色虎视频

In accordance with Chapter 8 of the Missouri Revised Statutes, as well as any applicable Code of State Regulations, the 色虎视频 Board of Curators has adopted the following policies and procedures for selecting architectural, engineering and land surveying firms (all referred to below as “firms”):

A. Contracts and Fees

It shall be the policy of 色虎视频 to negotiate contracts with firms for services based on the qualifications needed for the type of service required and at fair and reasonable prices.

B. Qualifications of Firms

It shall be the policy of 色虎视频 to actively seek firms engaged in the lawful practice of their professions through broad advertising (statewide). For major projects, the firms interested shall submit statements of their qualifications and performance record. Whenever a proposed project requires the expertise of a firm, 色虎视频 will also notify firms who have expressed an interest and who have their qualifications on record. 色虎视频 shall use the following criteria in evaluating the qualifications of each firm:

1. The specialized experience and technical competence of the firm with respect to the type of service required;

2. The capacity and capability of the firm to perform the work in question, including specialized services, within the time limitations fixed for the completion of the project;

3. The past record of performance and the firm to produce the end product at an agreed upon cost, quality of work, and ability to meet schedules; and

4. The firm’s proximity to and familiarity with the area in which the project is located.

C. Projects

1. Major Projects: Those projects with an expenditure exceeding $150,000. Contracts for major projects shall be approved by the Board of Curators and signed by the President of the University.

2. Minor Projects: Those projects with an expenditure less than $150,000. Contracts for minor projects shall be signed by the President of the University and do not require Board approval.

D. Advisory Committee

1. Major Projects: The advisory committee for each major project shall be composed of the Director of Facilities and Planning, the facilities staff, a representative(s) designated by the President and a representative(s) of the functional area in which the project is located. It shall be the policy of the Board of Curators that the president will send the names and addresses of all firms to be contacted, along with the Request for Proposal, to the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Curators for their information. The advisory committee will send out the Request for Proposals. Once the proposals are received, the advisory committee shall review the information at hand and the scope of work, conduct the interviews with the principals of the firms and make a recommendation in rank order to the President through the VPAF. The Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Curators shall review the President’s recommendations and send its recommendation to the full Board for action.

2. Minor Projects: The advisory committee shall be composed of the Director of Facilities and Planning, the facilities staff, a representative designated by the President and a representative of the functional area in which the project is located. The advisory committee shall review all information at hand and the scope of work prior to conducting interviews with the firms. The advisory committee shall select three (3) firms from the original group and place them in ranked order and send them as a recommendation to the President through the VPAF. The President shall make the final decision.

E. Interview Presentation

Each firm shall be asked to submit to the advisory committee a comprehensive written proposal demonstrating its methods and experience related to the project, which principals shall be assigned to the project, the consultants to be used, a schedule of document preparation, estimating procedures, services to be rendered during construction, and any other information helpful in determining how well the particular firm is qualified to do the job. The Advisory Committee will first evaluate the submissions for each firm and select the top three (3) to five (5) firms to be interviewed. If three (3) or less firms show interest, all the firms will be interviewed.

F. Contract Negotiation

1. The advisory committee, in consultation with the VPAF and upon approval of the Board of Curators, shall proceed with the fee negotiations with the identified firm. The VPAF or her/his designee shall negotiate the contract. If the parties reach an agreement, a contract shall be signed, and the other firms shall be promptly advised.

2. If the first-ranked firm’s proposal is not satisfactory, negotiations shall be initiated with the second-ranked firm. Again, if the 

negotiations are unsatisfactory, the committee shall negotiate with the third-ranked firm. If these negotiations prove unsatisfactory, the process of identifying and selection shall start over.

3. The proceedings of the selection process shall be conducted in accordance with the closed records policy of the University. (See Chapter I, Section 1.08.)

G. University Files for Firms and Projects

1. The Director of Facilities and Planning shall maintain a file of firms that are potential consultants for doing projects for 色虎视频. Companies on this list will be notified of opportunities at the same time as projects are advertised in the newspapers. The primary purpose of this list is for emergency needs and for smaller projects that are below the advertising bid threshold.

2. The Director of Facilities and Planning shall prepare, annually, a list of all firms used in the preceding year for review by the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Curators.

3. When a construction project is proposed, the Facilities and Planning Team shall prepare a description of the project, including the Scope of Work, the identification of applicable campus standards, relationship of campus development plans, a timetable and a budget.

4. The advisory committee, in consultation with the Director of Facilities and Planning, shall prepare a list of firms from the file for the proposed project. Selection of the firms shall be based on preliminary review comparing the nature of the job with the experience of the firms, costs and other significant factors.

5. The firms selected shall be sent a description of the project and a questionnaire designed to obtain more detailed information related to the firm’s qualifications for the specific project.

6. Except for major projects, the President shall delegate to the VPAF responsibility to adopt procedures appropriate for each assignment that shall assure opportunities for a number of qualified firms. The VPAF shall present periodic reports to the President giving assurance that these standards are being met.

7. Firms to be selected for projects of any size that involve significant architectural or engineering questions, redesign of the exterior of the building, major engineering and site planning, or change in interior spaces of significant architectural or engineering importance as determined by the VPAF and approved by the President, shall be reviewed with the Board of Curators before an assignment is made.
