AI Summary

  • Deletes the requirement for municipalities, counties, public trusts, and other political subdivisions to obtain state approval before using design-build or at-risk construction management delivery methods.

  • Clarifies that contract management fees collected by the Department of Central Services are for providing services (architectural, engineering, land surveying, and contract management), with all fees deposited into the State Construction Revolving Fund.

  • Requires political subdivisions and school districts to select construction managers based on professional qualifications and technical experience using a selection process similar to that for architects, with fees discussed only after the top-ranked firm is identified.

  • Establishes criminal penalties (misdemeanor with up to 1 year imprisonment and/or $1,000 fine) for unqualified persons offering construction management services or public officials hiring unqualified firms.

  • Expands high-performance building certification standards to include ANSI/ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1, allowing architect/engineer certification instead of requiring independent third-party verification.
