Section 603 - Announcement of Projects(a) In addition to the annual notice, the Chief shall publish, either electronically or in print, a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for any proposed project in the State Contracts Register and in the publications of relevant professional societies.(b) The RFQ shall include a description of the project, submittal requirements and deadlines for a firm's statement of qualifications, and the criteria upon which the contract award will be made. The RFQ may also provide for the award of multiple contracts if the selection procedure is sufficiently described in the RFQ and the award otherwise complies with the provisions of this chapter.(c) If the Department requires A&E services for a project with a site or sites that cannot be identified at the time the RFQ is prepared, the RFQ shall specify the type of services that the firm might be expected to complete on an as-needed or on-call basis. RFQs for such "on-call" contracts shall specify with as much detail as possible the anticipated nature of the services required and the expected location where services may be needed.(d) Failure of a professional publication to publish, or error by a professional publication in publishing an announcement, shall not invalidate that announcement. In such a circumstance, the Chief may extend the announcement deadlines to allow further publication of the announcement.Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 11, § 603
