An Act amending Title 74 (Transportation) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in transportation infrastructure, providing for design build best value.

This bill authorizes the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to use a "design build best value" method for selecting contractors on highway and bridge projects. Instead of choosing a winner solely based on the lowest price, this process allows the commission to evaluate proposals based on a combination of technical merit, innovation, schedule, and cost. The legislation sets specific rules for how these projects are advertised and selected, including limits on the number of such procurements allowed per year and requirements for public notice. It also defines the terms used in the process, such as "alternative technical concepts," which permit bidders to suggest improvements to the original project requirements.
