Requires publication of a cost estimate and project completion date for any work on the state highway system at the time bidding for a contract on the work first closes

This bill requires the state to publish a cost estimate and a projected completion date for any highway construction, maintenance, or repair work when the bidding process first closes. The rule directly affects the state's transportation department and the contractors bidding on these projects by mandating transparency in project planning. By making these details public at the start of the bidding phase, the legislation aims to provide clearer information to the public and potential bidders regarding the scope and timeline of state highway projects.
