Forming Teams and Selecting SubcontractorsForming Teams and Selecting Subcontractors
• As a prime contractor, CH2M HILL typically identifies/contacts potential Team Subcontractors 3 – 12 months prior to the release of the RFP. (NOTE: We want to hear from small businesses interested in teaming with us.)
• In selecting Team Subcontractors, we give weight to established working relationships and also seek new partners. We need strong bidders lists!
• For individual task orders on IDIQ-type contracts, bidders lists are pulled together in “real time”, once subcontracting service needs are identified, and task orders are approved
• We do conduct “Managed Competitions” with prospective bidders lists comprised solely of HUBZone, VOSB, SDVOSB, and WOSB firms.
