USACE Guidance for Firm Fixed-Price Design-Build Construction
Contracts, updated 10 July 2002, available at

D-B PROCESS. The intent of this document is not to discuss the D-B
process but to provide guidance for the preparation of an RFP for an airfield D-B
project. Discussion of the D-B contracting process is included in TI 800-03 and
Guidance for Firm Fixed-Price Design-Build Construction Contracts
The first two chapters of TI 800-03 provide information regarding D-B contracting:
Chapter 1, General
Chapter 2, The Design-Build Process
The technical portions of Guidance for Firm Fixed-Price Design-Build Construction
Contracts are based on building projects (vertical construction) more than site work
(horizontal construction). However, there are parts that address contractual, proposal
evaluation, and award criteria that are pertinent to D-B contracts for airfields. These
parts are:
Part 1, Introduction
Part 2, Non-Traditional Roles and Responsibilities
Part 3, Cost Limitation Clauses
Part 4, Special Contract Clauses
Part 5, Contract Clauses for D-B Contracts
Part 6, Basis of Award
Part 11, Proposal Evaluation Criteria
