House Bill 652: Transportation Goods Unit Pricing Cost
Introduced: Representative Allen Chesser (R-025)
Summary: The bill’s main purpose is to modify the calculation of transportation goods and their unit pricing cost. With a rolling three-year average being used.
Design-Build Impact: NCDOT shall adopt procedures in all stages of the construction process to streamline project delivery, including consolidating environmental review processes, expediting multiagency reviews, accelerating right-of-way acquisitions, and pursuing design build and other processes to collapse project stages. This method is mainly to ensure that no Highway Division shall exceed a ten percent (10%) variance over a baseline unit price set for that year. This all could end up impacting the completion process and engagement with design-build projects that the state’s transportation authorities engage in.
Last Action: September 12, 2025: The bill has now carried over to second session.
