(a)The procedure to select or designate a performance criteria developer utilizing a qualification based process and the procedure to prepare performance criteria;
(b)The procedures for the preparation and contents of a design-build request for proposals;
(c)The procedure and standards to be used to qualify or pre-qualify design-builders;
(d)The procedures for preparing and submitting proposals;
(e)The procedures for evaluating proposals;
(f)The procedures for negotiations between the purchasing agency and those submitting proposals prior to the acceptance of a proposal. The procedures shall contain safeguards to preserve confidential information and proprietary information supplied by those submitting proposals, consistent with §5-18B-34;
(g)The procedures for awarding and executing design-build contracts;

The determination to utilize design-build and the basis for the determination shall be recorded in the project file or the minutes of the meeting of the governing board of the purchasing agency. In making this determination, design-build projects shall meet one or more of the following criteria:
(a)The purchasing agency requires a project design and construction time line that is faster than the traditional design/bid/build process would allow;
(b)The complexity of the project requires close coordination of design and construction expertise or an extreme amount of coordination;
(c)The purchasing agency requires early cost commitments; or
(d)The project can be defined at an early stage and the purchasing agency is able to specify all requirements; and
(3)The purchasing agency shall follow the procedures of other laws governing public improvement construction contracts to the extent such laws are compatible with the use of design-build contracts.
