Adjusts monetary limits for state highway construction and ferry vessel maintenance work.

The bill modifies the monetary thresholds for state highway construction work and ferry vessel maintenance. For state highways, work can be done by state forces if the estimated cost is less than $100,000, or $160,000 if it would jeopardize safety. For ferry vessels and terminals, work under $100,000 can be done by state forces, and between $100,000 and $200,000, contractors on the small works roster are contacted. The Department of Transportation must analyze methods to reduce vessel out-of-service times and develop a ferry vessel maintenance program.
