Creates provisions for master agreements between the office of administration for architecture, engineering, or land-surveying

HB 167 creates a process for the state's Division of Facilities Management to establish "master agreements" with architecture, engineering, and land-surveying firms for ongoing, as-needed services. These agreements allow the state to hire qualified firms for projects under $100,000 each, with a total annual value capped at $1 million. The bill requires a public qualification process (including 10 days online notice and two newspaper ads) and sets master agreements for no longer than two years. Each specific project under the agreement is then finalized through a separate "task order" outlining scope and cost. This directly affects state agencies and service providers by streamlining procurement for smaller projects.
