23 CFR § 636.201
What selection procedures and award criteria may be used?
May 21, 2020
You should consider using two-phase selection procedures for all design-build projects. However, if you do not believe two-phase selection procedures are appropriate for your project (based on the criteria in §636.202), you may use a single phase selection procedure or the modified-design-build contracting method. The following procedures are available:
Open Table

(b) Single Phase (RFP) | Project not meeting the criteria in §636.202 | All of the award criteria in item (a) of this table. |
(c) Modified Design-Build (may be one or two phases) | Any project | Lowest price technically acceptable. |
