Preview each proposal to gain an overview of what they all contain.If there appears to be a potential conflict of interest in performing the evaluation duties,immediately bring this to the attention of the Committee Chairperson.Evaluators are reminded that the identity of the Evaluation Committee is confidential;additionally,Committee members are instructed not to discuss or divulge the contents of the submitted proposals with anyone prior to the committee meeting,all information related to the Evaluation Committee's activities shall be kept confidential until after the Intent to Award is issued. Please closely review the Instructions and telephone me (#771-3036)with any questions you may have.Especially note the requirements for ratings of "5". FAX (#771-3044)or deliver a copy of your completed Evaluation Rating Sheet to me before 2:00 pm,Friday,May 24.A committee meeting to discuss your evaluations is scheduled for 1:30 pm,Tuesday,May 228 in the Willow Conference Room. xc: evi-memo (April 2012)Memo to Evaluators EVALUATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMMITTEE 1.Do not wait until the last day before the Committee meeting to do your evaluations.Selection of the best Offeror is important to the Agency,the Offeror,and the credibility of the process.It demands your reasonable effort. 2.Review the RFP Package and any addenda.Before evaluating proposals,read pages 1,2 and 3 of PART C (Section t,Technical Proposal).Note any revised or non- standard criteria that are weighted more than zero.Ensure you have an understanding of what responses must contain and any issues they must address. 3.There shall be no discussion of proposals among Evaluators prior to the Evaluation Committee Meeting.If questions arise during your evaluation,consult with your Procurement Manager,who will resolve them and inform the other Evaluators of the issues as may be appropriate. 4.Do NOT contact any references until after the committee meeting to discuss proposals and then only if necessary regarding the top scored Offeror(s). 5.Preview each proposal to gain an overview of what they all contain.If there appears to be a potential conflict of interest in performing the evaluation duties,immediately bring this to the attention of the Committee Chairperson. 6.Copies of the offerors'proposals have been given to you as work copies.You are encouraged to mark comments on them or separate sheets regarding good or poor points of Offerors'responses.Remember to be professional in the language you use.No individual,formal statement of your evaluation will be required;however, such notes will remind you of the issues when the Committee discusses the proposals and also if you are called upon to discuss your evaluation with specific Offerors after the evaluation process is completed.These copies should be maintained by you until about a month following contract award -or resolution of any award protest -then they should be destroyed. 7.Read and evaluate all of the Offeror's responses to a single criterion;then proceed to another criterion until all are evaluated.Preferably you should rotate the order of Offerors when evaluating each criterion.Focus on what the text of each criterion description calls for,not just the title.Evaluate each response only for its applicability to the specific criterion for which it is given. ins-comm (April 2012)Instructions for Evaluation Committee 8.Base your ratings on what you read -not on any personal knowledge you may have concerning an Offeror.At this phase of the evaluation process, experience and other credentials described in proposals should be considered authentic.Any questions regarding the authenticity of statements in proposals,the relevance of referenced projects,how well they were accomplished,and your independent knowledge should be addressed when the committee meets to discuss the proposals. 9.EVALUATOR RATING SHEET *Do not factor,average,assign point values, rate,or score proposals in any manner different than that explained below (except as may be clearly described in the RFP Package). *Enter signature and date where indicated (plus other information if not already done). *Rate your evaluation of each response to Criteria #1-8 and enter those ratings in the applicable blocks on the Evaluator Rating Sheet.Use the full range of ratings ("O"and "1 -5")for each criterion which are scored by individual evaluators.Consider each criterion as if it were the only criterion for selection.For each criterion, you shall rate only one Offeror's response "5"which means it is the best response -even if all responses to the criterion are of lesser quality than expected.(Any inadequacies should be addressed during contract negotiations.)Other Offeror's responses should be rated (ranked)in descending order of 4,3,2,1.If acriterionresponse'clearly misses the intentoFOtherwisefailstoadequatelyaddressthecriterion,it should be rated "0".Of course,identical ratings of less than "5"will occur when the number of Offerors exceed five. Ratings are relative.Your responsibility is to distinguish among responses to each criterion.Thus if there are only five Offerors,all or several Offerors should generally not receive the same rating for a criterion,e.g."3",even if it may be difficult to make such decisions. 10.Provide copies of your completed Rating Sheets to the Committee Chairperson prior to the Committee Meeting.

