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

D-251, Request for Qualifications—Design-Build, is a comprehensive guide designed to assist project owners in selecting the best design-builder for their projects through either a One-Step or Two-Step competitive selection process. Developed by the Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC), this document provides detailed instructions, customizable templates, and evaluation criteria to streamline the qualification and selection process. It emphasizes the importance of tailoring the RFQ to project-specific needs, ensuring clarity in requirements, and fostering transparency in the selection process. Ideal for both public and private projects, the RFQ serves as a foundational tool for achieving project success by prioritizing qualifications, technical expertise, and strategic approaches to design and construction.

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.
