SB 607
SB 607 lets West Virginia airports use federally approved project delivery methods like design-build to streamline capital improvement procurement beyond traditional bid processes.
SB 607 authorizes West Virginia airports to use federally approved project delivery methods for capital improvement projects, moving beyond traditional design-bid-build procurement approaches. The bill enables airports to adopt alternative delivery methods such as design-build, construction manager at-risk, and other approaches already approved by federal authorities like the FAA and DOT.
Airport capital projects often face scheduling delays and cost overruns under traditional sequential procurement. Allowing federally pre-approved alternative delivery methods can streamline project timelines, reduce administrative burden, and potentially lower costs by enabling parallel design and construction phases. This flexibility is particularly valuable for smaller and mid-sized airports with limited staff resources.
