§ 636.201 - What selection procedures and award criteria may be used?

You should consider using two-phase selection procedures for all design-build projects. However, if you do not believe two-phase selection procedures are appropriate for your project (based on the criteria in § 636.202), you may use a single phase selection procedure or the modified-design-build contracting method. The following procedures are available:

Selection procedure Criteria for using a selection procedure Award criteria options (a) Two-Phase Selection Procedures (RFQ followed by RFP)§ 636.202Lowest price, Adjusted low-bid (price per quality point), meets criteria/low bid, weighted criteria process, fixed price/best design, best value. (b) Single Phase (RFP)Project not meeting the criteria in § 636.202All of the award criteria in item (a) of this table. (c) Modified Design-Build (may be one or two phases)Any projectLowest price technically acceptable.
