Description:

H.R. 679 would modify the federal government’s procedures for awarding design and construction contracts for federal facilities and would prohibit the use of reverse auctions for such awards. Specifically, the legislation would require the selection process for designing and constructing any federal facility with a cost of more than $3 million to use two phases. In phase one, firms would provide basic information on their experience and past performance; agencies then would select a few firms and invite them to submit a more detailed proposal in phase two.
