We have a client that has the Owners Project Requirements (OPR) but no Basis of Design (BOD). Is it acceptable for the OPR to be used in place of the BOD?

Robert, The OPR comes from the client. The BoD is a response to the OPR and is the A/E team saying how they are going to meet the OPR. It is not acceptable to use the OPR in lieu of the BoD. Susan

I concur with Susan, you need to submit both the OPR and the BOD.
