ARCHITECT AND ENGINEERING SERVICES
When considering the acquisition of architectural and engineering services the board of directors shall issue a notice in publication(s) of general circulation stating the general scope and nature of project(s) for which services are required. Effort shall be made to inform firms who employ minorities and/or women.
Interested firms will be requested to submit a statement of qualifications and performance data to enable the board to determine which architectural or engineering firm will best serve the needs of the district. Criteria for selection of a firm shall include, but not be limited to, quality and breadth of staff, design of similar projects, production capability, supervision and quality control, relationship with clients, cost estimates and budget control.
The superintendent is directed to establish necessary procedures to solicit and screen qualified engineers and architects. The superintendent shall recommend one or more firms to the board for its consideration. The board and the successful architectural or engineering firm shall enter into a contract for the necessary services. In the event of an emergency, the board may waive this selection process and secure such services as needed.
