HB1529 allows cities and towns to utilize county resources for road construction and maintenance.

HB1529 modifies public works procurement rules to facilitate county involvement in road construction and maintenance for cities and towns. It allows second-class cities and towns to contract with counties for road work without competitive bidding if the project cost is under $150,000 for multi-trade projects or $75,500 for single-trade projects. Cities and towns must invite proposals from certified minority or women contractors when possible. The bill also allows counties to perform road work using their own employees, provided the work value does not exceed $300,000.
