ND HB1028

Selection committees for construction management at-risk projects must exclude any architect or engineer contracted for that specific project from serving on the committee

Fees and expenses for construction manager at-risk projects must be submitted on a standard bid form approved by the Office of Management and Budget director, with fee weighting set at minimum 20% while other criteria remain capped between 5-20%

Construction managers at-risk must publicly advertise and open bids for all general construction work items, submit competitive bids for any work they choose to self-perform, and award subcontracts to the lowest responsible bidder

Agency selection committees evaluating architects, engineers, and land surveyors must now consider fees and expenses as a criterion, submitted on a standardized form approved by the Office of Management and Budget

Fee-based evaluation criteria exemptions apply to Department of Transportation projects (unless on state capitol grounds using only state funds) and federally-funded projects where federal rules prohibit fee consideration
