Adopt the State Building Construction Alternatives Act and change and eliminate provisions regarding planning, bidding, construction, and procurement of art for state buildings

LB 445 introduces new contracting methods for Nebraska state building projects, allowing the state building division to use "design-build" (one contractor handles both design and construction) or "construction manager" contracts (a contractor assists with planning before construction). It eliminates requirements for purchasing art for state buildings and replaces outdated rules about bidding, planning, and construction. The bill directly affects the state building division and contractors working on state projects, removing old provisions while creating standardized guidelines for these new processes. It does not apply to University of Nebraska, state colleges, or projects covered by other specific laws like the Public Water Act.
