Solicitation for procurement of services of architects/engineers, or related professionals, shall be in accordance with the Architectural, Engineering, and Land Surveying Qualifications Based Selection Act [30 ILCS 535] and CDB's rules titled Selection of Architects/Engineers (44 Ill. Adm. Code 1000), with the following modification to that Part: 

For purposes of this Part, Section 1000.160 regarding interviews shall not apply.  Instead, the following shall apply: 

CDB requires the selection committee to conduct interviews when the estimated value of the basic services fee exceeds $300,000.  The Executive Director may choose to conduct interviews for smaller projects under special circumstances.  A minimum of three firms will be interviewed, unless fewer than three qualified firms submit statements of qualifications for a specific project.  The Executive Director may exempt any contract from requiring interviews.
