Some key requirements for the proposal include: • The firm must have completed and signed the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM), DSB Application Form. • The firm must possess all necessary current licenses and registrations to qualify under Massachusetts law to perform the function of the consultant. • The firm must demonstrate expertise in marinas and waterfront projects, applicable laws, public outreach, and structural and environmental knowledge based on a previous project/experience narrative. • The firm must have at least three years' experience in the design, construction, and construction administration of marinas and/or waterfront projects. The evaluation of the submissions will be conducted by a committee appointed by the Town, and the judgment of the evaluators will be based upon the evaluation criteria set forth in this RFQ and in the Town of Bourne's Designer Selection Procedures.
