This bill aims to amend the existing Construction Manager-General Contractor Method of Procurement Pilot Program by making it a permanent fixture for the State Highway Commission. The bill removes the term "Pilot" from the program's title and provisions, indicating a shift from a temporary testing phase to a permanent operational status. Additionally, it repeals the requirement for an independent consultant study that was previously mandated to compare the benefits and costs of this procurement method against traditional methods.

Furthermore, the bill expands the scope of the Construction Manager-General Contractor Method of Procurement Program, allowing the commission to utilize this method for any transportation project with a construction cost estimate not exceeding three hundred million dollars ($300,000,000). This change enhances the program's applicability and streamlines the procurement process for transportation projects in the state.
