TO AMEND THE SOUTH CAROLINA CODE OF LAWS BY ADDING SECTION 
57-5-1710 SO AS TO PROVIDE THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MAY ESTABLISH AND 
IMPLEMENT A PROJECT TO AWARD CONTRACTS USING THE "PHASE DESIGN-BUILD" PROJECT 
DELIVERY METHOD.

Be it enacted by the 
General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

SECTION 1. Article 11, Chapter 5, Title 57 of the S.C. Code is 
amended by adding:

 Section 
57-5-1710. (A) As contained in this 
section, "Phase Design-Build" means a project delivery method that uses a 
stepped, or progressive qualifications-based selection process, followed by a 
progression to a contract price. The Department of Transportation must select 
the Phase Design-Build team exclusively on qualifications, without 
consideration of schedule or costs, which must deliver the project in two 
distinct phases with two separate contracts. The Phase Design-Build team is 
initially under contract for preconstruction activities including, but not 
limited to, developing preliminary designs, performing constructability 
reviews, and developing construction schedules and pricing. If the department 
and the Phase Design-Build team reach agreement on a guaranteed maximum 
construction cost, the department and the Phase Design-Build team will execute 
a second contract for completion of the preliminary designs and construction of 
the project.

 (B) 
The department may only award a contract under this section if the department:

 (1) 
determines the project cost is less than five hundred million dollars 
($500,000,000);

 (2) 
determines that it is in the public's interest to use the Phase Design-Build 
project delivery method; and

 (3) 
prequalifies the prime contractor and lead designer firm that will be awarded 
the contract.

 (C) 
The department shall develop and implement Phase Design-Build guidelines prior 
to awarding contracts pursuant to this section.

SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval 
by the Governor.
