REVIEW USAF STRATEGIES(Did it happen?)

• Design Construction Practices
• PM continuity, project packages, A/E integration
  with construction, performance specifications,
  incentives
• Project Delivery Strategy clear definition from
  conception to delivery use spectrum of tailored
  contractual instruments
• Design-Build Procedures single award acquires
  A/E and construction services, selection based on
  quality of intended design, cost, technical
  capability, construction management plan,
  guaranteed maximum price
• Small business rules dont set aside projects
  over 2 MM
• Expand Title II Services
• Prequalification
