2020 Connecticut General Statutes|Title 2 - General Assembly and Legislative Agencies|Chapter 18a - Joint Committee on Legislative Management|Section 2-71q - Procedures for selection of design professional services or construction manager.

 Whenever a design professional or design professional services or a construction manager are required by the Joint Committee on Legislative Management for any purpose other than in fulfilling its obligation under section 4b-60, the following procedures shall be followed:(1) The committee shall invite responses from design professionals or construction managers by advertisements inserted at least once in one or more newspapers having a general circulation in the state. The responses received shall be considered by the committee which shall select from among those responding the five professionals or managers which in its opinion are most qualified to perform the required design professional or management services.(2) The committee may negotiate a contract with the most qualified design professional or construction manager on the list, in its judgment, at compensation which it determines is both fair and reasonable. If the committee is unable to conclude a contract with any of the design professionals or construction managers selected, it shall issue a finding giving the reasons for such inability and may negotiate with any design professional or construction manager which it determines to be most qualified to perform the services at fair and reasonable compensation. In determining fair and reasonable compensation, the committee shall consider, in the following order of importance, the professional competence of the design professional or construction manager, the technical merits of the proposal, the ability of the firm to perform the required services within the time and budgetary limits of the contract and the price for which the services are to be rendered.(3) As used in this section, “design professional” means any architect, professional engineer, landscape architect, land surveyor or interior designer who is registered to practice his profession in accordance with the applicable provisions of the general statutes; and “design professional services” means those professional services rendered by architects, professional engineers, landscape architects, land surveyors or interior designers, as well as incidental services that members of such professions and those in their employ are authorized to perform.(P.A. 84-48, S. 7, 17; P.A. 98-235, S. 7.)History: P.A. 98-235 redefined “design professional” to include interior designers and redefined “design professional services” to include services rendered by interior designers.

No agreement or contract may be extended more than one time under this section.(b) On and after July 1, 2015, the committee shall not extend any personal service agreement or contract based on competitive negotiation under subsection (a) of this section unless such agreement or contract requires, or is modified to require, the personal service contractor or contractor, and each subcontractor of such personal service contractor or contractor, to pay each of the personal service contractor's, contractor's or subcontractor's employees providing services under such agreement or contract, and that are performed or rendered at the Legislative Office Building or the State Capitol, a wage of at least (1) fifteen dollars per hour, or (2) if applicable, the amount required to be paid under subsection (b) of section 31-57f, whichever is greater.
