Local Government, General - As enacted, authorizes a local government to use any project delivery method that the local government determines most effectively meets the needs of the local government for the construction of qualified local projects, if the local government meets certain requirements. - Amends TCA Title 12, Chapter 3, Part 12.
HB 2407 allows Tennessee local governments with at least $20 million in annual revenue to choose any construction project delivery method (like design-build or construction manager at-risk) for projects costing over $5 million, instead of being restricted to traditional methods. It requires these governments to select contractors through a competitive proposal process and confirms their existing rules permit this approach. The bill directly affects counties, cities, school districts, and other qualifying local entities when planning major construction projects. This change aims to give local governments flexibility in how they manage large-scale building projects while maintaining competitive selection standards.
