NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Subsection 63-56-14(2) provides for the State Building Board to adopt rules governing the procurement of architect-engineer services by the Division of Facilities Construction and Management (DFCM). Subsection 63A-5-103(1)(e) authorizes the Building Board to make rules necessary to discharge its duties and those of DFCM.

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received however, a review of the procurement process governed by this rule was conducted with the participation of representatives of the architect and engineer professions along with legislators, Building Board members, and DFCM staff. This resulted in some recommendations for changes in the process used. Amendments are currently filed for this rule to reflect the recommendations of this review.

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

This rule is necessary to provide additional detail for the application of the State Procurement Code in the procurement of architect-engineer services by DFCM. Therefore, this rule should be continued.
