8-1.3 Definitions

A/E services are professional services requiring the performance or approval by a registered or licensed architect or engineer associated with the design or construction of real property, as well as incidental services that members of those professions may logically or justifiably perform in relation to construction, alteration, or repair of buildings, site improvements, roads, or other kinds of real property. Such incidental services include:

  • Master planning.
  • Architectural and engineering studies.
  • Investigations.
  • Surveys.
  • Reports.
  • Design development.
  • Drawings preparation.
  • Specification preparation.
  • Interior design.
  • Space planning.
  • Environmental services.
  • Observation and reporting of the work performed during construction, alteration, or repair.

Environmental A/E services are those environmental services which require performance or approval by a registered or licensed architect or engineer. Environmental A/E services should be purchased using the procedures in this section. Other environmental services such as continuous monitoring and/or testing for environmental compliance at postal facilities do not require performance by a registered or licensed architect or engineer.
