  • Section 2879 of the public authorities law

    It is the policy of New York state to negotiate contracts for archi- tectural services and/or engineering services and/or geological services and/or landscape architectural services and/or surveying services on the basis of demonstrated competence and qualification for the type of professional services required and at fair and reasonable fees. In the procurement of architectural, engineering, geological, land- scape architectural and surveying services, the corporation is required to encourage professional firms engaged in the lawful practice of the profession to submit an annual statement of qualifications and perform- ance data. The corporation for each proposed project is required to evaluate current statements of qualifications and performance data on file with the corporation. If desired, the corporation may conduct discussions with three or more professional firms regarding anticipated design concepts and proposed methods of approach to the assignment. The italics corporation is required to select, in order of preference, based upon criteria established by the corporation, no less than three professional firms deemed to be the most highly qualified to provide the services required. Every corporation is required to negotiate a contract with the highest qualified professional firm for architectural services and/or engineer- ing services and/or geological services and/or landscape architectural services and/or surveying services at compensation which the corporation determines in writing to be fair and reasonable to such corporation. In making this decision, the corporation is required to take into account the estimated value of the services to be rendered, including the costs, the scope, complexity and professional nature thereof. Should the corporation choose to engage in a qual- ification based procurement and be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the professional firm considered to be the most qualified, at a fee the corporation determines to be fair and reasonable to the corporation, negotiations with that professional firm shall be formally terminated. The corporation shall then undertake negotiations with the second most qualified professional firm. Failing accord with the second most qualified professional firm, the corporation shall formally termi- nate negotiations. The corporation shall then undertake negotiations with the third most qualified professional firm. Should the corporation be unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with any of the selected professional firms, it shall select additional professional firms in order of their competence and qualifications and it shall continue nego- tiations in accordance with this section until an agreement is reached. The provisions of this subparagraph shall only apply to engineering services and/or architectural services and/or geological services and/or landscape architectural services and/or surveying services in excess of twenty-five thousand dollars and shall not apply to the metropolitan transportation authority, the New York city transit authority or the Triborough bridge and tunnel authority or to any of their subsidiaries.
