Bill overview
This bill allows local agencies, like cities and counties, to use a specific project delivery method called the Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) method for water infrastructure projects designed to address drought and climate change impacts. The CM/GC method involves hiring a construction manager to assist with design and oversee construction. The bill extends the current authorization for this method until 2031, requiring agencies to use a ‘best value’ selection process and limiting the number of projects they can undertake using this method to 15 per agency.
