We’re using a design/build approach, which would necessitate an RFP versus a tender. We’re leaving it up to the contractor or the private sector to determine and give us some ideas about how they would approach the project to see if we can get some innovation in the solution that way rather than specifically stating what we want and how we want it to be done, which we would do through our traditional construction contract. It’s just a different way to achieve the same thing. It’s just a different approach, but it’s the design/build approach. Rather than splitting the design and the construction up, this will combine it and see what proposals the private sector can offer us.
