      s 384. Request for Qualifications - Publication of Announcement.

      (a) Where a project or Department need requires A&E services, the 
      Department may make a statewide announcement through the publications of 
      the respective professional societies, in a construction trade journal, or 
      publicize the requirements for services in other appropriate publications.

      The Department may also or as an alternative selectively advertise to 
      reach providers of services within the appropriate trade or profession by 
      publishing the announcement through electronic communications media which 
      support bulletin boards or Internet web sites that have demonstrated 
      statewide accessibility and are regularly maintained at established 
      addresses by professional organizations which are representative of the 
      services to be procured.

      Failure of any professional society or construction trade journal to 
      publish the announcement shall not invalidate any contract.

      (b) The announcement shall include information describing the project or 
      services, a Department contact for obtaining RFQs and the due date, time 
      and location for submission of SOQs. The announcement may also identify 
      the criteria upon which the award will be made. The announcement shall be 
      statewide and shall be made through publications of the respective 
      professional societies.

      (c) The Director shall endeavor to provide to all small business firms 
      that have indicated an interest in receiving such, a copy of each 
      announcement for work, projects or services for which the Director 
      concludes that small business firms could be especially qualified. A 
      failure of the Director to send a copy of an announcement to any firm 
      shall not operate to preclude any contract.

      (d) If the Department has received at least three SOQs from qualified 
      firms through the announcement issue pursuant to Section 381.1, the 
      Director may waive the statewide announcement required in subdivision (a) 
      of this section.

      (e) The Director shall disseminate RFQs to those firms responding to the 
      announcement and to qualified firms providing SOQs pursuant to Section 
      381.1. The RFQs shall include a description of the project, the criteria 
      upon which the award shall be made, the due date, SOQ submission and 
      contract requirements. The RFQs may also provide for the award of multiple 
      contracts if the selection procedure is sufficiently described in the RFQ 
      and the award otherwise complies with the provisions of this subchapter.
