SENATE BILL 1135
AN ACT to allow the department of transportation to use the design-build method of contracting for the multilaning of us highway 601 from the south carolina state line to us highway 74 in union county.
Whereas, the segment of US Highway 601 from the South Carolina State line to US Highway 74 in Union County is one of the most hazardous in the State, with numerous fatalities; and
Whereas, using the design-build method can speed up the multilaning of this segment by several years, as well as saving money; and
Whereas, the Department of Transportation is currently limited in the number of design-build contracts it can award; Now, therefore,
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. In addition to the authority granted by G.S. 136-28.11, the Department of Transportation may award contracts by the design-build method for the multilaning of US Highway 601 from the South Carolina State line to US Highway 74 in Union County.
SECTION 2. This act is effective when it becomes law.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 30th day of July, 2002.
