How far does the responsibility of the engineer go as it relates to prime/sub-consultants (architectural type of contracting arrangement)?
The Board of Examiners has ruled that the provisions of the MiniBrooks apply even in situations of prime\subconsultants. If the project involves public funds from a project that has not been exempted, the sub-consultants must be selected through a qualification-based process. The North Carolina Attorney General has been asked to render an opinion on this issue.
