(c) The Contracting Officer will review the A/E's submission and, if acceptable, he
will authorize the A/E to contract for services. If found unacceptable the A/E may be
directed to:
(1) Re-negotiate with the recommended firm to attempt to obtain a lower fee
and failing to do this terminate negotiations, or
(2) Terminate negotiations with the recommended firm and start negotiation
with the next best qualified firm until a mutually acceptable fee is arrived at and
the Contracting Officer authorizes the A/E to contract for the services.
