The Division may, with the prior approval of the Interim Finance Committee, plan a project in advance by preparing floor plans, cross sections, elevations, outlines of specifications, estimates of cost by category of work and perspective renderings of the project. The Division may submit preliminary or advance plans or designs to qualified architects or engineers for preparation of detailed plans and specifications if the Division considers it desirable. The cost of preparation of preliminary or advance plans or designs, the cost of detailed plans and specifications, and the cost of all architectural and engineering services are charges against the appropriations made by the Legislature for any state buildings or projects, or buildings or projects planned or contemplated by any state agency for which the Legislature has appropriated or may appropriate money. The costs must not exceed the limitations that are or may be provided by the Legislature.
