Changes provisions relating to design-build contracts

HB 536 revises Missouri's rules for how state and local governments can use design-build contracting for public construction projects. It sets a $7 million minimum cost threshold for design-build projects (such as buildings or structures), while limiting the number of smaller projects (under $7 million) to five per fiscal year. The bill also removes specific restrictions that previously applied to the state's Office of Administration when using these contracting methods. These changes clarify the process for political subdivisions like cities, counties, and state agencies when selecting construction delivery methods.
