18- 554 C.M.R. ch. 11, § IV-31
Summary: This section contains requirements relating to contracts entered into between the Bureau and qualified professionals.
Before the Bureau enters into a single source contract with a qualified professional pursuant to this Chapter, the qualified professional shall inform the Bureau whether any information contained in the application submitted by the qualified professional, pursuant to section 12, supra, of this Chapter, has changed.
Fees shall be determined for all professional services by the Bureau's acceptance of a negotiated, detailed written fee proposal submitted by the professional.
In entering into a contract under this Chapter, the Bureau and the qualified professional shall agree upon a maximum dollar amount, where applicable, for reimbursable, or so-called "out of pocket," expenses.
The Bureau may contract with more than one licensed or credentialed qualified professional to perform work on a single project. Further, on a single project, the Bureau may enter into more than one contract with a qualified professional, so long as the value of the contracts for that single project do not exceed $25,000 in the aggregate.
The Bureau's entering into negotiations to contract with a qualified professional under this Chapter does not in any way require the Bureau to in fact contract with that qualified professional.
