Sherri Barnhardt <br /> <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Bluestein, Frayda S [Bluestein@iogmail.iog.unc.edu] <br />Friday, December 07, 2001 8:55 AM <br />The ncpurchasing mailing list <br />[ncpurchasing] New Legislation <br /> <br />As one of its last actions in the now concluded longest session in North <br />Carolina history, the General Assembly passed Senate Bill 914, which makes <br />significant changes in the requirements for public construction contracts. <br />Although the final version hasn't been posted yet, you will soon be able <br />to view the final text of the act at: <br />http:/t204.84.200.301gascriptslbi]lnumbedbillnumber.pl?Session=2001 &Billl <br />D=s+914. (Note: the sixth edition is not the final version.) <br /> <br />Most of the key provisions affecting local governments, including the <br />changes in dollar thresholds, will become effective for bids or proposals <br />solicited on or after January 1, 2002. <br /> <br />Key provisions include: <br />Increases formal limit for construction or repair work from $100,000 to <br />$300,000. <br />Increases formal limit for purchase of apparatus, supplies, materials, and <br />equipment from $50,000 to $90,000. <br />Authorizes public agencies to choose from among five options for building <br />construction or repair contracts: (1) Single prime only; (2) Multi prime <br />only; (3) Dual bidding (multi and single prime, unit may award either <br />way); (4) construction management at risk (procedures for which are set <br />out in detail in the new law); (5) and alternative methods authorized by <br />the State Building Commission. Requires reporting of costs and methods <br />chosen for each project. <br />Significantly increases the requirements for minority participation good <br />faith efforts in several ways. Adds minority participation outreach <br />requirements to the procedures governing selection of architects, <br />engineers, and surveyors, as well as for building construction contracts <br />in the informal range. Imposes a 10% goal for local building construction <br />contracts funded with state money. Delineates with specificity the good <br />faith efforts local governments must make, and those that local <br />governments must require contractors to make, including designating a <br />point system for evaluating what constitutes a sufficient good faith <br />effort. Requires the Secretary of the Dept. of Administration to develop <br />guidelines on the point system and goals for particular areas of work. <br />Makes local governments subject to state oversight if they fail to comply <br />with the requirements and imposes new reporting requirements on good faith <br />efforts programs. <br />Increases the thresholds in G.S. 133-1.1 for requirement of <br />architect/engineer design of public projects from $45,000 to $135,000 for <br />new construction or additions and structural repairs, and from $100,000 to <br />$300,000 for nonstructural repair <br />Adds new requirement for dispute resolution procedures on building <br />construction projects to be developed at the local level, which must <br />include mediation. <br />Clarifies statutes governing engineers and landscape architects to <br />delineate respective areas of work, and requires the respective boards to <br />develop an agreement regarding the overlap. <br />Other changes affect the approval and oversight of university projects. <br /> <br />A more complete summary of this and other legislation affecting public <br />purchasing and contracting will be posted as soon as it is completed. <br /> <br /> <br />
