What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill requires the Department of Transportation, in its specifications for

highway improvements, to encourage the use of materials sourced from within the

right-of-way of the proposed improvement. The bill also provides the following: 1)

DOT may not charge for any materials sourced from within the right-of-way, 2) the

bidder may include those potential cost savings in its bid, and 3) the bidder is

responsible for any unanticipated costs in sourcing alternate materials if the

materials proposed to be sourced from within the right-of-way do not satisfy the

applicable specifications for the highway improvement or are more costly to utilize

than anticipated, or if the bidder fails to receive all necessary approvals, other than

the approval of the department, to excavate or remove the materials.
