SB 2334 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

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.

SB 2334 allows Tennessee local governments with at least $20 million in annual revenue to choose any construction project delivery method (like design-build, design-bid-build, or construction manager at-risk) for projects costing over $5 million. It requires these governments to select contractors through a competitive process and confirms existing local rules authorize such selections. The bill directly affects counties, cities, utility districts, and other local entities meeting the revenue threshold. It does not change existing requirements for smaller projects or governments below the revenue limit. The law would take effect upon enactment.
