Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission - Design and Construction - Alternative Project Delivery and Solicitation Methods MC/PG 102-25

HB 1063 repeals a $2 million spending limit that previously restricted the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) from using design/build contracts for water and sewer infrastructure projects. The bill authorizes WSSC to adopt regulations allowing alternative project delivery and solicitation methods, giving the Commission more flexibility in contracting for construction work. This directly affects WSSC, which manages water and sanitation systems across Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. The change takes effect October 1, 2025, and does not alter existing requirements for public hearings or bid advertising for smaller projects.
