This project is a Best Value, two-phase design-build solicitation, which may also include a percentage of design-bid-build (fully designed, ready for construction) task orders. A detailed project description and overall project performance requirements for this project will be included in the Request For Proposals (RFP) package.  The solicitation criteria relies upon industry standards, where allowable, to afford the offeror a degree of design flexibility while meeting certain specific project requirements.  The successful Contractor must design and construct complete and usable facilities, as described in the RFP documents.  One solicitation will be issued covering both phases. Proposals will be evaluated in Phase One to determine which offerors will submit proposals for Phase Two, and an amendment will be issued to those selected offerors.  Selection of offerors for involvement in Phase Two will be based on technical approach and performance capability.  Detailed project design requirements will then be added by amendment to the solicitation at the start of the Phase Two stage of the Request For Proposals.  A limited number of firms will be invited to participate in the second phase.
