CHAPTER 924 An Act to amend and reenact § 2.1-483.1 of the Code of Virginia, relating to the Department of General Services; administration of capital projects. [H 886] Approved April 20, 1994

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 2.1-483.1 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 2.1-483.1. Administration of capital outlay construction.

The Department of General Services through its Division of Engineering and Buildings shall provide assistance in the administration of capital outlay construction projects set forth in the Appropriations Act, other than highway construction undertaken by the Department of Transportation, to include the review and approval of plans and specifications, and acceptance of completed projects.

The Department of General Services may also establish standards, as needed, for construction by the Commonwealth and may, with the advice of the Attorney General, establish standard contract provisions and procedures for the procurement and administration of construction and for the procurement and administration of architectural and engineering services relating to construction, which shall be used by all departments, agencies and institutions of the Commonwealth. Such standards may provide for incentive contracting which offers a contractor whose bid is accepted the opportunity to share in any cost savings realized by the Commonwealth when project costs are reduced by such contractor, without affecting project quality, during construction of the project. The fee, if any, charged by the project engineer or architect for determining such cost savings shall be paid as a separate cost and shall not be calculated as part of any cost savings.

The term "construction" as used in this section shall include new construction, reconstruction, renovation, restoration, major repair, demolition and all similar work upon buildings and ancillary facilities owned or to be acquired by the Commonwealth. It does not include buildings or other facilities ancillary to the use of state highways which are located within the right-of-way of any state highway.
