Design-build authority for transit operators extended to 2015
On October 11, 2009, Governor Schwarzenegger signed into law AB 729 (Evans), revising the design-build statute applicable to transit operators. AB 729 extends the authority of public transit operators to use design-build contracting from January 1, 2011 to January 1, 2015. We interpret this to mean that transit operators must award, but not complete, a design-build contract prior to this date.
