AI Summary
This bill amends the Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications Based Selection Act to exempt certain smaller contracts from standard public notice, evaluation, and selection procedures. Specifically, for architectural, engineering, and land surveying contracts where the estimated basic professional services fee is below a defined "maximum estimated basic professional services fee," these procedures will not apply. This maximum fee is set at $40,000 for contracts entered into between the bill's effective date and January 1, 2027. After January 1, 2027, this maximum fee will be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index-u, which is a measure of inflation for goods and services used by urban consumers, and rounded to the nearest $10. This change aims to streamline the contracting process for smaller projects.
