1. Qualifications Package Requirements
_________ POINTS/100
(Total Weight = 10%)
The following (fictitious) information is requested to establish your company's (team) qualifications and
understanding of the necessary resources, knowledge, history, and organization required to address the detailed
problem. The owner entity wishes to evaluate your company's character, capital, and capabilities to insure the
successful planning, execution, and completion of any project and specifically their project. The qualifications
package is used to simulate the "short listing" process in which only those most qualified are allowed to continue in
the bidding, proposing, or negotiating process. The owner may also include in his consideration how closely your
company's culture, practices, and philosophies compliment their own. This is your first introduction and opportunity
to make and impression with this owner. YOUR QUALIFICATIONS PACKAGE SHOULD ASSUME THAT
YOU HAVE NO PREVIOUS BUSINESS, DIRECT OR INDIRECT WORKING RELATIONSHIP OR HISTORY
WITH THIS OWNER. The information contained herein should not be repeated in the final written problem
proposal, or at least minimized to the extent necessary for emphasis, continuity, or clarity.
