Introduced

The Board of Public Buildings shall supervise all public property of the state except for that deeded to the Department of Education, the Conservation Commission, and the Highways and Transportation Commission. The board may also dispose of state property to complete time sensitive transactions when requested by the Commissioner of Administration without approval of the Committee on Legislative Research when the General Assembly is out of session.

Currently, there is a Division of Facilities Management. This act combines that division with the Division of Design and Construction to form the "Division of Facilities Management, Design, and Construction" in the Office of Administration to be responsible for the design, construction, renovations, and repair of state facilities. Traffic and parking violations are increased under the act.

Previously, all bids over $25,000 had to be granted to the lowest bidder. This act raises that floor to $100,000 and amends the notice requirements for the acceptance of bids. The competitive bid requirement may be waived when there is a threat to life, property, public health or safety, or further damage or loss. The director may require pre-qualification of bidders.

This act creates the criteria for deciding on and implementing design-build, construction manager-at-risk, and job order contracting projects including guidelines for requests for proposals, qualifications of contractors, design criteria, and qualifications for technical proposals.

The Governor shall have the power to convey and transfer title of real property of the state other than property owned by the state Highways and Transportation Commission, Conservation Commission, Department of Natural Resources, and the University of Missouri.

Under current law, all public entities, in making contracts for public works over $25,000, must require all contractors to furnish a bond for payment of materials and insurance. This act raises that floor to $100,000.

This act repeals provisions allowing the state environmental improvement and energy resources authority and the Board of Public Buildings to authorize the sale of bonds to fund energy efficiency projects.

This act also repeals provisions requiring the Department of Natural Resources to analyze all state buildings for energy efficiency. The director of the Division of Design and Construction must no longer require a design professional to submit analysis meeting the programs space and use requirements when major energy systems are involved.
