In existing law public owners are authorized to let public works projects through the design-bid-build project delivery method. This bill would provide for new alternative means for procuring design and construction services for public contracts by authorizing the use of Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Design-Build, Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain, Design-Build-Operate-Maintain, and Progressive Design-Build, project delivery methods and establish the criteria for project approval. This bill would provide for the adoption of administrative rules to administer this law and establish a process to protest a contract award, and establish reporting requirements. This bill would further provide for the establishment of a Public Works Advisory Council.
