AB 2374: Construction Manager/General Contractor method: regional transportation agency: County of Placer: bridges.

Existing law authorizes regional transportation agencies, as defined, to use the Construction Manager/General Contractor project delivery method, as specified, to design and construct certain expressways that are not on the state highway system if: (1) the expressways are developed in accordance with an expenditure plan approved by voters, (2) there is an evaluation of the traditional design-bid-build method of construction and of the Construction Manager/General Contractor method, and (3) the board of the regional transportation agency adopts the method in a public meeting.

This bill would authorize the use of the Construction Manager/General Contractor method for the construction of 2 specified bridges that are not on the state highway system. For the purposes only of this authorization, the bill would include the County of Placer within the definition of a regional transportation agency. The bill would also remove the requirement that a project be developed in accordance with an expenditure plan approved by voters.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for bridges located in the County of Placer and the City and County of San Francisco.
