Bill > HB413

This bill modifies provisions related to design-build and construction manager-at-risk contract methods for political subdivisions in Missouri. It expands the Office of Administration's authority to use these alternative project delivery methods, allowing them to use design-build contracts for noncivil works projects over $7 million and up to five projects under that threshold per fiscal year. For political subdivisions, the bill establishes detailed procedures for selecting construction managers and design-builders through a multi-stage, qualifications-based selection process. Key provisions include requiring public disclosure of project intent, establishing evaluation criteria that prioritize qualifications over cost (with qualifications accounting for at least 40% and cost no more than 60% of the selection process), and creating a three-phase selection process for design-build projects that involves reviewing team qualifications, technical proposals, and final construction costs. The bill also includes specific requirements for hiring design criteria consultants, publishing notices, and handling project awards, and provides provisions for paying stipends to unsuccessful but qualified design-builders. Notably, the bill removes previous sunset provisions that would have expired the design-build and construction manager-at-risk contract methods on September 1, 2026, effectively making these procurement methods permanent.