Our understanding of AEA's objectives is based on our long experience providing hydroelectric development services in Alaska,even predating our early construction and CM work on the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project (as legacy firm EBASCO).URS legacy companies (Dames and Moore and WCC)conducted initial fisheries studies at Bradley Lake as part of the Project's FERC application and,subsequently,three years of post-construction fisheriesmonitoringandmonitoredmitigation.We have maintained a field office in Homer,Alaska since 1977. Key URS Team members are currently registered as professional engineers or land surveyors in the State of Alaska. The individuals who will lead our team average over 30 years of experience with hydropower development,including underground tunnels and powerhouses,and construction in cold and remote parts of the world.This includes Alaska hydro,licensing,design,and construction management experience,coupled with very strong skills in cost estimating and project economics.The URS Team is fully familiar with large scale hydroelectric development in cold climates, Alaskan regulatory and public stakeholders,and the typical sequence of steps and stages fo move toward project development from earliest reconnaissance through licensing and construction.Many of our proposed team members have previously worked on the Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project,or on past and current phases of the Susitna- Watana Project.Others have been involved in recent relicensing of hydroelectric projects with FERC,and are familiar with their requirements and expectations. URS'organization and past experience will provide AEA with a reliable and proven team to support the concurrent pre-licensing engineering work and compliance with the FERC licensing process.As both a designer and builder of hydroelectric projects,we bring a "builder's perspective”to AEA. URS believes the statement of services provided by AEA is in-line with the industry and typical services required to support existing hydroelectric projects and modifications to hydroelectric projects,based on our extensive knowledge and heritage of water resource project design and construction that dates back more than 100 years.Today,our project experience totals over 45,000 MW of installed hydroelectric capacity and includes all types and sizes of hydro plants. 2 Methods URS proposes to perform work required on this contract using our specialized in-house staff,and Larsen Consulting Group (LCG)for surveying and title search activities. URS Pet Bradley Lake Hydroelectric Project Engineering Term Agreement SKARFPNo.AEA 2013-094 qc=>ALA ee Ga ENERGY AUTHORITY Incoming work would be coordinated through the URS Anchorage office;work in the Anchorage office's area of specialization would be performed there,while offices in Washington,Oregon,or California would supplement their capability with specialties not offered locally. Task orders on this contract for deliverables will be performed in the following basic sequence: A.Task order initiation URS will review the task order and disseminate it to the appropriate disciplines on the team who will determine the level of effort necessary to accomplish the work and evaluate the schedule and staffing required.URS will report back to AEA with a cost estimate and provide feedback on the scope,schedule and the staffing plan for the work. B.Task order approval When approved,a detailed schedule and work plan will be developed for the task order.The schedule,scope,and work plan will be disseminated to the URS team members who will be scheduled to perform the work.URS will work with AEA to develop an approved detailed schedule and work plan. C.Task order execution URS will work with AEA to collect all data,drawings,or survey documents required to perform the task order,and work will proceed accordingly. The level of management and oversight required will depend on the scope and complexity of the particular task order;some small assignments can be quickly turned around,while larger efforts may require more structure to assure progress and cost control are maintained.A complex task would include an appropriate number of progress milestones including interim internal and external reviews.Internal interdisciplinary reviews would also be integrated to ensure design coordination and quality control.All deliverables to AEA will be internally reviewed prior to submission. URS employs a standardized set of Project Execution Procedures (PEP's)so that all work is performed,checked, and documented in a rigorous manner to ensure delivery of consistent,high quality products to our clients.These PEP's were developed internally based upon our vast experience in engineering,construction,and project management,and represent a substantial value to AEA. The progress of all tasks against schedule and budget will be evaluated weekly,and any corrective action implemented as necessary.Meetings with AEA and other parties will be held as needed and desired by AEA.These will include presentation of the design when required.The URS individuals in responsible charge will attend the meetings. Review comments from AEA will be incorporated and written responses provided. D.Task order delivery The completed task order deliverable will be provided to AEA in the format and quantity requested. 3 Management URS has defined clear lines of authority for this effort to ensure that AEA receives responsive,locally-based service at all times.Paul Dworian,our contract manager,is well-known to AEA from serving in this role for URS'current work on the Susitna-Watana project.He is located in URS'Anchorage office,less than 1.5-miles from AEA's offices.Mr. Dworian is also involved with the Susitna Project and,based upon shifting other commitments,we expect he can readily accommodate both assignments.Doug Hartsock,our project manager,and mechanical engineering discipline lead,is based in our Seattle office,and will travel to Anchorage as needed to coordinate project activities.Additional engineering discipline leads,project professionals and support staff are variously based in Anchorage,Seattle,and Portland. URS'approach to communications is systematic and entails using a series of structured meetings as well as ongoing contacts between our management team and AEA through telephone calls,emails,web conferences,and other URS rae?
