Local Government, General - As introduced, authorizes a local government having a population of 100,000 or more and having centralized purchasing with a full-time purchasing agent to use any project delivery method that the local government determines most effectively meets the needs of the local government for the construction of local projects or additions to existing buildings. - Amends TCA Title 12, Chapter 3, Part 12.

HB 1054 allows large Tennessee local governments (with 100,000+ residents and centralized purchasing with a full-time agent) to choose any construction project delivery method they determine most effective for building projects or renovations. It specifically permits using methods like design-build, construction manager at-risk, or design-build-finance-operate, while requiring compliance with existing purchasing laws. The bill amends Tennessee Code to clarify that these governments may bypass traditional procurement requirements when selecting delivery methods that best meet their needs. It directly affects counties, cities, and other large local entities managing public construction projects. The law takes effect upon enactment but does not create new obligations beyond flexible procurement options.
