9-10. Use of Consultants. Services of individual experts and
specialists outside the Corps of Engineers may be utilized for advice
and consultation at appropriate stages of Civil Works project
investigation, design, construction and operation activities.
Consultants are often employed when problems are encountered that
involve specialized fields in which Corps personnel are not regularly
employed, or special problems of such magnitude or importance are
encountered that it is advisable to obtain the views and advice of
eminent experts to supplement conclusions of the Corps staff.
a. Other Federal Agencies. Services of other Federal agencies
will be utilized as appropriate in their special fields to complement
the investigations and planning of Civil Works by the Corps. Such
agencies include the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), National
Park Service (NPS) and Fish and Wildlife Service (F&WS), among others.
b. Owners of Existing Facilities. Services of the owners of
existing facilities to be relocated for Civil Works projects may be
engaged for planning and design of relocations of their facilities.
Procurement of such services from states, local governmental units,
railroad companies, utility companies, etc., may be accomplished by
use of a separate contract for engineering services. Alternately,
these services may be made a part of the relocations contract.
