[ Approved by Governor September 08, 2023. Filed with Secretary of State September 08, 2023. ] LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTAB 427, Alvarez. Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act: alternative project delivery method.The Otay Mesa East Toll Facility Act authorizes the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to carry out a construction project for the State Highway Route 11 corridor, including, among other things, highway improvements and international border crossing facilities, to be operated as a toll facility. Existing law authorizes the use of alternative bidding and building procedures for a project or components of a project after SANDAG commences a comparison of the traditional design-bid-build process of construction with the proposed alternative project delivery method in a public meeting and if the governing board of SANDAG makes written findings that use of an alternative project delivery method on the specific project or project component under consideration will accomplish at least one of 3 specified objectives. Existing law requires the design-bid-build method of project construction for the project or project components if these conditions are not met. This bill would provide that SANDAG is no longer required to use the design-bid-build delivery method for construction of a project if specified conditions for utilizing an alternative delivery method are not met. This bill would authorize SANDAG to use the Construction Manager/General Contractor method (CMGC), as defined, as an additional alternative project delivery method. The bill would impose specified requirements on SANDAG and a construction manager, as defined, if they enter into a CMGC contract for alternative project delivery.This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.Digest Key Vote: 2/3 Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.

SANDAG may enter into an alternative project delivery method contract authorized in this section on a project or any project component, after comparison of the traditional design, bid, and build process of construction with the proposed alternative project delivery method in a public meeting, if the governing board makes written findings that use of an alternative project delivery method on the specific project or project component under consideration will accomplish at least one of the following objectives: reduce comparable project costs, expedite a projects completion, or provide features not achievable through the traditional design-bid-build method.(c) SANDAG may utilize the following alternative project delivery methods if the conditions in this section are met:(1) Design-build.(2) Design sequencing.(3) Construction Manager/General Contractor (CMGC).(d) (1) If a contract for CMGC services is entered into pursuant to this chapter and includes preconstruction services by the construction manager, SANDAG shall enter into a written contract with the construction manager for the preconstruction services, under which SANDAG shall pay the construction manager a fee for preconstruction services in an amount agreed upon by SANDAG and the construction manager.

A preconstruction services contract shall provide for the subsequent negotiation for construction of all or any discrete phase or phases of the project and shall provide for SANDAG to own the design plans and other preconstruction services work products.(2) A contract for construction services may be awarded after the plans have been sufficiently developed and either a fixed price or a guaranteed maximum price has been successfully negotiated. In the event that a fixed price or a guaranteed maximum price is not successfully negotiated, SANDAG may award the contract for construction services utilizing any other procurement method authorized by law.(3) The construction manager shall perform not less than 30 percent of the work covered by the fixed price or guaranteed maximum price agreement reached. Work that is not performed directly by the construction manager shall be bid to subcontractors pursuant to Section 6955 of the Public Contract Code.(e) It is the intent of the Legislature that alternative project delivery methods as authorized in this section shall not be construed to extend, limit, or change in any manner the legal responsibility of public agencies and contractors to comply with existing laws. |
