all phases of the project, the architect-engineer contractor that
is providing design services under a separate contract with GSA
is contractually responsible for the design in the same manner as
under a traditional, design-bid-build project delivery method.</p>

the design phase, the architect-engineer contractor and the construction
contractor shall collaborate on the design and constructability
issues. The goal of this collaboration is to establish a final ECW
that does not exceed the original target ECW.</p>
