Senate Bill 2334 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 12, Chapter 3, Part 12, to provide local governments with greater flexibility in selecting construction project delivery methods. Specifically, it allows local governments with revenues of at least $20 million from the previous fiscal year to choose any project delivery method that best meets their needs for qualified local projects, as long as the selection process is competitive and authorized by local ordinances. The bill defines various project delivery methods, including "construction manager at-risk," "design-bid-build," and "design-build," and establishes that a "qualified local project" is any construction project with an estimated cost exceeding $5 million.

The new section added to the law outlines the requirements for local governments to utilize these project delivery methods, emphasizing the importance of a competitive proposal process. This legislative change aims to streamline construction processes for local governments, enabling them to effectively manage and execute large-scale projects while ensuring accountability and transparency in the selection of contractors. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
