Senate Bill 262: Variations From Industry Standard Form
Introduced: Senator Louis Blessing (R-08)
Summary: Will require a public authority or other party to a construction contract to note variations from an industry standard form.
Design-Build Impact: When utilizing an industry standard published construction management contract form, the public authority shall provide the contract form in a manner that indicates any alteration to the standard form by striking through and underlining any changes to the original language of the standard form or by cross-referencing conditions that are supplemental to the standard form. Failure to indicate an alteration to the original language of the standard form in the manner required above results in the alteration being void and without effect such that the original language prevails. The above will also apply to any design-build firms and projects within the state.
