As revised by the Commission to Revise the Annotated
Code, this subtitle consists of those provisions of
present Art. 41, §§231N through 231X, that relate to the
General Professional Services Selection Board and the
procurement of architectural and engineering services by
all State agencies other than the Department of
Transportation, its units, and the Maryland
Transportation Authority.
These same provisions of present Art. 41, §§231N et
seq., as they relate to the Transportation Professional
Services Selection Board and the procurement of
architectural and engineering services by the Department
of Transportation, its units, and the Maryland
Transportation Authority, appear as Title 2, Subtitle 3
of the Transportation Article.
Present Art. 41, §231X, which provides that the
subtitle does not affect the validity of contracts
existing on July 1, 1974, is deleted as unnecessary; in
this regard, see Section 12 of Ch. ___, Acts of 1977, to
similar effect.
As to notices required by this subtitle, see, also,
Order No. 6 of the Joint Standing Committee on
Administrative, Executive and Legislative Review,
September 26, 1975, which requires publication in the
Maryland Register of these notices. (Vol. 2, Maryland
Register, page 1364.)
Since the independence of the General Professional
Services Selection Board is critical to the exercise of
its functions, the Board has been excepted by this
revision from the provisions of Article 43, §231C(f),
relating to the Secretary's authority to exercise the
powers of units in the Department. Similar changes
relating to the Transportation Board also are made in
§2-103(f) and (g) of the Transportation Article.
Several questions as to the intent and scope of
certain provisions of this subtitle are noted in the
appropriate revisor's notes. The Commission also feels
that there are certain additional issues that deserve
legislative attention and study. These can be summarized
as follows:
(1) Should the term "architectural or
engineering services" be defined?
(2) To what extent does the Board have
jurisdiction over contracts that are under $25,000
originally, but that are increased by supplemental
agreements to an amount over that figure?
(3) If an original contract has been approved
under this subtitle, does a supplemental agreement to
that contract require Board review and recommendations?
What if the supplemental agreement itself costs over
