Bill > HB2906

This bill modifies existing Missouri law to allow for more flexible contracting for state construction and design projects. Specifically, it increases the dollar amount for certain standing contracts for construction, renovation, maintenance, and repair projects from $100,000 to $250,000 per project, and for job order contracts from $300,000 to $750,000 per project, while also introducing provisions for "master agreements." A master agreement is defined as a contract for architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, or land surveying services that will be used on an as-needed basis for multiple projects over a set period, with individual project fees not exceeding $100,000. These master agreements will be established by the division of facilities management, design, and construction of the office of administration through a qualification-based selection process, where firms are evaluated on their experience, past performance, and familiarity with the project area. Each master agreement will have a duration of up to two years, with a total value not exceeding $1 million per year, and specific project details like scope, schedule, and fee will be determined by individual task orders.
