SUMMARY AS PASSED:

VDOT contracts. Mandates that Virginia Department of Transportation contracts require that contractors comply with all requirements, conditions, and terms of such contracts, including environmental permits that are part of the contracts. If a contractor violates a contract provision that results in environmental damage or violates environmental laws or environmental permits, the Department may suspend the contractor from future bidding or initiate debarment. In such cases, the Department may recover either (i) the loss or damage that the Department suffers as a result of such violation or (ii) any liquidated damages established in such contract plus (iii) reasonable attorney's fees and expert witness fees. This bill is the same as SB 1052 (Williams).

SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:

VDOT contracts. Allows the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), by policy or contract or both, to provide for penalties, including civil penalties, suspension from bidding, and/or debarment, for violation of its contracts and associated environmental and other permits by contractors. SB 1052 (Williams) deals with the same subject. The two bills conflict.
