Construction: other; use of design-build constructing for certain school buildings; allow. Amends secs. 1, 1a & 2 of 1937 PA 306 (MCL 388.851 et seq.).
This bill allows Michigan school districts to use a design-build method for constructing or remodeling certain school buildings, where a single entity handles both design and construction services. It defines specific requirements for this process, such as the need for an independent licensed architect or engineer to help select the design-build team and ensure the project scope is clear. Additionally, the law mandates that rules be created to regulate the inspection and reuse of modular classrooms when they are relocated. The bill also establishes penalties for individuals who violate these new construction and supervision standards.
