         		<a id="pl.6.2"></a><var>6.2</var>In consideration for paying the stipulated fee, the municipality may use any ideas or <br />

         		<a id="pl.6.13"></a><var>6.13</var>low-bid, design-build procedures to award a design-build contract where the scope of <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.14"></a><var>6.14</var>the work can be clearly defined.<br />
         		<a id="pl.6.15"></a><var>6.15</var>(b) Low-bid design-build projects may require an RFQ and short-listing, and must <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.16"></a><var>6.16</var>require an RFP.<br />
         		<a id="pl.6.17"></a><var>6.17</var>(c) Submitted proposals under this subdivision must include separately a technical <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.18"></a><var>6.18</var>proposal and a price proposal. The low-bid, design-build procedures must follow a <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.19"></a><var>6.19</var>two-step process for review of the responses to the RFP as follows:<br />
         		<a id="pl.6.20"></a><var>6.20</var>(1) the first step is the review of the technical proposal by the Technical Review <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.21"></a><var>6.21</var>Committee as provided in subdivision 5. The Technical Review Committee must open <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.22"></a><var>6.22</var>the technical proposal first and must determine if it complies with the requirements of the <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.23"></a><var>6.23</var>RFP and is responsive. The Technical Review Committee may not perform any ranking <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.24"></a><var>6.24</var>or scoring of the technical proposals; and<br />
         		<a id="pl.6.25"></a><var>6.25</var>(2) the second step is the determination of the low bidder based on the price <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.26"></a><var>6.26</var>proposal. The municipality may not open the price proposal until the review of the <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.27"></a><var>6.27</var>technical proposal is complete.<br />
         		<a id="pl.6.28"></a><var>6.28</var>(d) The contract award under low-bid, design-build procedures must be made to the <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.29"></a><var>6.29</var>proposer whose sealed bid is responsive to the technical requirements as determined by <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.30"></a><var>6.30</var>the Technical Review Committee and that is also the lowest bid.<br />
         		<a id="pl.6.31"></a><var>6.31</var>(e) A stipulated fee may be paid for unsuccessful bids on low-bid, design-build <br />
         		<a id="pl.6.32"></a><var>6.32</var>projects only when the municipality has required an RFQ and short-listed the most highly <br />
