Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.

Construction manager contracts capped with exceptions

CM/GC projects are capped at $200 million per project, $200 million per fiscal year, and $300 million total in a year. Projects that receive more than the state’s core federal formula funding do not count toward these caps. CM/GC work needed in a county under a Governor-declared emergency also does not count toward the caps.

Design-build budgets capped with exceptions

For non-bond projects, design-build deals are capped at $200 million per project, $200 million per fiscal year, and $300 million total in a year. For bond-financed projects, the caps are higher: $300 million per project, $600 million per fiscal year, and $700 million total in a year. Projects that get more federal money than the state’s normal formula amounts do not count toward these caps. Emergency projects in a county named in the Governor’s declaration also do not count toward the caps.

New tools to speed highway projects with oversight

The Division of Highways can use one contract for both design and construction to speed work. It can also use a construction manager/general contractor method, but these deals must follow the cited federal rules. All design-build contracts must follow the Commissioner’s policies and procedures. The Commissioner must propose rules for CM/GC and cannot sign CM/GC agreements until those rules are proposed. Each year by January 15, the Commissioner reports on costs, time savings, change orders, bids, and quality. The act takes effect June 4, 2026.
