(a)
				  Where a project or Department need requires A&E services, the Department
				  may make a statewide announcement through the publications of the respective
				  professional societies, in a construction trade journal, or publicize the
				  requirements for services in other appropriate publications.
The Department may also or as an alternative selectively
					 advertise to reach providers of services within the appropriate trade or
					 profession by publishing the announcement through electronic communications
					 media which support bulletin boards or Internet web sites that have
					 demonstrated statewide accessibility and are regularly maintained at
					 established addresses by professional organizations which are representative of
					 the services to be procured.
Failure of any professional society or construction trade
					 journal to publish the announcement shall not invalidate any
					 contract.
(b) The
				  announcement shall include information describing the project or services, a
				  Department contact for obtaining RFQs and the due date, time and location for
				  submission of SOQs. The announcement may also identify the criteria upon which
				  the award will be made. The announcement shall be statewide and shall be made
				  through publications of the respective professional societies.
(c) The Director shall endeavor to provide to
				  all small business firms that have indicated an interest in receiving such, a
				  copy of each announcement for work, projects or services for which the Director
				  concludes that small business firms could be especially qualified. A failure of
				  the Director to send a copy of an announcement to any firm shall not operate to
				  preclude any contract.
(d) If the
				  Department has received at least three SOQs from qualified firms through the
				  announcement issue pursuant to Section
				  381.1, the Director may waive the
				  statewide announcement required in subdivision (a) of this section.
(e) The Director shall disseminate RFQs to
				  those firms responding to the announcement and to qualified firms providing
				  SOQs pursuant to Section
				  381.1. The RFQs shall include a
				  description of the project, the criteria upon which the award shall be made,
				  the due date, SOQ submission and contract requirements. The RFQs may also
				  provide for the award of multiple contracts if the selection procedure is
				  sufficiently described in the RFQ and the award otherwise complies with the
				  provisions of this subchapter.
