Sec. 8. Emergencies and contracts under $50,000 Waiver of competition. A political subdivision may establish an alternative procedure waive the requirements of Sections 4, 5, and 6 if it determines, by resolution, that an emergency situation exists and a firm must be selected in an expeditious manner, or the cost of architectural, engineering, and land surveying services for the project is expected to be less than $50,000 $25,000. The alternative procedure shall establish guidelines for selection based on demonstrated competence and qualifications to perform the type of services required and, after selection, require a negotiation of the fee at a price determined by the political subdivision to be fair and reasonable after considering the estimated value, the scope, the complexity, and the nature of services.
