(b) Minimum level of assistance from the corporation:
(c) Project architect. The project architect, who must be licensed to practice architecture within the State (the "project architect"), shall be selected by the corporation in consultation with the eligible recipient (or its designee) based upon consideration of the following criteria:
The project architect will work with the applicant and the eligible recipient, property owners and tenants and the corporation to prepare an overall design concept and specifications, and schematic drawings. The project architect shall also prepare cost estimates and all necessary working drawings and specifications for the eligible building facade improvements. The project architect shall be responsible for contract administration during the construction phase of the commercial revitalization project. The project architect's services shall be performed pursuant to a contract with the corporation.
(d) Contractors. Participating property owners and/or tenants will be responsible for hiring contractors to perform the eligible building facade improvements. Applicants are required to describe in their applications the assistance that they will provide to property owners in meeting this requirement. Contractors who own 51 percent or more of a contracting business and who wish to be participating property owners and/or tenants will not be eligible to be hired as the contractor to perform the eligible building facade improvements for their own properties. Such contractors will, however, be eligible to perform such improvements for other properties that participate in the commercial revitalization project. All contractors must carry reasonable insurance. Contractors may also be required to be bonded in circumstances where they receive partial payment from the corporation pending completion of work.
