Chapter 8. Facilities Management
Section 8.7. Planning, Engineering, and Construction
Selection of Architects/Engineers: A process designed to select a professional service contractor for the project from interested and qualified firms.
Facilities Management maintains a file of the credentials of professional services firms who have contacted the University, and expressed an interest in working for it. This practice makes it incumbent upon the firms desiring to work for the University to express their interest and maintain a relationship with the University.
Architectural and engineering firms are screened on a basis of such factors as professional excellence, demonstrated competence, specialized experience of the firm, education and experience of key personnel, staff capability, work load, ability to meet schedules and cost estimates, principals to be assigned, nature and quality of completed work, and ability to translate the client's program into a completed project in a timely, effective manner, and within budget.
Additional items used in evaluation are performance, records of previous work, reliability, willingness to make a commitment to work on the campus - such as to physically work on the site with University personnel rather than endeavor to interact long distance via letter, memo, and telephone. Other primary considerations are continuity of firm, location, professional awards, cost, and other considerations deemed relevant.
