Protecting Procurement of Design Services

      • IIBEC opposes the use of cooperative programs for the procurement of design and construction services for public projects.
        IIBEC advocates for the use of independent design consultants with no financial interest in products specified and installed on all public projects in order to protect the public’s interest and safety.
