If the Basic Services Consultants are not selected during the Professional Selection Process, the principal professional architect selected will immediately submit to the Bureau the names of structural, mechanical and electrical consulting engineers in the order of preference. If an Engineer has been named the principal Professional of the Project and the Project will require additional engineering and architectural assistance, the Engineer will submit the names of consulting engineers and architects in the order of preference for consideration by the Bureau.

If other Basic Services Consultants are needed, such as hazardous or civil, the principal Professional submits names in order of preference for consideration. Approval of in house preparation of asbestos, mechanical, electrical or structural portions of the Contract Documents without the use of an outside consultant must also be obtained prior to beginning the Work.

Basic Services Consultants selected by the Professional should have an M54 Architect-Engineer and Related Services Questionnaire Form [See Appendix 400.] on file with the Bureau prior to approval. To verify if a prospective Consultant has this information on file, the primary Professional may contact the Bureau office during regular working hours. If the proposed Consultant does not have an M54 on file, one will be forwarded to the Consultant to complete and return and can be found on the web.

The contractual agreement between the Professional and the Consultant will include inspection services.
