Bill > SB84

This bill enacts the Transportation Construction Manager General Contractor Act, which provides an alternative project delivery method for certain Department of Transportation projects. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to use a construction manager general contractor delivery method on projects if certain criteria are met, such as the level of design, time constraints, and project complexity. 2. It requires the Secretary to promulgate rules for soliciting and awarding construction manager general contractor contracts, including defining the scope of the contract and the process for negotiating a guaranteed maximum price. 3. It establishes a multi-phased procedure for selecting a construction manager general contractor, including using a competitive sealed qualifications-based proposal process. 4. It exempts the use of the construction manager general contractor delivery method from the competitive sealed bid requirement in the Procurement Code. 5. It removes the cap on the use of the design and build project delivery method for certain transportation projects. Overall, the bill aims to provide the Department of Transportation with more flexibility in using alternative project delivery methods beyond the traditional design-bid-build approach for certain transportation projects.
