Webinar: Contracting for Architectural and Engineering Services

For those of you who missed the free webinar on August 30, 2011 sponsored by the Municipal Research and Services Center (MRSC) of Washington, you can now listen to and watch a streaming version of the 90 minute webinar online.

Webinar Panelists:
Webinar Questions:  The panelists in the webinar took turns answering the following five questions:
  1. Do you feel that Qualifications Based Selection (QBS) for A/E consultants is a good business practice?
  2. What professional disciplines does QBS selection apply to, and should it be used for some non-A/E contracts?
  3. What are the advance notification provisions of Chapter 39.80 RCW, and how have they been applied correctly and incorrectly?
  4. Do you feel that agencies select directly from their A/E consultant rosters more frequently than they should?
  5. What are some best practices for agencies to follow in their requests for qualifications, requests for proposals, interviews, and contract negotiations?
