A bid approach is one where the owner selects a certain number of General Contractors to price a set of contract documents, specifications, and drawings that has been completely designed. The General Contractors invite a list of subcontractors and supply vendors to price their scope of work. This approach puts the owner and contractor at greater risk.
Negotiated / Design Build approach is a TEAM approach, where the owner, contractor, and architect/engineer work together to design and build a project that satisfies the needs of the owner. This TEAM approach focuses on solving problems with the owner's best interest in mind.
