Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) A governmental entity shall request proposals from design-build firms identified under Section 2269.359(c). A response to a request for detailed proposals must be submitted on or before the earlier of the time for submission requested by the governmental entity or the 180th day after the date the governmental entity makes a public request for the proposals from the selected firms. The request for proposals must include:
(1) a design criteria package;
(2) if the project site is identified, a geotechnical baseline report or other information that provides the design-build firm minimum geotechnical design parameters to submit a proposal;
(3) detailed instructions for preparing the technical proposal and the items to be included, including a description of the form and level of completeness of drawings expected; and
(4) the relative weighting of the technical and price proposals and the formula by which the proposals will be evaluated and ranked.
(b) The technical proposal is a component of the proposal under this section.
(c) Each proposal must include a sealed technical proposal and a separate sealed cost proposal.
(d) The technical proposal must address:
(1) project approach;
(2) anticipated problems;
(3) proposed solutions to anticipated problems;
(4) ability to meet schedules;
(5) conceptual engineering design; and
(6) other information requested by the governmental entity.
(e) The governmental entity shall first open, evaluate, and score each responsive technical proposal submitted on the basis of the criteria described in the request for proposals and assign points on the basis of the weighting specified in the request for proposals. The governmental entity may reject as nonresponsive any firm that makes a significant change to the composition of its firm as initially submitted. The governmental entity shall subsequently open, evaluate, and score the cost proposals from firms that submitted a responsive technical proposal and assign points on the basis of the weighting specified in the request for proposals. The governmental entity shall select the design-build firm in accordance with the formula provided in the request for proposals.
