				  legal entity possessing the qualifications to provide licensed architectural,
				  registered engineering, or registered land surveying services or possessing

				  method in which the Department procures both design and construction services

				  costs and must provide a firm fixed price in its proposal.

				  a state agency which reviews the proposals with the Technical Review Committee
				  of the short-listed firms for the purpose of receiving the recommendation from
				  the Technical Review Committee to ultimately select the firm to be awarded the
				  project. The board shall be proctored by a representative of the Department.
