2005 Arizona Revised Statutes - Revised Statutes §34-102  Multiple contracts

A. For professional services that are provided by a technical registrant, an agent may procure and award multiple contracts from a single solicitation under section 34-103 or 34-603, as applicable, except that professional services that are part of design-build construction services may not be procured under this subsection. Each of the multiple contracts for professional services must have a term not exceeding five years and may continue in effect after the five year term for professional services on projects commenced within the five year term.

B. In a solicitation for multiple contracts for professional services by technical registrants:

1. Any publication shall include the fact that multiple contracts may or will be awarded, shall state the number of contracts that may or will be awarded and shall describe the services to be performed under each contract. If the solicitation is under section 34-603, subsection C, the request for qualifications shall also contain this information.

2. There shall be a single selection process for all of the multiple contracts, except that if the solicitation is under section 34-103, subsections E and F or under section 34-603, subsection C there shall be a separate final list for each contract and a separate contract negotiation for each contract. However, if the solicitation specifies that all of the multiple contracts will be awarded to a single contractor, there may be a single final list and a single negotiation for all of the multiple contracts.

3. The agent may award all of the multiple contracts to one contractor or may award the multiple contracts to multiple contractors.

C. Except for construction-manager-at-risk construction services for horizontal construction and design-build construction services for horizontal construction, multiple contracts for construction-manager-at-risk construction services, design-build construction services or job-order-contracting construction services may be procured in a single solicitation as provided in section 34-603, subsection C.
