(b) At any time the Director determines the Department's estimate to be unrealistic for any reason, the Director shall require the estimate to be reevaluated and, if deemed necessary, modified.

s 4731. Negotiation.

(a) From among the firms selected in Section 4728, as most highly qualified to perform the services required, the Director shall attempt to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the best qualified firm at a compensation which the Department determines is fair and reasonable.

(b) If the Director is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the best qualified firm at a compensation which the Department determines is fair and reasonable, negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and negotiations undertaken with the second best qualified firm. If unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the second best qualified firm at a compensation which the Department determines is fair and reasonable, negotiations with that firm shall be terminated and negotiations undertaken with the third best qualified firm. If unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with the third best qualified firm at a compensation which the Department determines is fair and reasonable, negotiations with that firm shall be terminated.

(c) Where the Director is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract in accordance with subsections (a) and (b), the Director shall continue the negotiations process with the remaining qualified firms, if any, in order of preference, until a satisfactory contract is reached.

Note: Authority cited: Section 4526, Government Code. References: Sections 4526 and 4528, Government Code.



s 4733. Contracting in Phases.

Where the Director determines it is necessary or desirable for a project to be performed in separate phases, the Director may negotiate a partial compensation for the initial phase of the services required; provided, however, the Director first determines that the firm selected is best qualified to perform the entire project. The contract shall include a provision that the Department may, at its option, utilize the firm to perform other phases of the services at a compensation which the Department determines is fair and reasonable, to be later negotiated and included in a mutual written agreement. In the event that the Department exercises its option under the contract to utilize the firm to perform other phases of the project, the procedures of this Chapter, regarding estimates of value of services and negotiation shall be followed.


Note: Authority cited: Section 4526, Government Code. References: Sections 4526 and 4528, Government Code.



s 4734. Director's Power to Require Bids.

Note: Authority cited: Section 4526, Government Code. References: Section 4529, Government Code.



s 4735. Unlawful Considerations.

Each contract shall include a provision by which the firm warrants that the contract was not obtained or secured through rebates, kickbacks or other unlawful considerations either promised or paid to any Department employee. Failure to adhere to this warranty may be cause for contract termination and recovery of damages under the rights and remedies due the Department under the default provision of the contract.


Note: Authority cited: Section 4526, Government Code. References: Section 4526, Government Code.
