Bill > S1743

This bill amends Chapter 7C of Massachusetts law to modify the oversight and control of building projects undertaken by state agencies or building authorities. The key provisions are: 1) The Commissioner shall control and supervise any building project with an estimated cost exceeding $1 million and involving structural or mechanical work. 2) The Commissioner may delegate project control and supervision to a state agency or building authority for projects with an estimated cost less than $10 million if the Commissioner determines the agency or authority has the ability to manage the project. 3) State agencies and building authorities can control and supervise their own building projects with an estimated cost less than $1 million or that do not involve structural or mechanical work. The bill provides the Commissioner with more oversight over larger, more complex building projects, while allowing delegation of control for smaller projects to capable state agencies and authorities.
