Pennsylvania Bill Would Permit Design-Build Contracting For Some Transportation Projects
The Center Square (Pennsylvania) reports on proposed Pennsylvania legislation (HB 2747) that would allow PennDOT and the Pennsylvania Turnpike to use the design build-best value procurement method (DBBV) for procuring construction of a “complex project,” defined as a stand-alone project with an estimated construction cost greater than $15,000,000 “that has unique characteristics that foster innovation or a need for accelerated completion where [DBBV] would be more advantageous to the Commonwealth than competitive sealed bidding.” (P3 projects are excluded from the definition.) The legislation is necessary because of a 2011 court opinion holding that the current terms of the state procurement statute prohibit agencies from using DBBV.
