A strong argument can be made that

A strong argument can be made that no matter how well the technical portion of the RFP is written, the success of the DB project really depends on the people and organizations that are selected to execute it. If an owner is pressed for time in getting a DB project's RFP advertised, it should probably be more careful about the development of the management criteria than anything else. This is because a really good designer teamed with a highly experienced builder can probably sort out the technical issues regardless of the quality of the RFP's technical requirements. This is somewhat counterintuitive to the traditional way of thinking, but the owner must remember that it is hiring a design-builder to both design and build the project. Therefore, it is incumbent upon the design-builder to ensure the ultimate performance of a properly scoped project.
