25 IAC 2-3-4 Fee proposals for design work; selection procedure for alternate contract designer

Sec. 4. The director shall recommend to the commissioner the fee proposed for the professional work. In making the fee proposal for this design work, the director shall consider the project as a whole, including its location, complexity, need for expediency, and aid to be given by the state in the design and control of construction. The various points considered in reaching the fee, be it a percentage of eventual cost or as a fixed amount, shall be reflected in the design contract itself. If, after a review of the project and negotiations as to scope and fee, an agreement is not reached, then: (1) the director shall report the circumstances to the commissioner; and (2) the commissioner shall decide whether to continue the negotiations or contact another designer recommended by the director according to section 3 of this rule.
