The criteria shown are recommended by the BOA. Other criteria can be added as well according to the sponsor’s needs, i.e. if a project is occurring in an environmentally sensitive area, a possible criterion may be “Ability to work in sensitive environmental and public atmospheres” . The weights shown are examples so that sponsors can visualize how weights are assigned to the different criterion. Weights should be reassigned by sponsors according to their priorities. Sponsors should carefully assign weights to each criterion so that the weights are representative of the impact of each category on accomplishing the project(s), i.e. “Capability to furnish qualified inspectors” should not have a high weight if the majority of expected projects are planning in nature.
