For projects that have <br /> special design requirements or are particularly complex, the selection board should <br /> have additional tecrJlical members. The board should be prepared to evaluate <br /> potential consultants, i.e., conduct interviews and inquiries as desired, and make <br /> recommendations. Based upon the recommendations of the board, the administrator or <br /> the governing body should make the final selection of the consultant(s). <br /> 7. POLICY FOR SELECTION.

The expected schedule of <br /> projects must be defined, together with the scope of work and the required <br /> services. The scope of work should be described in sufficient detail so that all <br /> parties ar~ adequately informed of the items to be accomplished. <br /> Chap 2 <br /> 6 Par 5 <br />
