			 be paid under the Contract does not exceed $100,000; or

			 Estimated Fee. For ODOT where a Project is being continued, as more
			 particularly described below, and where the Estimated Fee will not exceed
			 $250,000, the Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping,
			 Transportation Planning or Land Surveying Services or Related Services to be
			 performed under the Contract must meet the following requirements:
(A) The services consist of or are related to
			 Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping, Transportation Planning or
			 Land Surveying Services or Related Services that have been substantially
			 described, planned or otherwise previously studied in an earlier Contract with
			 the same Consultant and are rendered for the same Project as the Architectural,
			 Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping, Transportation Planning or Land Surveying
			 Services or Related Services rendered under the earlier Contract;
(B) The Estimated Fee to be made under the
			 Contract does not exceed $250,000; and
(C) ODOT used either the formal selection
			 procedure under OAR 731-148-0220  (Formal Selection Procedure) or the formal
			 selection procedure applicable to selection of the Consultant at the time of
			 original selection to select the Consultant for the earlier Contract;
			 or
(d) Continuation of
			 Project with Extensive Estimated Fee. For ODOT where a Project is being
			 continued, as more particularly described below, and where the Estimated Fee is
			 expected to exceed $250,000, the Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric
			 Mapping, Transportation Planning or Land Surveying Services or Related Services
			 to be performed under the Contract must meet the following requirements:
(A) The services consist of or are related to
			 Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping, Transportation Planning or
			 Land Surveying Services or Related Services that have been substantially
			 described, planned or otherwise previously studied under an earlier Contract
			 with the same Consultant and are rendered for the same Project as the
			 Architectural, Engineering, Photogrammetric Mapping, Transportation Planning or
			 Land Surveying Services or Related Services rendered under the earlier
			 Contract;
(B) ODOT used either the
			 formal selection procedure under OAR 731-148-0220  (Formal Selection Procedure)
			 or the formal selection procedure applicable to selection of the Consultant at
			 the time of original selection to select the Consultant for the earlier
			 Contract; and
(C) ODOT makes
			 written findings that entering into a Contract with the Consultant, whether in
			 the form of an amendment to an existing Contract or a separate Contract for the
			 additional scope of services, will:
(i)
			 Promote efficient use of public funds and resources and result in substantial
			 cost savings to ODOT; and,
(ii)
			 Protect the integrity of the Public Contracting process and the competitive
			 nature of the Procurement by not encouraging favoritism or substantially
			 diminishing competition in the award of the Contract.
