Q

What’s the focus of 255.20?

A
  1. 20 is the lynchpin of 287.055.
  2. 20 requires LG competitively award to an appropriately licensed Ktor on each project construction exceeding $300k & electrical $75k.

By sealed bids, or proposals submitted in response to RFP or RFQs & submitted for competitive negotiation.

Includes construction management services, design/build contracts, continuation contracts based on unit prices, and any other K per LG ordinance.

If done by negotiation, must comply w/ CCNA. You’d be doing an RFQ anyway (where price cd be a non-predominant factor), now it requires the formality of minimum of 3, etc.
