T _ L nu . . 11 p- :In Reply-:-....._- In Reply Refer to: B-19 6 6 4 1 February 27, 1980 Office of General Cot insel Mr, Philip Gi. Read A*-I Director, Federal Procurement .' Aegulations Directorate Office of Acquisition Policy General Services Administration It v, .1: . Dear Mr. Read: You requested our comments on proposed amendments to FPR, Subparts 1-1.10, Publicizilng Procurement Actions and 1-4.10, Architect-Engineer Services. The proposed amendments relate to the publication of notices for architect-engiueer services in the Commerce Business Qaily (CUD) and the selection of architect-engineer firms by use of design competition including total economic lIfe cycle cost projections. FPR § 1-1003-7(b)(9) The anendment sets fortY, information which is required to be placed by the contrat;Ling officer in notices in the CBD for architect-engineer services. Since agency heads are responsible under FPR 9 1-4.1005-1 for tie negotiation of contractn for architect-engineer services, unless such responsibility has been delegated, we believe references by the amendment to the contracting officer should be changed to the agency head or iuthorized representative. FPR § 1-4.1001 (a) The proposed amendment' revises the wording and organ- ization of the existing prov'isions of section 1-4.1001 and inserts the word related between the words neclotiatO and contracts. We do not understand why this change has been made in the existing provisions which 'restated the policy contained in Public Law 92-582, October 27, 1972. We therefore recommend that the existing provisions of [FPR § 1-4.1001 be retained and designated subsection (a). r t' -r .1'? K I
