HB 1327 -- Design-Build Contracts

Sponsor:  St. Onge

This bill authorizes design-build contracts in certain instances.
The bill:

(1)  Allows the Director of the Division of Design and
Construction to determine whether a design-build procurement
process is necessary for certain projects;

(2)  Authorizes the division to contract with consultants to
prepare proposals, review documents, resolve disputes, and make
inspections;

(3)  Creates an evaluation team within the division to review
design-build proposals;

solicited.  The first phase involves the soliciting of qualified
design builders, phase two narrows the field of qualified design

costs incurred during the proposal submission process.

The provisions of the bill expire December 31, 2009.
