and other agencies.
3. Past Performance on Similar Projects
Consultants will be ranked and scored on a relative, differential basis, with the highest-ranked consultant
receiving a commensurately greater number of points. The selection team will consider performance
ratings and consult other agencies as appropriate. Differential scoring will consider project complexity and
any subfactors identified in the project notice.
4. Workload and Availability
The consultant’s workload and availability of qualified personnel, equipment, and facilities will be ranked
and scored on a relative, differential basis. The selection team will consider an equitable distribution of
work among similarly qualified firms.
5. Relevant Project Experience
Provide details of at least three (3) recent, similar county projects that best demonstrate the firm’s
experience and ability to provide professional design services for this project. References shall include the
project name, description, and owner contact information.
It is the County Engineer’s intention to provide open competition for the geotechnical services in which
firms’ qualifications are evaluated. Once a firm is selected, fair and reasonable compensation will be
negotiated.
