A qualification-based selection process conforming to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5100-14E including the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“DBE”) requirements specified in 150/5100-14E, and required by 49 CFR Part 26 (see page 4 of this Notice), will be used to select a well-qualified firm. Fee information will not be considered in the selection process and must not be submitted with the Statement of Qualifications. However, note that TAIT limits the cost multiplier to 3.0 max (Direct Labor + Overhead + Profit < 3 * Direct Labor). Prospective engineers are advised that applied overhead rates must be in accordance with the cost principles established within Federal Regulation 48 CFR Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures. The successful firm will be required to submit a copy of their current overhead rate audit certification. Not-to-exceed fee amounts will be negotiated for design and construction services contracts.
