For job order contracts, the total expenditure per project shall not exceed three hundred thousand dollars.

The director shall establish, by rule, the procedures which the agencies must follow to procure contracts for design, construction, renovation, maintenance or repair work. Each agency which procures such contracts pursuant to a delegation shall file an annual report as required by rule. The director shall provide general supervision over the process. The director may establish procedures by which such contracts are to be procured, either generally or in accordance with each authorization.
3. The director, in his sole discretion, may with full documentation approve a recommendation from a project designer that a material, product or system within a specification for construction, renovation or repair work be designated by brand, trade name or individual mark, when it is determined to be in the best interest of the state. The specification may include a preestablished price for purchase of the material, product or system where required by the director.
