Question 1 of 29👑 VIP
A public transit authority is procuring a new maintenance facility using design-build delivery. The agency has limited internal expertise to evaluate highly technical proposals but wants meaningful competition on both technical approach and price. Which procurement method is MOST appropriate, and what is the primary advantage it offers this owner? A. Low-bid design-build, because it maximizes price competition and is easiest to defend publicly B. Qualifications-based selection, because it removes price as a factor and focuses entirely on team credentials C. Best-value selection with a technical/price weighting, because it balances quality of approach against cost while maintaining meaningful competition D. Single-source negotiation, because it eliminates evaluation burden and allows the agency to work directly with a trusted team
