SB1054: state construction project delivery methods
Sponsor: Senator Carroll, LD 28
Committee on Transportation & Infrastructure
Overview
Continues the authorization, until December 31, 2030, for the Arizona Department of
Transportation (ADOT) or an agent to commence design-build projects and to procure
construction delivery services using alternative methods of project delivery.
History
ADOT may use the design-build method of project delivery on a project if ADOT decides in
writing that it is appropriate and in the best interests of ADOT to use the design-build
method of project delivery for that project, except that:
1) ADOT must not enter into a contract to operate any structure, facility or other item;
2) each design-build project must be a specific single project; and
3) ADOT must not commence any design-build project after December 31, 2025 (A.R.S.
§ 28-7363).
ADOT may procure construction-manager-at-risk and job-order-contracting construction
services (A.R.S § 28-7366). ADOT may not procure any construction services using the job-
order-contracting construction services method of project delivery after December 31, 2025
(A.R.S. § 28-7367).
An agent must not procure any horizontal construction using the construction-manager-at-
risk, design-build or job-order-contracting method of project delivery after June 30, 2025
(A.R.S. § 34-605).
Construction services, for construction-manager-at-risk, design-build and job-order
contracting project delivery methods, are either: 1) construction, excluding services, through
the construction-manager-at-risk or job-order-contracting project delivery methods; or 2) a
combination of construction and, as elected by the agent, one or more related services.
Horizontal construction is construction of highways, roads, streets, bridges, canals,
floodways, earthen dams, landfills, airport runways, taxiways and aprons and light rail,
excluding any related rail stations, maintenance facilities or parking facilities. An agent is
any county, city or town, or officer, board or commission of any county, city or town, and
irrigation, power, electrical, drainage, flood protection and control districts, tax levying public
improvement districts and county or city improvement districts. An agent includes any
county board of supervisors and any representative authorized by an agent to act as an agent
for the purpose of authorizing necessary change orders to previously awarded contracts in
accordance with guidelines established by rule of the agent, including the board of
supervisors (A.R.S. § 34-101).
