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) | § 636.202 | Lowest 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 § 636.202 | All of the award criteria in item (a) of this table.
|
| (c) Modified Design-Build (may be one or two phases) | Any project | Lowest price technically acceptable. |
