§ 2980.6. Estimate of Value of Services.

Before any discussion with any firm concerning fees for services provided in connection with a particular project, the Executive Officer shall cause an estimate of the value of such services to be prepared. This estimate shall serve as a guide in determining fair and reasonable compensation for the services rendered. Such estimate shall be, and remain, confidential until award of contract or abandonment of any further procedure for the services to which it relates. At any time the Executive Officer determines the State's estimates to be unrealistic due to rising costs, special conditions, or for other relevant considerations, the estimate shall be reevaluated and modified if necessary.
