Bill > SB37

This bill enacts the Construction Manager General Contractor Act, which provides an alternative project delivery method for certain Department of Transportation (DOT) projects. Key provisions include: 1. The Secretary of Transportation can use a construction manager general contractor (CMGC) delivery method, where a CMGC is contracted to provide preconstruction services, construction management, and construction services for a project. 2. The CMGC delivery method allows the DOT to procure a CMGC contract separately from the project design and independent cost estimate services. 3. The DOT must follow a multi-phased procedure to select and contract with a CMGC, including a qualifications-based proposal process and negotiations for a guaranteed maximum price for construction. 4. The CMGC can begin negotiations for the construction services before the design work is complete, and if an agreement cannot be reached, the DOT can competitively bid the construction phase. 5. The bill amends the Procurement Code to allow the CMGC delivery method as an alternative to the typical design-bid-build process for certain DOT projects.
