8as required by the request for proposals. The technical review committee may award
9not more than 20 percent of the points awarded to a technical proposal based on the
10design-builder's qualifications and ability to design, contract, and deliver the project
11in accordance with any deadline established in the request for proposals. The
12technical review committee may award a technical proposal not more than 55
13percent of the maximum number of combined points that may be awarded to a
14technical proposal and cost proposal.
AB56-ASA1,395,1815 (c) The office shall allow design-builders to include alternative technical
16concepts and value engineering changes in their proposals by describing the process
17for submission and evaluation of alternative technical concepts and value
18engineering changes in the request for proposals.
AB56-ASA1,395,2419 (d) The technical review committee may not consider a proposal responsive
20unless the proposal includes a conceptual design, critical path method, bar schedule
21of the work to be performed or similar schematic, design plans and specifications,
22technical reports, and all other information required by the request for proposals.
23The technical review committee may not consider any price or fee included in the
24technical proposal.
AB56-ASA1,396,4
1(e) The office shall notify the design-builder for each proposal that is
2determined to be responsive under par. (b) that the design-builder may submit a cost
3proposal under par. (7). The office shall reject all proposals that are determined to
4be nonresponsive under par. (b).
AB56-ASA1,396,9 5(7) Cost proposals. (a) Design-builders notified under sub. (6) (e) may submit
6a cost proposal and the proposal shall include a fixed cost of design, engineering, and
7construction services prepared by a design professional that contains all design,
8engineering, construction, and quality assurance and quality control costs of the
9project.
AB56-ASA1,396,1510 (b) The technical review committee may open cost proposals only after the
11technical proposals have been reviewed as provided in sub. (6). At the time and place
12specified in the request for proposals, the technical review committee shall open cost
13proposals, read the proposals aloud, and, for a project that will be awarded as a best
14value design-build contract, make public the committee's scoring of the technical
15proposals.
AB56-ASA1,396,1716 (c) Following a review of cost proposals, the department may issue a notice of
17intent to award a contract, subject to all of the following:
AB56-ASA1,396,2018 1. For a low bid design-build contract, the contract shall be awarded to the
19qualified responsible bidder that submitted a responsive technical proposal and also
20submitted the lowest responsive cost proposal.
AB56-ASA1,396,2521 2. For a fixed price variable scope design-build contract, the contract shall be
22awarded to the qualified responsible bidder that submitted a responsive technical
23proposal and that submitted a responsive cost proposal that provides the maximum
24amount of services for the maximum fixed price set by the office or for an amount that
25is less than the maximum fixed price.
AB56-ASA1,397,12
13. For a best value design-build contract, the contract shall be awarded to the
2qualified responsible bidder with the highest adjusted score, which shall be
3calculated by adding the bidder's technical proposal score to the bidder's cost
4proposal score. The technical review committee shall award the lowest qualified
5responsible bidder the maximum number of points that may be awarded to a cost
6proposal under the request for proposals, but not less than 45 percent and not more
7than 75 percent of the maximum number of combined points that may be awarded
8to a technical proposal and cost proposal. For each remaining qualified responsible
9bidder, the technical review committee shall calculate the score for the cost proposal
10by reducing the maximum number of points that may be awarded to the cost proposal
11by at least 1 percent for each percentage point by which the cost proposal exceeds the
12lowest cost proposal.
AB56-ASA1,397,2113 (d) Following a review of cost proposals, the office may reject all proposals. If
14the office rejects all proposals or does not execute a contract after issuing an intent

22amount and dividing the dollar value of construction services to be performed by the
23design-builder or members by the difference. If the value of construction services
24to be performed by the design-builder or members is less than 30 percent of the value

1of all construction services required under the contract, the office shall cancel the
