Bill > HB513

This bill modifies provisions related to design-build and construction manager-at-risk contracts for political subdivisions in Missouri. It establishes detailed procedures for how these alternative project delivery methods can be used, focusing on a three-stage qualifications-based selection process. For design-build projects, the bill outlines specific requirements such as publicly disclosing intent to use the method, soliciting proposals in three phases (qualifications, technical proposal, and construction cost), and establishing criteria for evaluation. The bill allows political subdivisions to use design-build contracts for civil works projects like roads and bridges, and noncivil works projects like buildings over $7 million. The legislation also sets guidelines for selecting design-build teams, including requirements for design criteria consultants, proposal submission, and evaluation processes. Additionally, the bill provides protections such as stipends for unsuccessful but qualified design-builders and ensures that all design professionals are properly licensed. Notably, the bill removes previous sunset provisions that would have expired the design-build and construction manager-at-risk contract authorities on September 1, 2026, effectively making these procurement methods permanent for eligible political subdivisions in Missouri.
