architectural, environmental, structural, electrical, mechanical, and 

fire protection), producing the technical specifications and drawings, 

and preparing the construction cost estimate.

    Design-bid-build means the traditional delivery method where design 

and construction are sequential and contracted for separately with two 

contracts and two contractors.

    Design-build means combining design and construction in a single 

contract with one contractor.

    Firm in conjunction with architect-engineer services, means any 

individual, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity

    Plans and specifications means drawings, specifications, and other 

data for and preliminary to the construction.

    Record drawings means drawings submitted by a contractor or 

subcontractor at any tier to show the construction of a particular 

structure or work as actually completed under the contract.

    Two-phase design-build selection procedures is a selection method in 

which a limited number of offerors (normally five or fewer) is selected 

during Phase One to submit detailed proposals for Phase Two (see subpart 

36.3).
