Explains the process by which the US government selects architect-engineering firms to perform design services for it, and guides the prospective contractor through the maze of requirements from finding the announcement of available contracts, almost (but not quite) to the Senate subcommittee hearings on graft. Covers how to go after a job, the proposals and negotiations leading to getting it, the administration and recording requirements after the contract is awarded, and the requirements when the project is completed. Updated to the 1995 versions of the regulations. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
