Bill > S2202

This bill amends Section 5 of Chapter 7C of the Massachusetts General Laws to modify regulations governing public building projects. Under the revised legislation, the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance will have control and supervision over state building projects that cost more than $1,000,000 and involve structural or mechanical work. The commissioner can delegate project control to a state agency or building authority for projects costing less than $10,000,000 if that agency demonstrates the capability to manage the project effectively. For projects estimated to cost less than $1,000,000 or that do not involve structural or mechanical work, the relevant state agency or building authority will have direct control and supervision. The bill also provides a specific definition of "estimated cost" as the construction cost stated in a preparatory study or program, ensuring clarity and consistency in project cost calculations and oversight.
