PERMANENT RULES
Date of Adoption: March 30, 2001.
Purpose: Delete the requirement for prorating architectural and engineering fees in two steps based on the size of the projects. Fees would instead be assigned to projects based on the fee schedule for projects in size ranges. This change will simplify the procedure by scheduling a range of square footage for which a percentage applies. Then the square footage for any project will fall into a range, and the appropriate percentage will be used for the entire square footage: A simple, one step multiplication.

most qualified consultants at a price which the school district

the district shall take into account the estimated value of the
services to be rendered based upon the scope and complexity of
the project.
The allocation of state moneys for matching purposes for a school facility project shall be based on architectural and engineering services as defined by the latest edition of the American Institute of Architects Handbook of Professional Practice and calculated by the percentage(s) in relation to the square foot area of construction as calculated in WAC 180-27-040 and project type, as set forth below:
