Road and bridge construction-alternative contracting.

HB 44 allows Wyoming's Transportation Commission to use alternative contracting methods for road and bridge projects funded by the state highway system, bypassing standard public bidding requirements for eligible projects. This applies to construction work using "alternate design and construction delivery methods" as defined in Wyoming law (W.S. 16-6-701), directly affecting projects costing over $275,000 that adopt these methods. The bill requires the Commission to adopt implementing rules by October 1, 2023, and waives standard procurement rules (like public bidding for projects over $275,000) when alternative methods are used. It does not change existing rules for projects using traditional contracting.
