In December 2019, the governor signed the “New York City Public Works Investment Act” to permit several city agencies to use two-step design-build contracts. They include the Department of Design and Construction, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Transportation, Department of Parks and Recreation, Health and Hospitals Corporation, School Construction Authority and Housing Authority.
Since publication of the 2021 Design-Build Progress Report, the City successfully advocated for and received a five-year extension of the PWIA from the State. In addition, the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) was authorized to use design-build. The City recommends further modifying the PWIA to allow more flexibility in structuring design-build procurements to shrink procurement schedules, maximize collaboration between the City and proposing teams, and control costs. The City recommends that legislation permit a single-step RFP process (as opposed to a two-step process) referred to as progressive Design-build (PDB).

(13) Bid evaluation, contract award and execution procedure. —
a. The contracting agency shall award any public works contract within 30 days of the bid opening to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, unless the agency elects to award on the basis of best value, in which case the election to award on the basis of best value shall be stated in the invitation to bid.
4. A. If the agency elects to award on the basis of best value, the agency must determine that the successful bidder is responsive and responsible, as defined in this subsection. The determination of best value shall be based upon objective criteria that have been communicated to the bidders in the invitation to bid. The following objective criteria shall be assigned a weight consistent with all of the following:
I. Price — must be at least 70% but no more than 90%.
II. Schedule — must be at least 10% but no more than 20%.
III. Performance — must be at least 10% but no more than 20%.
B. Performance criterion must be based on a contractor’s performance rating as determined by the agency’s performance-based rating system. The agency’s performance-based rating system must be based on previous contracting performance and may not be based on a set of prescriptive rules favoring a particular business model or business procedure. The performance-based rating system must be defined in regulations promulgated by the Secretary of the agency and must include a procedure for a contractor to appeal a performance-based rating.
C. A weighted average stated in the invitation to bid shall be applied to each criterion according to its importance to each project. The agency shall rank the bidder according to the established criteria and award to the highest ranked bidder.
b. A contract may be awarded to a bidder other than the lowest responsible and responsive bidder if, in the opinion of the contracting agency, the interest of the agency shall be better served by awarding the contract to another bidder. Such award shall be made only if the contracting agency makes a written determination of the award describing the reason or reasons why such award better serves the interest of the agency. The reason or reasons for making such award may include, but are not limited to, unsatisfactory performance on any previously awarded contract by the bidder being rejected.
The Clean Water Fund (SRF) program in CT does not allow the use of design-build project delivery methods. CT-CWF program requires all projects to go through the design-bid-build process. CWF is the primary financial program in CT for municipal water and wastewater projects. Local governments will have their own requirements for procuring engineering or construction services which they can employ if local funds are being used. However, municipal governments pursuing CWF funds will need to abide by the programmatic and regulatory requirements under the CWF program in order to remain eligible for CWF funding assistance. CWF’s procurement requirements will supersede local requirements.

Notwithstanding any provision of the general statutes to the contrary, each state agency awarding a contract through competitive negotiation shall include price as an explicit factor in the criteria in the request for proposals and for the contract award.

CA SB 706 (October 8, 2023)
Existing law authorizes the Director of General Services to use the progressive design-build procurement process for the construction of up to 3 capital outlay projects, as jointly determined by the Department of General Services and the Department of Finance, and prescribes that process. Existing law defines “progressive design-build” as a project delivery process in which both the design and construction of a project are procured from a single entity that is selected through a qualifications-based selection at the earliest feasible stage of the project. Existing law, until January 1, 2029, authorizes local agencies, defined as any city, county, city and county, or special district authorized by law to provide for the production, storage, supply, treatment, or distribution of any water from any source, to use the progressive design-build process for up to 15 public works projects in excess of $5,000,000 for each project, similar to the progressive design-build process authorized for use by the Director of General Services. Existing law requires a local agency that uses the progressive design-build process to submit, no later than January 1, 2028, to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature a report on the use of the progressive design-build process containing specified information, including a description of the projects awarded using the progressive design-build process. Existing law requires the design-build entity and its general partners or joint venture members to verify specified information under penalty of perjury. This bill would, until January 1, 2030, provide additional authority for cities, counties, cities and counties, or special districts to use the progressive design-build process for up to 10 public works in excess of $5,000,000, not limited to water-related projects, excluding projects on state-owned or state-operated facilities. The bill would require information to be provided under penalty of perjury and would require similar reports due no later than December 31, 2028.
