This bill amends the Code of West Virginia, specifically section 22-34-5, to extend the sunset provision of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection Design-Build Pilot Program from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027. The bill requires the secretary of the department to continue submitting annual reports to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance, evaluating the performance and outcomes of design-build projects completed in the previous calendar year.

The report will assess various factors, including cost and time savings, the number and cost of change orders, the quality of work performed, and the number of bids received. This legislative change aims to provide a longer timeframe for the pilot program, allowing for further evaluation and potential improvements in the design-build process within the department.
