Sec. 636.201  What selection procedures and award criteria may be used?


    You should consider using two-phase selection procedures for all 
design-build projects. However, if you do not believe two-phase 
selection procedures are appropriate for your project (based on the 
criteria in Sec. 636.202), you may use a single phase selection 
procedure or the modified-design-build contracting method. The following 
procedures are available:
