Grant Evaluation Criteria
Upon receipt, the applications will be
evaluated by FMCSA for potential
funding. Selection of a successful
applicant will be made based upon the
evaluation criteria stated below.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:16 Jul 25, 2006
Jkt 208001
Factor 1: Past Performance
FMCSA will conduct a performance
risk assessment based upon the
applicant’s past performance, as well as
that of its proposed subgrantees and
subcontractors, as it relates to the
probability of successful
accomplishment of the project. When
assessing performance risk, FMCSA will
focus its inquiry on the past
performance of the applicant and its
proposed subgrantees and
subcontractors as to cost, schedule, and
performance—including the applicant’s
adherence to project schedules and
administrative aspects of performance
as well as its history for reasonable and
cooperative commitment to Federallyassisted programs.
The assessment of performance risk is
not intended to be the product of a
mechanical or mathematical analysis of
an applicant’s performance on a list of
grants but rather the product of
subjective judgment of the evaluation
team after it considers all available
information. FMCSA’s definitions of
performance risk are:
• High Performance Risk: Based on
the applicant’s performance record, or
lack of related experience on which past
performance may be measured,
significant doubt exists that the
applicant can successfully complete the
project within the estimated cost and
schedule.
• Moderate Performance Risk: Based
on the applicant’s performance record,
some doubt exists that the applicant can
successfully complete the project within
the estimated cost and schedule.
• Low Performance Risk: Based on
the applicant’s performance record,
little doubt exists that the applicant can
successfully complete the project within
the estimated cost and schedule.
• Neutral Rating: There is no
evidence that past performance
information exists for the applicant.
Factor 2: Technical and Management
Approach
FMCSA will evaluate the applicant’s:
• Proposed technical and
management approach to ensure that it
clearly demonstrates a thorough
understanding of the project,
• Information to determine the
technical capability of its proposed
resources to meet the requirements
outlined in the project objectives,
• Proposed personnel matrix to
determine if sufficient resources exist
that demonstrate that the applicant
possesses the capability to manage and
the staff to carry out the project,
• Unpriced personnel matrix to
ensure it includes the right mix of labor
category/skill level, and

Frm 00094
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
42439
• Proposed quality control measures
to determine if established procedures
will adequately recognize problems and
employ appropriate corrective actions.
Factor 3: Budget
Budget information will be analyzed
for reasonableness and completeness to
include the 24-month period of the
project. This evaluation may include a
comparison of the applicant’s proposed
prices to those of other applicants and
to prices paid under similar grants.
The applicant who has been approved
for funding will enter into a grant
agreement with FMCSA. The grant
agreement must be in accordance with
OMB Circulars A–21, A–110, A–122,
and A–133.
