The evaluation committee shall evaluate and score each responsive statement of qualifications that has not been eliminated from consideration using the criteria described in the request for statement of qualifications. Criteria not described in the request for statement of qualifications may not be used to evaluate a statement of qualifications. An evaluation committee may enter into discussions or conduct interviews with, or attend presentations by, the design professionals whose statements of qualifications are under consideration. The evaluation committee shall rank the top three highest scoring design professionals, in order of their scores, for the purpose of entering into fee negotiations as provided below. If fewer than three responsible design professionals submit statements of qualifications that are determined to be responsive but the District determines that it is in the best interest of the District to continue the fee negotiation and the contracting process with less than three design professionals, the Procurement Officer or Board of Education or its designee shall issue a written determination explaining the basis for this determination. The deliberations of an evaluation committee may be held in private; however, if the evaluation committee is a public body under the Utah Open and Public Meetings Act, the evaluation committee shall comply with the Act in closing a meeting for its deliberations.

This restriction does not apply to contracts for design professional services related to research activities or technology transfer. Utah Code § 63G-6a-1506 (2015)
