A BILL FOR AN ACT
RELATING TO INNOVATIVE PROJECT DELIVERY GUIDELINES.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. The legislature finds that there is a public need for timely design, construction, improvement, renovation, expansion, modernization, equipping, maintenance, operation, implementation, and installation of public infrastructure and state government facilities, as existing public procurement methods are not wholly satisfying this need.
The legislature also finds that enabling innovative project delivery modalities that allow state agencies to leverage limited resources with private sector capital and expertise may benefit public safety and welfare.
The legislature additionally finds that
according to the attorney general, the state procurement code does not preclude
the use of innovative project delivery models, including design-build-finance-operate-maintain
contracts by state agencies.
While well-structured innovative project delivery approaches can benefit state and local communities by optimizing risk transfer, accelerating delivery, incentivizing innovation, and ensuring life-cycle asset management at prescribed service levels, the legislature recognizes that these arrangements may also involve long-term, direct, and contingent obligations to the State. Consequently, the application and use of innovative project delivery requires additional consideration by the legislature.
The purpose of this Act is to establish adequate safeguards, procedures, and protocols for innovative project delivery arrangements for public infrastructure.
SECTION 2. (a) The purpose of this Act is to establish requirements for the development of guidelines and procedures that will enable state agencies to enter into innovative project delivery arrangements for qualified public infrastructure projects.
(b)
This Act shall only apply to contractual arrangements in which state agencies
undertake to engage a delivery partner pursuant to chapter 103D, Hawaii Revised
Statutes, for the design, construction, operation, or maintenance of a facility
or infrastructure project that serves a public purpose, with the delivery partner assuming all or a
substantial part of the risks associated with the financing, delivery, and
operation of the project.
(c)
This Act shall not apply to:
(1) Budget-neutral contracting approaches for the design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of building improvements that reduce energy and increase operational efficiency; or
(2) Facility or infrastructure projects serving a public purpose that have a capital cost of less than $10,000,000.
SECTION 3. For purposes of this Act:
"Delivery partner"
means a private entity that has entered into a qualified innovative project
delivery agreement with a public entity.
"Innovative project
delivery" means a contractual arrangement under which a delivery partner
carries out the design, rehabilitation, construction, financing, operation, or
maintenance of a public facility or infrastructure project over a contractually
defined period while assuming all or a substantial part of the risks associated
with the delivery and performance of the public purpose facility or infrastructure
project. Innovative project delivery may
involve any of the following activities or any combination thereof:
(1) Design, construction, financing, maintenance, or operation of new infrastructure facilities;
(2) Rehabilitation, modernization, financing, expansion, maintenance, and operation of existing infrastructure facilities; and
(3) Administration, management, operation, maintenance, or other services pertaining to new or existing infrastructure facilities.
The term "innovative project delivery" shall only apply when the delivery partner assumes significant economic risk and the public sector retains ownership of the public purpose infrastructure asset. The term "innovative project delivery" shall not apply to ground leases on public properties when the development on the property is primarily or materially for private or non-public use.
"Private entity" means a natural person, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, or other private business entity.
"Public entity" means any department, commission, council, board, bureau, authority, committee, institution, legislative body, agency, government corporation, or other establishment or office of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the State, including the office of Hawaiian affairs.
SECTION 4. (a) There is created the innovative project delivery guidelines task force within the department of accounting and general services to establish guidelines to institute safeguards, procedures, and protocols around the use of innovative project delivery arrangements for public infrastructure, in protection of the public interest.
