摘要:

There is a need for further improvement in the selection and procurement of architect‐engineer (A‐E) services by federal agencies. The alternatives for strengthening this process involve the use of competitive negotiation techniques. Professional excellence is emphasized and fee is considered only after excellence and interest have been established.
