Washington HB1970 amends state law to allow public bodies to use alternative contracting procedures for highway construction projects.

Washington HB1970 amends state law to allow public bodies to use the design-build or general contractor/construction manager contracting procedures for highway construction projects. Public bodies must apply for certification to use these procedures, which is valid for three years. The Department of Transportation is not subject to these certification requirements. The bill also allows for the revocation of certification if it is found that the use of these procedures no longer serves the public interest.
