Section 6800.  


Latest version.
  • The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

    The design-build method of procurement authorized under this chapter should be evaluated for the purposes of exploring whether the potential exists for reduced project costs, expedited project completion, or design features that are not achievable through the traditional design-bid-build method. A demonstration program will allow for a careful examination of the benefits and challenges of design-build contracting on a limited number of projects. This chapter shall not be deemed to provide a preference for the design-build method over other procurement methodologies.

(Added by Stats. 2009, 2nd Ex. Sess., Ch. 2, Sec. 3. Effective May 21, 2009. Repealed as of January 1, 2014, pursuant to Section 6813.)
