Senate Resolution No. by Senator Price establishes the Task Force on Construction Management at Risk (CMaR) to evaluate the effectiveness and necessity of the CMaR project delivery method, which was introduced in Louisiana through Act 782 of the 2014 Regular Session. This method allows public entities to contract separately with design professionals and CMaR contractors, who assume financial risks by committing to deliver projects within a guaranteed maximum price. The resolution outlines the task force's responsibilities, including assessing past and current laws, policies, and industry practices related to CMaR, and making recommendations for potential legislative changes.
The task force will consist of key members from various committees and organizations, including the Senate Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works, the Division of Administration, and representatives from the construction industry. It is required to submit a written report with its findings and recommendations to the legislature and the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library by March 1, 2028. The task force will convene for its first meeting by November 1, 2026, and will dissolve upon the submission of its report or by the specified date.
