Sec.  305.6  Allowable methods of procurement for construction services.

account. If an alternate method is used, the Recipient shall submit to 
EDA for approval a construction services procurement plan and the 
Recipient must use a design professional to oversee the process. The 
Recipient shall submit the plan to EDA prior to advertisement for bids 
and shall include the following, as applicable:
    (1) Justification for the proposed method for procurement of 
construction services;
    (2) The scope of work with cost estimates and schedules;
    (3) A copy of the proposed construction contract;
    (4) The name and qualifications of the selected design professional; 
and
    (5) Procedures to be used to ensure full and open competition, 
including the selection criteria.
    (b) For all procurement methods, the Recipient must comply with the 
procurement standards set forth in 15 CFR parts 14 or 24, as applicable.
