Public facilities; clarifying certain fee. Effective date.

Summary

The bill amends the state’s contract award statutes to let the Office of Management and Enterprise Services negotiate with the lowest responsible bidder when all bids exceed estimates because of sudden cost spikes, and to set fees for required consulting work. It also authorizes the Office to provide facility‑management services on a cost‑recovery basis and to grant exemptions to agencies that meet specified standards. The changes are intended to curb construction overruns and improve facility‑management efficiency.
