a) Design/Build
1) The design/build project delivery process
			 is a process characterized for its single point of responsibility in managing,
			 directing and coordinating the design and construction of a project whereby an
			 entity signs a single contract with a client to provide a combination of
			 services that includes architectural and construction services. Design, as used
			 in the term design/build identifying the project delivery process, shall mean
			 architectural services.
2) The
			 design/build entity will not be required to register as a professional design
			 firm pursuant to Section 21 of the Act and Section
			 1150.80
			 of this Part only if the architectural services in the design/build project
			 delivery process are provided by the entity in accordance with the following:
A) An Illinois licensed architect practicing
			 as a sole proprietorship or a professional design firm registered in Illinois
			 to offer the practice of architecture, as set forth in Section 21 of the Act
			 and Section
			 1150.80
			 of this Part, independently contracts with the entity and participates
			 substantially in all material aspects of the offering and providing of
			 architectural services relating to any bid process, contract negotiations,
			 design, consultation, development, preparation and coordination of technical
			 submissions, and verification of adherence to technical submissions and
			 completion.
B) At the time of
			 offering services, a written disclosure shall be given to the client by the
			 entity identifying the architect who will be engaged by and is contractually
			 responsible to the entity offering design/build project services.
C) The entity agrees that the architect will
			 have direct supervision of the architectural work and the architect's services
			 will not be terminated on the project without the immediate replacement by
			 another architect mutually agreed to by the client and the entity.
3) A design/build entity shall not
			 offer to provide or provide architectural services, unless the design/build
			 entity is an Illinois licensed architect practicing as a sole proprietorship or
			 registered professional design firm offering architectural services. Offering
			 to provide architectural services shall include, but shall not necessarily be
			 limited to, any tender of architectural services either independently or in
			 combination with construction services by any sign, card, advertisement or
			 other device that might indicate to the public that the entity is entitled to
			 provide architectural services. However, an entity that is not an Illinois
			 licensed architect practicing as a sole proprietorship or registered
			 professional design firm offering architectural services may advertise the
			 design/build project delivery process provided the advertisement does not imply
			 to the public that the entity by itself is either entitled or qualified to
			 offer or provide design services.
