The value of the construction contract or subcontract offered to demonstrate performance will not be adjusted for inflation, currency fluctuation, or any other market forces. To be considered similar in size, project(s) must exceed $97,500,000 in initial construction award amount and be completed in the last ten (10) years. To be considered similar in type, project(s) must include new construction and should represent institutional, civic and/or governmental facilities, campuses or compounds. To be considered similar in complexity, project(s) must include work as the General Contractor (or subcontractor) performing in a new multi-functional government, civic, educational or other institutional use buildings or compounds. At least one project shall be D/B (Design Build). Definitions: “PERFORMED”—This term refers to projects that have been fully completed by the prospective offeror and accepted by the owner or other party to the transaction. Projects still in progress have not yet been ‘performed’ for purposes of this definition. “ADMINISTRATIVE AND TECHNICAL, PROFESSIONAL, OR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES”—These terms refer to the kind of work in which the prospective offeror is interested. If the proposed contract is for construction management services, the prospective offeror will be expected to demonstrate construction management experience. In general, ‘administrative’ means the capacity or ability to manage; ‘technical’ means the specific skills peculiar to the type of work required; ‘professional’ means expert services resulting from advanced training in the type of work required; and ‘construction’ experience if it has not directly performed all of the actual construction activities. Thus, an entity whose only construction work experience was performed by its legally distinct subsidiary or parent will not be considered to have construction experience. “COMPLEXITY”—This term refers to the physical and technical size and demands of the project. Project(s) must include work as the General Contractor (or subcontractor) performing in a new multi-functional government, civic, educational or other institutional use buildings or compounds. “TYPE OF CONSTRUCTION”—This term refers to the overall nature of the facilities to be built, including the kinds of materials to be used. Thus, if the contract will require the construction of a multi-story office building, the prospective offeror will be expected to demonstrate experience with facilities of this type. Project(s) must include new construction and should represent institutional, civic and/or governmental facilities, campuses or compounds “VALUE”—This term refers to the total contract price of the project, not to the profit or loss to the contractor. Project(s) must exceed $97,500.00 in initial construction award amount and be completed in the last ten (10) years. In the submission, offerors are to list one or more similar projects completed by the prospective offeror. For each project, provide the following information: Location:___________________________________(city and state) Type of service:_____________________________(administrative, etc.) Complexity:________________________________(office building, etc.) Type of construction:_____________________ Value of project:_________________ If the prospective offeror’s participation was as a partner or co-venturer, indicate the percentage of the project performed by the prospective offeror:__________. 3.B.

Organizations that wish to rely upon the experience or financial resources of any other legally related entity or organization, including parent companies, subsidiaries, or other related firms, must do so by way of a JV or a “de facto” JV.
