A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to clarify when the public bidding process must be used under a reimbursement agreement.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 153A‑451 reads as rewritten:
"§ 153A‑451. Reimbursement agreements.
(a) A county may enter into reimbursement agreements with private developers and property owners for the design and construction of municipal infrastructure that is included on the county's Capital Improvement Plan and serves the developer or property owner. For the purpose of this act, municipal infrastructure includes, without limitation, water mains, sanitary sewer lines, lift stations, stormwater lines, streets, curb and gutter, sidewalks, traffic control devices, and other associated facilities.
(b) A county shall enact ordinances setting forth procedures and terms under which such agreements may be approved.
(c) A county may provide for such reimbursements to be paid from any lawful source.
(d) Reimbursement agreements authorized by this
section shall not be subject to Article 8 of Chapter 143 of the General
Statutes, except as provided by this subsection. A Unless the
developer or property is designing and constructing the municipal infrastructure
themselves, a developer or property owner who is party to a reimbursement
agreement authorized under this section shall solicit bids in accordance with
Article 8 of Chapter 143 of the General Statutes when awarding contracts for
work that would have required competitive bidding if the contract had been
awarded by the county."
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective July 1, 2013, and applies to reimbursement agreements entered into on or after that date.
