8        addressed within the scope of work, and (B) the
9        evaluation factors and subfactors, including cost or
10        price, that must be considered in the evaluations of
11        proposals.

13        procedures in this subsection (b) shall state the
14        maximum number of offerors that are to be selected to
15        submit competitive phase-two proposals. The maximum
16        number specified in the solicitation shall not exceed 5
17        unless the Service Board with respect to an individual
18        solicitation determines that a specified number
19        greater than 5 is in the best interest of the Service
20        Board and is consistent with the purposes and
21        objectives of the two-phase design/build selection
22        process.
23            (v) All designs submitted as part of the two-phase
24        selection process and not selected shall be
