What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill provides that a Department of Transportation contractor may at any

time propose cost reductions to DOT by identifying alternative approaches to

accomplishing the outcomes of the contract. If DOT determines that implementing

cost reductions proposed by a contractor would result in a project of equal or better

quality at a lower cost, DOT must amend the contract to authorize the

implementation of the cost reductions, incorporate the cost savings, and provide 50

percent of the cost savings to the contractor.
