agree  Kim Metzger: Also a possibility, although the language is extremely vague. It's possible the office is supposed to participate in "source selection."

  -> I think it's too specific to say that they actually "award" the contract. I doubt that they have the power to do that. They are probably just used in an organizational and advisory capacity.

placing of orders

awarding sub-contracts (for realizing the plans)


Explanation:
All of the aforementioned firms or offices deal in drawing up plans for some area of building construction. It seems quite logical that they also be entitled to select sub-contracting firms, thus awarding to these sub-contracts, for the purpose of constucting the building, doing electrical installations, carrying out building surveillance etc.
