MO HB1042

Authorizes Missouri political subdivisions to use construction manager-at-risk contracts, requiring a two-step qualification-based selection process with qualifications weighted at minimum 40% and cost at maximum 60%

Establishes a three-phase design-build contracting process for political subdivisions: Phase I for qualifications (shortlisting 2-5 builders), Phase II for technical/design proposals (minimum 40% of score), and Phase III for cost proposals (minimum 40% of score)

Sets project thresholds at $2 million minimum for civil works projects (roads, bridges, water plants) and $7 million minimum for non-civil works projects (buildings, structures)

Requires political subdivisions to pay unsuccessful but responsive design-builders a stipend of at least 0.5% of total project budget, with the political subdivision gaining nonexclusive rights to use submitted designs upon payment

Exempts metropolitan sewer districts and home rule charter cities/counties from these provisions, and sets all design-build authority under this section to expire September 1, 2025
