AEC has significant experience with design/build projects on both sides of the design/build table – both as the RFP preparer and as a successful responder to RFP solicitations. We have prepared a number of D/B RFPs in recent years. The RFPs have varied in their level of detail from those that stipulate only the performance requirements to those that contain a significantly developed concept design depending upon our client’s desires. Our experience successfully responding to design build RFP’s provides our clients with a significant asset when we prepare RFPs for them. A well-crafted RFP is one which clearly defines the requirements for the project in a way that is measurable and verifiable. It provides all the information required for the responders to prepare a proposal that is competitive and meets the needs of the client and the project. Our quality control reviewers have successfully responded to dozens of RFP’s – their evaluation of our RFP packages, among other criteria, is to determine whether the RFP requirements are sufficiently defined to develop a complete response.
