ARCHITECT - ENGINEER - PROCUREMENT
Length: 3 Day(s) | Units: 2.5 CEUs | Cost: $992.00
This course is for procurement officials, lawyers, senior architects and engineers that procure architect-engineer services and develop architect-engineer contracts. It explains how retaining the professional services of architects and engineers differs from contracting with other service providers and teaches the government approved system for doing so. We use the Federal Acquisition Regulations coupled with years of practical experience in demonstrating how to procure commercial architects and engineers. We begin with the pre-solicitation planning and how to prepare a solicitation for FedBizOpps. The solicitation phase is followed by pre-qualifications, preparing a request for proposal, conducting the pre-proposal conference, receipt of proposals, evaluations, oral presentations and evaluations, and signing the contract. This comprehensive three-day course enables the participant to deal effectively with the numerous issues associated with A-E selection and achieving the optimal use of these commercial service providers. This course can be adapted to meet the special needs of an agency and local procurement rules.
