Bill > S2035

This bill aims to promote safety, efficiency, and accountability in transportation projects through public inspections. It amends Chapter 6C of the General Laws to require that public employees, rather than private contractors, carry out the inspection functions, such as construction inspections, bridge inspections, contract administration, quality control inspection, material testing, and resident engineer functions, for all surface transportation projects receiving state or federal funding. This is intended to ensure that these important oversight and quality control responsibilities are performed by government personnel rather than private parties.
