TO: | Honorable Steve Ogden, Chair, Senate Committee on Infrastructure Development and Security |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1499 by Madla (Relating to contracts for the design and construction of transportation projects by the Texas Department of Transportation.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted |
The bill would authorize the Department of Transportation to use design-build contracting as an additional contracting method. The wording in the bill makes the use of design-build contracting method permissive. The Department would therefore be able to determine which projects would be best suited for this contracting technique.
