The Board may select qualified firm(s) and negotiate contract(s) for architectural, engineering and
land surveying services for the various building projects in the school district. Selection shall be
made on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualifications for the types of services specified
by the district at fair and reasonable prices.
In selecting such firm(s), the following criteria will be considered:
► Training, specialized experience and technical competence, including that of partners and
associates, demonstrated either with the district or elsewhere with respect to the type of
services desired by the Board.
► Planning ability, efficiency and promptness of the firm(s), including the capacity and
capability of the firm(s) to perform the tasks requested, as well as any specialized services,
within the time limitations established for the completion of the project.
► Demonstrated educational specifications writing, to include accuracy and sufficiency of
detail.
► Inspection of job effectiveness, to include an analysis of the past record of performance of
the firm(s) with respect to control of costs, quality of work, design, appearance, utility and
the ability to meet time schedules.
► Proximity to and familiarity with the geographical area in which the project shall be located.
When considering the need for architectural, engineering and/or land surveying services, the Board
or designee shall prepare a written description of the services desired by the district. Interested firms
may be requested to submit statements of their qualifications and performance data with respect to
the above criteria and also to submit a fee schedule. The Board or designee shall analyze the data
received and list the top three (3) qualified firms. The Board shall select the firm(s) considered best
qualified and capable of performing the desired services and shall negotiate a contract. Should the
Board be unable to negotiate a contract with the firm(s) first selected, the Board may negotiate a
contract with another firm from the list, or may direct the superintendent to seek additional
statements of qualifications from other firm(s) and then submit a new list of qualified firms.
