5-404 : Contracts for professional services.
- In the procurement of architectural and engineering services, the board of commissioners or a selection committee or procurement official appointed by the board may seek qualifications and experience data from any firm(s) licensed in this state and interview such firm(s). The board, selection committee or procurement official shall evaluate statements of qualifications and experience data regarding the procurement of architectural and engineering services, and shall conduct discussions with such firm or firms regarding the furnishing of required services and then shall select the firm deemed to be qualified to provide the services required, which need not be based on the lowest compensation.
- The board, selection committee or procurement official shall negotiate a contract with the qualified firm for architectural and engineering services at compensation which the selection committee or procurement official determines to be fair and reasonable to the city. In making such determination, the board, selection committee or procurement official shall take into account the estimated value of the services to be rendered, the scope of work, complexity and professional nature thereof.
- Should the board, selection committee or procurement official be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the firm considered to be qualified, at a price determined to be fair and reasonable, negotiations will continue with other qualified firms until an agreement is reached.
- When the city has a satisfactory existing working relationship with a qualified firm for architectural or engineering services, the city may expand the scope of the services; provided, that they are within the technical competency of the existing firm, without exercising this section.
