Abstract: The Standard Form 330 expands essential information about qualifications and experience data, including an organizational chart of all participating firms and key personnel (for all key personnel, a description of their experience in 5 relevant projects), a description of each example project performed by the project team (or some elements of the project team) and its relevance to the agency’s proposed contract, a matrix of key personnel who participated in the example projects, permits limited submission length thereby reducing costs for both the architect-engineer industry and the Government, and reflects current architect-engineer disciplines, experience types and technology.
