Bill > HB167

This bill creates provisions for master agreements between the Office of Administration's Division of Facilities Management, Design and Construction for architecture, engineering, and land surveying services. A master agreement is defined as a contract for professional services that can be used for multiple projects over a set period with an undefined quantity. The bill allows the division to establish these agreements through a qualification-based selection process for projects estimated to cost up to $100,000. The division must publish a request for qualifications on its website for at least ten days and in a local newspaper for two consecutive weeks. Master agreements can be awarded based on number, geographic region, or project type, and will be evaluated using existing qualification criteria. Each master agreement can last up to two years, with a total service value not exceeding $1 million annually. The agreements will include predetermined terms, fee schedules, and hourly rates, with specific project details to be outlined in individual task orders issued by the division. This approach provides flexibility for procuring professional services while maintaining a structured selection and contracting process.
