    Section 1

    Defines construction manager-general contractor as a project delivery method that allows the use of a construction manager during the design process to provide input on the design. During the design phase, the construction manager provides advice on constructability review, scheduling, pricing, and phasing to assist in designing a more efficient and well-designed project. The construction manager may then act as the general contractor and construct the project if the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the construction manager-general contractor agree on the maximum price for construction.

    Section 2

    Allows the DOT to establish a pilot project to award contracts for up to five construction projects on a construction manager-general contractor basis. Contracts may only be awarded under the pilot project if (1) the cost of the project is under $100 million, (2) the DOT determines that using the pilot project is in the public interest, (3) the DOT prequalifies the contractor, (4) the DOT complies with the pre-award reporting requirement, and (5) the DOT has established guidelines as required in this act.

    Section 3

    Requires the DOT to submit a pre-award report to the Joint Legislative Transportation Oversight Committee (JLTOC) prior to awarding a pilot project contract. The report must include the nature and scope of the project, and the reasons that using the pilot project is in the public interest. Upon completion of a project the DOT must submit a post-completion report to the JLTOC detailing the results of the project, including any cost and time efficiencies achieved as a result of using the pilot project.

    Section 4

    The DOT must develop guidelines for the awarding of contracts under this act.

    Section 5

    Act expires on submission of the final post-completion report.
