AN ACT TO AMEND TITLE 29 OF THE DELAWARE CODE RELATING TO OPEN-END CONTRACTING FOR HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND RECONSTRUCTION.

Summary

The bill lets the Delaware Department of Transportation use open‑end (indefinite‑delivery) contracts for highway construction and reconstruction projects for a period of up to five years. These contracts can cover no more than a quarter of the department’s authorized capital improvement budget in any fiscal year, and they require specific bid and performance bond amounts. The change is meant to help the state finish road projects faster when contractor shortages or material price limits arise.
