DBB Paradigm: Prior to bidding, _____ undertakes a process to design the project, including all of its details, to 100% complete plans and specs.

Explanation:
In Design-Bid-Build, the design phase is led by the design professional hired by the owner, producing the 100% complete construction documents before bidding. The owner defines the project program and funds the project, but does not create the final drawings and specs. The architect, often with engineers for specialized systems, develops the full set of plans and specifications. The contractor then bids and, later, constructs to those documents. So the person undertaking the design process to 100% complete plans and specs is the architect (with the engineering team), not the owner.
