(3) Has in place a contract for services, reached through a process complying with RSA 21-I:22, provided the contract is for general municipal services that include bridge and highway design capability.

(c) The bureau shall review the consultant and construction provider selection process of a municipality if the bureau determines that the complexity of the project involves work that requires expertise and experience in engineering disciplines appropriate to the project.
