Minnesota HF2759 establishes a pilot program for using qualification-based selection methods for engineering services on certain road construction.

Minnesota HF2759 mandates the use of qualification-based selection methods for engineering and design professionals on at least five road construction projects annually from October 1, 2025, to March 1, 2028. These projects must have engineering consultant fees exceeding $800,000 per year. The commissioner of transportation must submit preliminary and final reports to legislative committees, detailing the impact of these selection methods on procurement timelines, project quality, change orders, and sustainability.
