  • Permits phased construction on occupied buildings to have the maximum guaranteed price determined for each phase separately, rather than requiring determination of the entire project's price upfront.

  • Requires bid notices for construction manager at-risk projects to be posted on the State Contracting Portal instead of being advertised in newspapers.

  • Authorizes the Commissioner of Construction Services to compile consultant lists for limited purposes (programs involving multiple projects under a single user agency) without following standard competitive selection procedures in sections 4b-56 and 4b-57.
