Costs of program evaluation are an allowable cost consideration in any service contract negotiated in accordance with this article. The department shall conduct a thorough investigation of the contractors utilized by the department pursuant to this article. The department shall further include the results of this investigation in its report to the Legislature required by section nine of this article.
