UTILIZING THIS DOCUMENT FOR
UEPH COMPLEX DESIGN-BUILD SOLICITATIONS
2-1 VOLUME I, USING THE PROJECT MANAGEMENT MANUAL.
2-1.1 The Project Management Manual provides a step by step discussion of the process of procuring
facilities and associated supporting site improvements utilizing the two-phase design-build process. Each
chapter describes a specific phase of the process, and the chapters are placed in project execution
sequence. Checklists of activities are included at the end of most chapters. Project design teams are
encouraged to review and modify these checklists to reflect the specific work assignments and
methodologies of their specific Districts, the Activity Lead identification is only an example of a possible
process.
The appendices which follow the Project Management Manual are provided to facilitate the
evaluation and source selection process. This chapter discusses the ways of using the Project
Management Manual, its appendices, and the Model Request for Proposals (Volume 2).
2-2 VOLUME I, APPENDIX A, PHASE 1 EVALUATION MANUAL.
2-2.1 Appendix A will form the basis of the Phase 1 Evaluation Manual which establishes standards of
acceptability and desirability with regard to recent relevant experience, past performance information,
and key personnel. Specific requirements for demonstration of the offeror's capability and past
performance are provided in Volume 2, Section 00110. Section 00120, PROPOSAL EVALUATION
CRITERIA outlines the evaluation process for Phase 1 proposals.
This appendix shall be reviewed
and edited to suit project specific requirements and must be fully coordinated with RFP Sections 00110
and 00120.
2-3 VOLUME I, APPENDIX B, PHASE 2 EVALUATION MANUAL.
2-3.1 Appendix B will form the basis of the Phase 2 Evaluation Manual which is designed to be used by
the team that evaluates the quality of offerors' proposals and assigns quality ratings to reflect the relative
value to the Government. The Phase II Evaluation Manual must be coordinated with Volume 2 of this TI,
Section 00120,
PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA; Volume 2 Section 00110, PROPOSAL
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS; and Volume 2, STATEMENT OF WORK. Although minor modification
of these areas is acceptable to reflect unusual user requirements and site conditions, extensive
modifications to format and content, in general, are discouraged.
