Description

Virginia Public Procurement Act; requirements for use of construction management contracts. Restricts the use of construction management procurements by public bodies unless (i) the total estimated contract value is $40 million or more, (ii) a written determination is provided stating that competitive sealed bidding is not practicable or fiscally advantageous, (iii) the contract is entered into prior to the schematic phase of design, (iv) prior alternative procurement method experience is not required as a prerequisite for an award, and (v) price is the primary determining factor for award of the contract. The bill provides that for projects where the total estimated contract value is not expected to exceed $40 million, a public body may use competitive negotiation to procure construction on a construction management basis if the above requirements are met and the project is of substantial historical value or significantly unique or complex in nature. In addition, public bodies seeking to use construction management for projects where the total estimated contract value is not expected to exceed $40 million must also obtain a written finding of compliance from the local governing body for local public bodies, from the Director of the Department of General Services for certain state public bodies, and from the respective contracting officer for public institutions of higher education designated with Tier 3 procurement authority. The bill also (i) establishes a procedure to appeal a public body's determination to procure construction on a construction management basis, (ii) prohibits combining multiple construction projects for the purpose of exceeding the $40 million threshold, (iii) requires public bodies to make available to the public, after award, all prequalification score sheets, award score sheets, and selection information for each project, (iv) establishes reporting requirements regarding the use of construction management by state public bodies, (v) directs the Auditor of Public Accounts to include, as part of his annual audit plan, a determination regarding whether a public institution of higher education designated with Tier 3 procurement authority is in compliance with the institution's internal review process in the selection of procurement method for construction, and (vi) requires all state public bodies to post on the central electronic procurement website of the Department of General Services approved projects and approved procurement methods for construction at least 30 days prior to soliciting for design services for such construction projects.
