Chapter 6 - USE OF DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT DELIVERY FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Subchapter 1 - USE OF DESIGN-BUILD PROJECT DELIVERY FOR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Section 9A:6-1.3 - Authorization to commence design-build process
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024
(a) For a construction project that can be reasonably, and in good faith, estimated to have a cost equal to or exceeding $ 5,000,000, the governing body of a contracting unit may adopt a resolution to authorize utilization of design-build project delivery in lieu of a design-bid-build delivery system. In its authorization to commence the design-build process, the contracting unit must determine that, when compared to the design-bid-build process, design-build project delivery will facilitate a shorter overall design and construction process including, but not limited to, reducing the likelihood of work stoppages and change orders that would increase project costs. A contracting unit cannot use design-build project delivery for projects that can be reasonably, and in good faith, estimated to have a cost below $ 5,000,000.
(b) For purposes of meeting the minimum monetary threshold at (a) above, a contracting unit may group more than one project together, so long as those projects are part of the same work.
(c) The resolution adopted pursuant to (a) above shall also establish procedures for the solicitation and award of the design-build contract that are consistent with this chapter.
