Sec. 101-19.501  Conditions justifying delegation.


    The authorities and responsibilities of the Administrator of General 
Services under the provisions of the Public Buildings Act of 1959, as 
amended (40 U.S.C. 601-615), shall, except for the authority in section 
4 of that Act, upon request, be delegated to the appropriate executive 
agency where the estimated cost of the project does not exceed $100,000 
and may, in the Administrator's discretion, be delegated in cases 
exceeding that amount. (See section 15 of the Act.) When the estimated 
cost of the project exceeds $100,000, the following criteria will be 
applied in determining whether a delegation will be made:
    (a) The staff capability of the requesting agency to negotiate and 
administer contracts for the various types of work involved; and
    (b) Whether such a delegation will promote efficiency and economy. 
See Sec. 101-19.402(c) regarding contracts for professional engineering 
and architectural services.
