- (a) The Arkansas Department of Transportation, and similarly the DPO, should be aware that the development of the D-B proposal involves an extensive design effort by each short-list proposer and will likely generate a greater number of proposer requests for clarification (PRFC) from a proposer than a standard DB-B project.
- (b) In addition, responses to PRFC will need to be quickly and efficiently developed and returned.
- (c) The internal processes within the DPO and the responsible staff size should be modified to reflect the increased requirements to address the anticipated PRFC prior to the issuance of the RFQ and RFP.
