DIVISION 248

CONSULTANT SELECTION: ARCHITECTURAL, ENGINEERING, LAND
SURVEYING SERVICES AND RELATED SERVICES CONTRACTS

125-248-0100

Application

(1) In addition to the general requirements set forth in Division 246 of these Rules, the Rules in this Division 248 apply to:

(a) The screening and selection of Architects, Engineers, Photogrammetrists, Transportation Planners, Land Surveyors, and Providers of Related Services under Contracts, and set forth the procedures through which Authorized Agencies select Consultants to perform Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping, Transportation Planning and Land Surveying Services or Related Services; and

(b) Two-tiered procedures for selection of Architects, Engineers, Photogrammetrists, Transportation Planners, Land Surveyors and Providers of Related Services for certain Public Improvements owned and maintained by a Local Government.

(2) In the event of conflict or ambiguity, the more specific requirements of the Rules in this Division 248 take precedence over the more general requirements of the Rules in Division 246.

(3) The Rules as a whole implement the Oregon Public Contracting Code, as defined in ORS 279A.010, and this Division 248 of the Rules specifically addresses matters covered in ORS Chapter 279C.110 through 279C.125.

(4) Delegation of authority for these contracts must be according to OAR 125-246-0170.

(5) The dollar Threshold amounts that are applicable to the Direct Appointment Procedure, OAR 125-248-0200, the Informal Selection Procedure, OAR 125-248-0210, and the Formal Selection Procedure, OAR 125-248-220, are independent from and have no effect on the dollar Threshold amounts that trigger the legal sufficiency review requirement for Agencies under ORS 291.047.

(6) For purposes of these Division 248 Rules, the Department adopts the following Model Public Contract Rules: OAR 137-048-0110, 137-048-0120, 137-048-0130, 137-048-0200, 137-048-0210, 137-048-0220, 137-048-0230, 137-048-0240, 137-048-0250, 137-048-0260, 137-048-0300, 137-048-0310, 137-048-0320.

Contract Form; Prohibited Payment Methodology; Purchase Restrictions

(1) See OAR 137-048-0300.

(2) Contract Forms. The Department must develop and maintain a standard Contract form and an Amendment form, which must be used by the Authorized Agencies in completing all Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping, Transportation Planning and Land Surveying Services and Related Services Contracts. These forms can be obtained from the Department. Authorized Agencies must review the approved Contract form and Amendment form at least every two years. If upon review the Authorized Agency revises either form, the Authorized Agency must obtain approval from its Designated Procurement Officer and the approval of the Attorney General for legal sufficiency according to ORS 291.047.

125-248-0330

Special Contract Processes

(1) Consultants for Agreements-To-Agree must be selected, and the Authorized Agency must obtain Architectural, Engineering and Land Surveying and Related Services by selecting a Consultant or Consultants in the following manner:

(a) The Authorized Agency selects one or more Consultants under the applicable provisions of OAR 125-248-0200, 125-248-0210, or 125-248-0220.

(b) The Authorized Agency develops a document that includes the general provisions required under OAR 125-248-300 and a specific Statement of Work for each anticipated Contract under the Agreement-To-Agree document.

(c) When the Authorized Agency selects more than one Consultant under the Agreement-To-Agree Solicitation process, the Authorized Agency must identify a standard in the Solicitation Document and the Agreement-to-Agree to be used in assigning particular Architectural, Engineering and Land Surveying and or Related Services under the Agreements-To-Agree.

(2) Design-Build Contracts involve the provision of both design and construction services for Public Improvements under one Contract. Under most circumstances, Design-Build Contracts are Mixed Contracts with the predominate purpose of the Contract involving construction of the Public Improvement. If the predominate purpose of the Contract is to obtain Architectural, Engineering and Land Surveying and Related Services, selection may proceed under these division 248 rules, so long as the requirements of OAR 125-248-0300 are not violated. Otherwise, the selection process will require an exemption from competitive bidding under ORS 279C, unless the Design-Build Contract is to be awarded to the Responsible Bidder submitting the lowest Responsive Bid.
