Q: When did the new public construction reform law take effect?
A: Chapter 193 of the Acts of 2004, “An Act Further Regulating Public Construction in the Commonwealth,” was signed into law on July 19, 2004. The new law became effective immediately, with the exception of sections 18 and 27, pertaining to new requirements for sub-bidder certification and alternative procurement delivery methods, respectively, which do not become effective until January 1, 2005.
Chapter 193 changed public construction statutes, thresholds, and procedures to be followed for public construction projects. The new law includes new higher thresholds for general and filed sub-bidders, certification requirements for filed sub-bidders, prequalification requirements for general bidders and filed sub-bidders on certain public building projects, a project manager requirement for certain projects, and a new statute (M.G.L. Ch. 149A) to permit the use of the construction-manager-at-risk alternative delivery method on larger public building construction projects. The new law also permits the use of the design-build construction delivery method for larger public works projects.
