- (a) Where a project requires architectural, landscape architectural, engineering, environmental, land surveying, or construction project management services, the department shall make an announcement through a publication of the respective professional society, if any exist, in a construction trade journal or, if none exist, in other appropriate publications that are published within a reasonable time frame such that a lengthy publication delay does not adversely affect the project.
- (b) The announcement shall contain the following information: The nature of the work, the criteria upon which the award shall be made, and the time within which statements of interest, qualification and performance data will be received.
- (c) The department shall endeavor to provide to all small business firms who have indicated an interest in receiving such, a copy of each announcement for projects for which the department concludes that small business firms could be especially qualified.
