Pennsylvania HB1608 establishes a design build best value procurement process for highway projects.

Pennsylvania HB1608 introduces a design build best value procurement process for highway projects, allowing the Department of Transportation and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to use this method for certain projects. This process involves a two-step procurement where agencies first request statements of qualifications and then technical and price proposals. The bill outlines procedures for evaluating proposals, compensating unsuccessful offerors, and maintaining confidentiality of alternative technical concepts.
