Prepared by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC).

D-050, Design-Builder Selection Procedures and Design-Build Contract Documents, is a detailed resource designed to assist owners and their advisors in efficiently managing the design-build project delivery process. It provides step-by-step guidance for selecting a design-builder, preparing procurement documents such as RFQs and RFPs, and developing tailored contract documents that align with project-specific requirements and legal regulations. The document emphasizes flexibility, collaboration, and standardization to ensure clarity, reduce risks, and enhance project outcomes. Ideal for both traditional and progressive design-build approaches, it includes tools for defining project goals, organizing conceptual documents, and addressing critical elements like bonds, insurance, and dispute resolution.

EJCDC includes the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Council of Engineering Companies, the National Society of Professional Engineers, and the participation of more than fifteen other professional engineering design, construction, owner, legal, and risk management organizations.

EJCDC documents are delivered in Microsoft Word format (file extension *.docx) and sometimes Microsoft Excel format (file extension *.xlsx). Microsoft Word and Excel are required if you wish to edit the files.
