1.23A negotiated contract or agreement between a vendor and a state agency which requires an
1.24audit by the state agency prior to acceptance and payment of the vendor's invoice shall not
1.25be considered past due until 30 days after the completion of the audit by the state agency.
1.26Before any interest payment is made, the vendor must invoice the state agency for such
1.27interest. For construction contracts, "receipt of an invoice" means a payment estimate or
1.28payment application has been approved by the engineer or architect, as applicable, provided
1.29the estimates and applications are made at regular intervals as specified in the contract.
2.1(b) The rate of interest paid by the agency on undisputed bills not paid within 30
2.2days shall be 1-1/2 percent per month or any part thereof.
2.3(c) All interest penalties and collection costs must be paid from the agency's current
2.4operating budget. No agency may seek to increase its appropriation for the purpose of
2.5obtaining funds to pay interest penalties or collection costs.
2.6(d) Any vendor who prevails in a civil action to collect interest penalties from a state
2.7agency shall be awarded its costs and disbursements, including attorney's fees, incurred
2.8in bringing the actions.
2.9(e) No interest penalties may accrue against an agency that delays payment of a bill
2.10due to a disagreement with the vendor; provided, that the dispute must be settled within 30
2.11days after the bill became overdue. Upon the resolution of the dispute, the agency must
2.12pay the vendor accrued interest on all proper invoices for which payment was not received
2.13within the applicable time limit contained in subdivision 3. No interest penalties accrue
2.14against an agency for claims made by a contractor under a construction contract.
2.15(f) The minimum monthly interest penalty payment that a state agency shall pay a
2.16vendor for the unpaid balance for any one overdue bill equal to or in excess of $100 is
2.17$10. For unpaid balances of less than $100, the state agency shall pay the actual penalty
2.18due to the vendor.

2.20 Subd. 1f. Best-value alternative. As an alternative to the procurement method
2.21described in subdivisions 1a to 1e, the commissioner may issue a request for proposals and
2.22award the contract to the vendor or contractor offering the best value as described in section
2.2316C.28, subdivision 1

2.31default, within the control of the contractor, the commissioner may negotiate with others,
2.32with the approval of the defaulting contractor's surety, for the completion of the contract
2.33according to the terms and provisions of the contract.
3.1 Sec. 4. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 161.3209, subdivision 2, is amended to read:

3.23(12) any other information desired by the commissioner.
3.24(b) Before receiving any responses to the RFP:
3.25(1) the commissioner shall appoint a technical review committee of at least five
3.26individuals, of which one is a Department of Transportation manager who is also a
3.27licensed professional engineer in Minnesota;
3.28(2) the technical review committee shall evaluate the construction manager/general
3.29contractor proposals according to criteria and subcriteria published in the RFP and
3.30procedures established by the commissioner. The commissioner shall, as designated in
3.31the RFP, evaluate construction manager/general contractor proposals on the basis of best
3.32value as defined in section16C.05 , or using the qualifications-based selection process set
3.33forth in section16C.095 , except that subdivision 1 of section
16C.095 shall not apply. If
3.34the commissioner does not receive at least two proposals from construction managers,
3.35the commissioner may:
3.36(i) solicit new proposals;

