Bill > HB5654

This bill modifies the procedures for selecting architectural, engineering, and land surveying services for state contracts in Michigan. From January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2032, it requires state agencies to use a qualifications-based selection process for these services when the estimated cost is $250,000 or more. This process involves publishing a notice, evaluating statements of interest and qualifications, conducting discussions, ranking the most qualified firms, and negotiating a fair and reasonable contract. The bill provides exceptions for emergency situations and energy conservation projects, and requires the state to submit annual reports on the outcomes of these new procedures.
