components of the public work with respect to which the manager or consultant is employed
or contracted to manage or consult.

facility, aviation facility, or any combination thereof, by the construction manager at risk
method and further provides that NOAB is not relieved from complying with all other

Administration (FAA) guidelines.
Proposed law further provides the procedures that the NOAB shall follow in awarding a
contract by the construction manager at risk method.
