Bill
AI Summary
-
School districts and chartered public schools must engage an owner's project manager (OPM) at the time of applying for school building aid, rather than after receiving an award as currently required
-
The OPM requirement applies to construction or renovation projects of $1,250,000 or more, unless waived by the commissioner
-
Owner's project managers must carry comprehensive liability insurance, auto insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and professional liability coverage
-
OPM services typically cost 1% to 5% of total project costs, creating an indeterminable fiscal impact on local school districts since there is no guarantee of building aid approval
-
Takes effect 60 days after passage
