				  professional services under this Section if the contract is for specified
				  professional services by an architect or architect firm and the contract amount
				  is $250,000 or less or if the contract is for specified professional services
				  by a person other than an architect and the contract amount is $500,000 or
				  less. For such procurements, the school district shall encourage persons
				  engaged in the lawful practice of the profession to submit annually a statement

				  current statements of qualifications and experience on file with the school
				  district, together with those that may be submitted by other persons regarding
				  the procurement.
D. The school
				  district and the selection committee shall not request or consider fees, price,
				  man-hours or any other cost information at any point in the selection process
				  under this Section, including the selection of the persons to be interviewed,
				  the selection of persons to be on a final list, in determining the order of
				  preference of persons on a final list or for any other purpose in the selection
				  process, except as provided in subsection (F).
E. If possible and practicable, the selection
				  committee shall conduct interviews regarding the procurement and the relative
				  methods of furnishing the required specified professional services and, if
				  possible, shall select, in order of preference and based on criteria
				  established and published by the selection committee, one or more final lists
				  of the persons deemed to be the most qualified to provide the specified
				  professional services required. The selection committee shall base the
				  selection of each final list and the order of preference on demonstrated
				  competence and qualifications only.

				  procurement is for a single contract or if the procurement is for multiple
				  contracts to be awarded to a single person, there shall be one final list of
				  three persons.
2. If the
				  procurement is for multiple contracts for different specified professional
				  services to be awarded to separate persons, there shall be a separate final
				  list of three persons for each contract.

				  for similar specified professional services to be awarded to separate persons,
				  there shall be one final list and the number of persons on the final list shall
				  be the number of contracts, plus another number that is determined by the
				  school district and that is not more than five.
