Usual steps in the
Selection Procedure:
10. If satisfactory agreement is not reached with the

assistance before continuing with the selection
process. All such negotiations should be on a
strictly confidential basis, and in no case should
the compensation discussed with one Civil
Engineer be disclosed to another.

schedule and compensation, the client and
selected Civil Engineer should formalize their
agreement in a written contract.
