Notice of Proposed Rule

Department:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Chapter:

ADMINISTRATION OF COMBINED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS (DESIGN-BUILD)

Overview

RULE:

14-91.002	Definitions
14-91.004	Prequalification Requirements
14-91.005	Public Announcement Procedures
14-91.007	Selection and Award Process

PURPOSE:

The amendments to this rule are being made to clarify language and provide options for competitive bidding on design-build projects.

SUMMARY:

These amendments allow for competitive bidding on Department advertised Design-Build projects.  The rule includes a new procurement method for non-complex projects that includes price as a principle, but not exclusive, consideration in the awarding of a project.  The rule allows qualified bidders to team with design professionals and others in the submission of a bid proposal and eliminates an unused optional provision for advertising of projects outside of the Department’s website.  The rule provides specific requirements for a letter of interest, and explains how Design-Build firms will be shortlisted by one of two methods after a review of the letters of interest.  The rule provides that the assessments made by a Technical Review committee will be reviewed by a Selection Committee prior to the awarding of a Department project.  The rule eliminates a chart providing a pre-set compensation range for stipend compensation to allow the stipend award to be placed in the project advertisement.
