2001 SESSION
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 33.1-190.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§ 33.1-190.1. Value engineering required in certain projects.
The Department shall employ value engineering in conjunction with any project
on any highway system using criteria established by the Department and
including but not limited to all projects costing more than $2 $5 million. For
the purposes of this section, "value engineering" shall mean a systematic
process of review and analysis of an engineering project by a team of persons
not originally involved in the project. Such team may offer suggestions which
would improve project quality and reduce total project cost, ranging from
combination or elimination of inefficient or expensive parts or steps in the
original proposal to total redesign of the project using different
technologies, materials, or methods.
After a review, the Commonwealth Transportation Commissioner may waive the requirements of this section for any project for compelling reasons. Any such waiver shall be in writing, state the reasons for the waiver, and apply only to a single project.
