SB1099 is a bill that amends current Arizona law to allow the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to use the progressive design-build method for project delivery until December 31, 2025. This method combines the design and construction services procurement into one contract, allowing for a more integrated project approach. The bill sets criteria for when this method can be used, outlines the procurement process, and allows contracts to be entered into by the end of 2025 for services that may be rendered later. It also requires railroad approval for relevant projects and permits the ADOT Director to adopt specific procurement procedures.

The bill introduces the term "progressive design-build" into the Arizona Revised Statutes and makes several technical changes, such as updating language and definitions. It extends the use of design-build methods, details the department's responsibilities in environmental document preparation, and sets the criteria and procedures for procurement and contract negotiation. Additionally, it mandates that the contractor must perform at least 40 percent of the construction work and caps the maximum dollar amount for an individual job order at $1,000,000 unless the department prescribes otherwise.
