Relating to the design-build method for certain government construction projects.

SB 1301 amends Texas Government Code sections 2269.352 and 2269.353 to regulate the use of the design-build contracting method for certain government construction projects. It applies to governmental entities with populations over 100,000 or specific transportation boards (like those under Chapter 54 of the Transportation Code), restricting them to single integrated projects per contract. Key provisions prohibit bundling multiple locations into one contract, except for defined cases like linear transit projects (e.g., bus routes with multiple stops) or comprehensive water/wastewater infrastructure (e.g., treatment plants with connected facilities). The law takes effect September 1, 2025.
