HB 1271 Public procurement; construction management and transportation construction services.

Introduced by: Mark D. Sickles | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Public procurement; construction management and transportation construction services. Authorizes state public bodies and public institutions of higher education to enter into contracts for construction on a construction management basis and without following certain statutory procedures when the estimated cost is expected to be greater than $40 million. Under current law, such bodies are required to comply with the procedures whenever they use construction management. The bill also increases from $10 million to $40 million the threshold of expected actual construction costs above which local public bodies may contract for construction on a construction management basis. The bill amends the components of the definition of "complex project" by (i) removing references to unique equipment and specialized building systems, (ii) adding unconventional building systems, (iii) specifying that the accelerated schedule component of a project must be due to regulatory mandates, and (iv) requiring that any historic designation be properly registered.
