| Section 5. Legislative policy. It is the intent of the | 7 |
| General Assembly
that
State construction agencies be allowed to | 8 |
| use the design-build delivery method
for public
projects if it | 9 |
| is shown to be in the State's best interest for that particular
| 10 |
| project. It shall be the policy of State construction agencies | 11 |
| in the
procurement of
design-build services to publicly | 12 |
| announce all requirements for design-build
services and to | 13 |
| procure these services on the basis of demonstrated competence
| 14 |
| and qualifications and with due regard for the principles of | 15 |
| competitive
selection.
| 16 |
| A State construction agency shall, prior to issuing | 17 |
| requests for proposals,
promulgate
and publish procedures for | 18 |
| the solicitation and award of contracts pursuant to
this Act.
| 19 |
| A State construction agency shall, for each public project | 20 |
| or projects
permitted under
this Act, make a written | 21 |
| determination, including a description as to the
particular | 22 |
| advantages of the design-build procurement method, that it is | 23 |
| in the
best interests of this State to enter into a | 24 |
| design-build contract for the
project or projects. In making |

| that determination, the following factors shall
be considered:
| 2 |
| (1) The probability that the design-build procurement | 3 |
| method will be in
the best interests of the State by | 4 |
| providing a material savings of time or
cost over the | 5 |
| design-bid-build or other delivery system.
| 6 |
| (2) The type and size of the project and its | 7 |
| suitability to the
design-build procurement method.
| 8 |
| (3) The ability of the State construction agency to | 9 |
| define and provide
comprehensive
scope and performance | 10 |
| criteria for the project.
| 11 |
| The State construction agency shall within 15 days after | 12 |
| the initial
determination provide an advisory copy to the | 13 |

it deems necessary for a proper | 15 |
| qualification review.
| 16 |
| The State construction agency may not consider any | 17 |
| design-build entity for
evaluation or
award if the entity has | 18 |
| any pecuniary interest in the project or has other
| 19 |
| relationships or circumstances, including but not limited to, | 20 |
| long-term
leasehold, mutual performance, or development | 21 |
| contracts with the State
construction agency,
that may give the | 22 |
| design-build entity a financial or tangible advantage over
| 23 |
| other design-build entities in the preparation, evaluation, or | 24 |

the
design-build contract or that create the | 25 |
| appearance of impropriety.

| 30 |
| maximum number of
entities as identified for Phase II | 31 |
| evaluation, provided however, no less than