4.4(3) the technical review committee shall evaluate the responses to the request for
4.5proposals and rank the construction manager/general contractor based on the predefined
4.6criteria set forth in the RFP in accordance with paragraph (a), clause (2).
4.7(c) Unless all proposals are rejected, the commissioner shall conduct contract
4.8negotiations for a preconstruction services contract with the construction manager/general
4.9contractor with the highest ranking. If the construction manager/general contractor with the
4.10highest ranking declines or is unable to reach an agreement, the commissioner may begin
4.11contract negotiations with the next highest ranked construction manager/general contractor.
4.12(d) Before issuing the RFP, the commissioner may elect to issue a request for
4.13qualifications (RFQ) and short-list the most highly qualified construction managers/general
4.14contractors. The RFQ must include the procedures for submitting statements of
4.15qualification, the criteria for evaluation of qualifications, and the relative weight for each
4.16criterion. The statements of qualifications must be evaluated by the technical review
4.17committee. The commissioner must reject any statement of qualifications not received
4.18by the deadline established in the RFQ.
4.19 Sec. 5. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 161.3420, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
4.20 Subd. 4. Evaluation. The selection team shall evaluate the design-build
4.21qualifications of responding firms and shall compile a short list of no more than five most
4.22highly qualified firms in accordance with qualifications criteria described in the request for
4.23qualifications (RFQ). If only one design-build firm responds to the RFQ or remains on the
4.24short list, the commissioner may readvertise or cancel the project as the commissioner
4.25deems necessary. The commissioner must reject any response to the RFQ not received
4.26by the deadline established in the RFQ.
4.27 Sec. 6. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 161.3426, subdivision 1, is amended to read:
4.28 Subdivision 1. Award; computation; announcement. Except as provided in
4.29subdivision 2, a design-build contract shall be awarded as follows:
4.30(a) The Technical Review Committee shall score the technical proposals using the
4.31selection criteria in the request for proposals (RFP). The Technical Review Committee
4.32shall then submit a technical proposal score for each design-builder to the commissioner.
4.33The Technical Review Committee shall reject any proposal it deems nonresponsive, and
4.34must reject any proposal not received by the deadline established in the RFP.
5.1(b) The commissioner shall announce the technical proposal score for each
5.2design-builder and shall publicly open the sealed price proposals and shall divide each
5.3design-builder's price by the technical score that the Technical Review Committee has
5.4given to it to obtain an adjusted score. The design-builder selected must be that responsive
5.5and responsible design-builder whose adjusted score is the lowest.
5.6(c) If a time factor is included with the selection criteria in the RFP package, the
5.7commissioner may also adjust the bids using a value of the time factor established
5.8by the commissioner. The value of the time factor must be expressed as a value per
5.9day. The adjustment must be based on the total time value. The total time value is the
5.10design-builder's total number of days to complete the project multiplied by the factor. The
5.11time-adjusted price is the total time value plus the bid amount. This adjustment must be
5.12used for selection purposes only, and must not affect the Department of Transportation's
5.13liquidated damages schedule or incentive or disincentive program. An adjusted score
5.14must then be obtained by dividing each design-builder's time-adjusted price by the score
5.15given by the technical review team. The commissioner shall select the responsive and
5.16responsible design-builder whose adjusted score is the lowest.
5.17(d) Unless all proposals are rejected, the commissioner shall award the contract
5.18to the responsive and responsible design-builder with the lowest adjusted score. The
5.19commissioner shall reserve the right to reject all proposals.
5.20 Sec. 7. Minnesota Statutes 2012, section 161.3426, subdivision 4, is amended to read:
5.21 Subd. 4. Low-bid design-build process. (a) The commissioner may also use
5.22low-bid, design-build procedures to award a design-build contract where the scope of
5.23the work can be clearly defined.
5.24(b) Low-bid design-build projects may require a request for qualifications (RFQ)
5.25and short-listing, and must require a request for proposals (RFP). If an RFQ is used, the
5.26commissioner must reject any statement of qualifications not received by the deadline
5.27established in the RFQ.
5.28(c) Submitted proposals under this subdivision must include separately a technical
5.29proposal and a price proposal. The commissioner must reject any technical proposal
5.30or price proposal not received by the deadline established in the RFP. The low-bid,
5.31design-build procedures must follow a two-step process for review of the responses to
5.32the RFP as follows:
5.33(1) The first step is the review of the technical proposal by the Technical Review
5.34Committee as provided in section161.3420, subdivision 2 . The Technical Review
5.35Committee must open the technical proposal first and must determine if it complies with
6.1the requirements of the RFP and is responsive. The Technical Review Committee may not
6.2perform any ranking or scoring of the technical proposals.
6.3(2) The second step is the determination of the low bidder based on the price
6.4proposal. The commissioner may not open the price proposal until the review of the
6.5technical proposal is complete.
6.6(d) The contract award under low-bid, design-build procedures must be made to the
6.7proposer whose sealed bid is responsive to the technical requirements as determined by
6.8the Technical Review Committee and that is also the lowest bid.
6.9(e) A stipulated fee may be paid for unsuccessful bids on low-bid, design-build
6.10projects only when the commissioner has required an RFQ and short-listed the most
6.11highly qualified responsive bidders.

6.17(b) The commissioner may not sell or otherwise dispose of property under this
6.18subdivision unless: (1) an analysishas been performed of suitability of the property
6.19for bicycle or pedestrian facilities, which must take into account consider any relevant
6.20nonmotorized transportation plans or in the absence of such plans, demographic and
6.21development factors affecting the region; and (2) the analysis, demonstrates that (i) the
6.22property is not reasonably suitable for bicycle or pedestrian facilities, and (ii) there is not

4.11contract negotiations with the next highest ranked construction manager/general contractor.
4.12(d) Before issuing the RFP, the commissioner may elect to issue a request for
4.13qualifications (RFQ) and short-list the most highly qualified construction managers/general
4.14contractors. The RFQ must include the procedures for submitting statements of

5.12used for selection purposes only, and must not affect the Department of Transportation's
5.13liquidated damages schedule or incentive or disincentive program. An adjusted score
5.14must then be obtained by dividing each design-builder's time-adjusted price by the score
5.15given by the technical review team. The commissioner shall select the responsive and
5.16responsible design-builder whose adjusted score is the lowest.

6.1the requirements of the RFP and is responsive. The Technical Review Committee may not
6.2perform any ranking or scoring of the technical proposals.
6.3(2) The second step is the determination of the low bidder based on the price
6.4proposal. The commissioner may not open the price proposal until the review of the
6.5technical proposal is complete.
6.6(d) The contract award under low-bid, design-build procedures must be made to the
6.7proposer whose sealed bid is responsive to the technical requirements as determined by
6.8the Technical Review Committee and that is also the lowest bid.
