AI Summary

  • Adds "progressive design-build" as a new project delivery method for the Arizona Department of Transportation, defined as a process where a contractor is selected through qualifications-based selection and agrees to both design and build a project.

  • Requires progressive design-build projects to be specific single projects and prohibits the department from commencing any such projects after December 31, 2025.

  • Applies the same procurement procedures as construction-manager-at-risk and job-order-contracting methods, including qualifications-based selection, evaluation by a selection team, and negotiation of fees based on demonstrated competence rather than initial price.

  • Requires the contractor to perform at least 40 percent of construction work with its own organization and prohibits the department from entering into progressive design-build contracts as a contractor itself.

  • Maintains the department's responsibility for right-of-way acquisition, environmental documentation, and railroad approvals while extending existing bonding, change order, and payment requirements to progressive design-build contracts.
