Bill Summary

Relative to default insurance programs for certain public construction projects. State Administration and Regulatory Oversight.

AI Summary

This bill amends Section 8(a) of Chapter 149A of the General Laws to allow construction management at-risk firms to obtain a subcontractor default insurance policy in lieu of performance and payment bonds for some or all trade contractors on certain public construction projects. The bill requires trade contractors not covered by the subcontractor default insurance policy to submit their own payment and performance bonds, and directs trade contractors to include anticipated bonding costs in their bids, which they would then remit as a credit to the construction manager if they are included in the subcontractor default insurance program.
