FOREWORD
This document addresses the VA philosophy for Design-Build (DB) projects and the
minimum Architect/Engineer (A/E) submission requirements for the development of
Request for Proposal (RFP) Documents. The requirements consist of a Level 1 RFP
Document Submission or a Level 2 RFP Document Submission, as defined in this
document, and the Selection Procedure, Offer Requirements, and Contract
Requirements of the DB Team.
This document does not relieve the A/E firms of their professional responsibility to
produce a correct, complete, and fully coordinated Request for Proposal.
