Pub. Contract Code, § 6950 · Chapter 6.6. Alternative Project Delivery Program: Construction Manager/General Contractor Authority
Pub. Contract Code, § 6950
Text — As published in the Legislative Counsel's database, tables dated October 18, 2026 (pubinfo_2025.zip)
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) The alternative public works project delivery methods authorized under this chapter should be evaluated for the purposes of exploring whether the potential exists for reduced project costs, expedited project completion, or design features that are not achievable through the traditional project delivery methods.
(b) The design sequencing and Construction Manager/General Contractor project delivery methods rely on existing design-bid-build and design-build procurement methods respectively and have been successfully used by both public and private sector entities in California and other states for over a decade on projects that require a quick startup as they allow construction to begin before the design plans are complete for the entire project.
(c) Both methods also have the benefit of allowing for earlier collaboration between the project owner and construction contractor.
(d) This chapter shall not be deemed to provide a preference for these project delivery methods over other delivery methodologies.
