The purpose of this bill is to require that each state public works contract include a provision requiring a definitive completion date and that contractors awarded such contracts be required to meet the time restriction. The bill also defines "public works construction contract" and provides a monetary penalty for failure to complete a public works construction project on the agreed-upon completion date. It also provides exceptions in which extensions may be granted while providing limitations upon an increase in the contract price or extension of time to complete a project in the event of change orders. Finally, it directs the Secretary of the Department of Administration to propose legislative rules designed to implement the law.
