HB 2474 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing design-build contracts

HB 2474 revises Missouri's design-build contract rules, primarily affecting local governments (like cities, counties, and school districts) that build public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and public buildings. The bill defines key terms like "design-build contract" and "design criteria package" to standardize the process, requiring political subdivisions to create detailed project specifications before soliciting bids. It establishes a role for a licensed "design criteria consultant" to help develop these specifications without being allowed to bid on the project. These changes clarify how local governments select contractors for design-build projects while ensuring clear project requirements are set upfront.
