GENERAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES SELECTION BOARD
To offer an equitable method for awarding State contracts for goods or services needed by Maryland government, General Professional Services Selection Board was established in 1974 (Chapter 732, Acts of 1974). Formerly under Facilities Planning, Design, and Construction, Board moved in October 1993 to Services and Logistics, now Procurement and Logistics.
Board recommended award of architectural and engineering service contracts to Board of Public Works on certain State-financed capital projects for which the design fee exceeds $100,000. For professional service contracts, Secretary designated a committee to review qualifications of architectural and engineering firms, and rank qualified firms. Another committee conducts preliminary negotiations. Board approved ranking of firms and results of these negotiations with most qualified firms at a price Board determined to be fair, competitive, and reasonable.
Four permanent members and one floating member constituted Board. Permanent members were Secretary of General Services or designee; one member chosen by Governor from within Department upon recommendation of Secretary; and two members appointed to five-year terms by Governor. Floating member was head or designee of State agency that proposed to procure architectural or engineering services (Code State Finance & Procurement Article, secs. 13-201 through 13-218).
