If the Executive Officer determines it is necessary or desirable for the project to be performed in separate phases, the Executive Officer may negotiate a partial compensation for the initial phase of the services required; provided, however, that the Executive Officer first determines that the firm selected is best qualified to perform the entire project. The contract shall include a provision that the Conservancy may, at its option, utilize the firm to perform other phases of the services at a compensation which the Conservancy determines is fair and reasonable, to be later negotiated and included in a mutually acceptable written agreement. In the event that the Conservancy exercises its option under the contract to utilize the firm to perform other phases of the project, the procedures of this Chapter with regard to estimates of value of services and negotiation shall similarly be followed.
