(a)   The screening process is the examination of each consultant that has indicated interest in the project proposed by the state agency. Files on each consultant are provided by the Department for this purpose. Prior to beginning the review, a specific list of criteria must be developed and should include, but not be limited to the following:

(1)   Specialized experience related to the proposed project.

(2)   Similar experience on comparable projects.

(3)   Technical qualifications of the design team.

(b)   State agencies shall use the Consultant Screening Evaluation Form prescribed by the Administrator. The form may be modified for a specific project with prior approval of the Administrator.

(c)   A screening evaluation sheet should be prepared listing each consultant considered with a rating for each criteria listed as in the Consultant Screening Evaluation Form. After all consultants are evaluated, the ratings are compared and the top three to five consultants are identified for interview. If multiple projects are being considered, two consultants for each project are selected for interview. [61 O.S., Section 62(E)]

(d)   A copy of the evaluation sheets shall be included in the report to the Department.
