(a) The technical evaluation committee shall review and evaluate the responsive submissions of bidders and determine the relative ability of each such bidder to perform the work under the design-build contract. The evaluation of the qualifications of each bidder may include, but need not be limited to, consideration of the following factors:

1. Experience of the prospective bidder and proposed design-build team on projects of similar size, scope, and complexity;

2. Experience of key team members on projects of similar size, scope and complexity;

3. Experience of the prospective bidder and proposed design-build team on design-build projects of similar size, scope, and complexity;

4. Experience of the key team members on design-build projects of similar size, scope and complexity;

5. Experience of the prospective bidder or its key team members on projects for the Authority, as evidenced by performance evaluations as specified in the RFP;

6. The prior affirmative action experience of the prospective bidder and the design-build team;

7. Consideration of the bidder's aggregate rating from the Department of Treasury, Division of Property Management and Contracts, which is affected by prior affirmative action experience; and

8. Any other pertinent information necessary to establish the qualifications of the prospective bidder and proposed design-build team to undertake the design-build contract.

(b) At the conclusion of the first phase of the selection process, the technical evaluation committee shall develop a short list of the bidders whose qualifications are deemed most advantageous to the Authority in terms of qualification factors other than price, as indicated in the RFQ. The bidders selected for the short list shall be invited to participate in the second phase of the process. The short list will be published on the Authority's website at www.njsda.gov and all bidders that supplied submissions will be notified in writing of the bidders selected for the short list.
