CHAPTER 6
ADVERTISING PHASE 1 OF THE RFP
6-1 DIRECTIVES.
6-1.1 The Code 7 Design Directive is the authorization to complete the RFP. Once the RFP document
has been completed, the next directive issued will provide the authority to advertise the project. Normally
this is done in response to a request from the Design District indicating that they are ready and requesting
the authority to advertise.
A CWE for the project should be included with the request to issue
advertisement authority.
6-2 OVERVIEW OF THE TWO PHASE DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS
6-2.1 Projects shall be solicited using the two-phase design-build process (FAR 36.3 reference 6-2) since
technical proposal costs are expected to require a substantial expense and more than three offerors are
expected for each project.
6-2.2 Phase I of the solicitation requires offerors to submit a "Qualifications" proposal only. FAR 36.3
(reference 6-2) lists the following evaluation factors to be considered in evaluating Phase I proposals.
They include:
6-2.2.1
Specialized experience and technical competence
6-2.2.2
Capability to perform
6-2.2.3
Past performance of offeror's team
6-2.2.4
Technical approach to the RFP project design criteria
Following receipt and evaluation of the Phase 1 proposals, up to five of the highest rated offerors will be
selected and forwarded to participate in Phase 2 of the solicitation.
6-2.3 The Phase 1 portions of the solicitation shall include, as a minimum, the information shown below.
While it is permissible and a benefit to the potential proposers, the inclusion of the complete technical
requirements package during Phase 1 of the solicitation is not mandatory.
6-2.3.1 The scope of work;
6-2.3.2 The basis of award;
6-2.3.3 The phase-one evaluation factors, including--
6-2.3.3.1 Technical approach (but not detailed design or technical information);
6-2.3.3.2 Technical qualifications, such as--
6-2.3.3.2.1 Specialized experience and technical competence;
6-2.3.3.2.2 Capability to perform;
6-2.3.3.2.2 Past performance of the offeror's team (including the architect-
engineer and construction members); and
6-2.3.3.3 Other appropriate factors (excluding cost or price related factors, which are not
permitted in Phase One);
6-2.3.4 Phase-two evaluation factors;
6-2.3.5 Proposal submission requirements for Phase 1 and Phase 2;
6-2.3.6 A statement of the maximum number of offerors that will be selected to submit phase-two
proposals. The maximum number specified shall not exceed five unless the contracting officer
determines, for that particular solicitation, that a number greater than five is in the Government's
interest and is consistent with the purposes and objectives of two-phase design-build contracting.
6-2.4 Phase Two of the solicitation shall be prepared in accordance with FAR Part 15, and shall include
phase-two evaluation factors. Examples of potential phase-two technical evaluation factors include design
