If the value of construction services to be performed by the design-builder or member is less than 30 percent of the value of all construction services required under the contract, the office shall cancel the contract award. 84.062(9)(9) Project delivery. An individual identified in a response to a request for qualifications or in a technical proposal may be replaced by a design-builder if the office determines that the new individual meets the qualifications described in the response to the request for qualifications or in the technical proposal and that the individual’s qualifications are at least equal to the qualifications of the individual being replaced. 84.062(10)(a)(a) Nothing in this section shall be construed as relieving a design-builder of 3rd-party liability or liability for loss or damage to property of the state or a county or municipality. 84.062(10)(b)(b) All design services, including architectural and engineering services, provided under a design-build contract are services and not products. 84.062(11)(a)(a) The department shall award a stipulated fee of not less than three-tenths of 1 percent of the department’s estimated cost of design and construction as follows: 84.062(11)(a)1.1.

To all qualified responsible bidders if the office cancels the solicitation before the technical review committee reviews technical proposals. 84.062(11)(b)(b) The department shall pay the fee to each qualified responsible bidder under par. (a) no later than 90 days after the department issues a notice of intent to award a contract, determines that it will not issue a notice of intent to award a contract, or cancels the solicitation. 84.062(11)(c)(c) In consideration for paying the fee, the department may use work product contained in an unsuccessful proposal in connection with any proposed or awarded design-build project without making any additional compensation to the design-builder. If an unsuccessful design-builder waives the fee, the department cannot use work product in the design-builder’s unsuccessful proposal. 84.062(12)(12) Rules.
