Part B. Statement of Qualifications

DESIGN-BUILD

OF THE

NUCLEAR MATERIALS SAFEGUARDS AND SECURITY UPGRADES PROJECT PHASE II

**SOLICITATION NO. 33962-001-06-CB**

> The five stated evaluation criterion are in descending order of
> importance, with Experience being the highest in importance. The
> attributes within each criterion will not be independently rated, but
> will contribute to the overall rating for each criterion and are
> considered approximately equal in weight. Respondents are expected to
> conform to this section and address each attribute. Failure to address
> an attribute will be scored "red" (unacceptable). The Respondent's
> qualifications may, in the aggregate, be comprised of the sum of
> itself and any of its proposed subcontractors, consultants, team
> members, or partners. Failure to meet any of the stated minimum
> requirements will result in a "no-go" determination.
