S 2045 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to the submission of design build proposals

This bill amends Massachusetts state law to change how government agencies handle design-build projects, which combine architectural planning and construction into a single contract. Specifically, it requires the agency awarding the contract to ask for the project's price bid within five calendar days after receiving the technical proposal. This rule directly affects state departments and other public entities that hire contractors to design and build public infrastructure. By setting a strict deadline for price submissions, the legislation aims to streamline the bidding process for these specific types of construction projects.
