HB 606 Original 2021 Regular Session Brass
Abstract: Changes the design-builders contracts qualification process to allow for a pool of pre-
qualified design-builders and experience specific to the type of work.
Present law provides the qualification process for the Dept. of Transportation and Development
(DOTD) to execute design-build contracts.
Proposed law retains present law and removes the House and Senate transportation, highways, and
public works committees from the approval process.
Present law requires a notice of intent to request letters for a design-build project be distributed by
the department through advertisement on the DOTD website.
Proposed law retains present law and adds that a pool of pre-qualified design builders must remain
pre-qualified for up to two years.
Present law requires all notices of intent be advertised a minimum of 10 days prior to the deadline
for receipt of responses and contain a description of the project.
Proposed law expands the notice of intent requirements to include the type of work.
Effective upon signature of governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
