This bill gives the South Dakota Department of Transportation three different methods to contract for highway construction projects on the trunk highway system: traditional design-bid-build, indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity contracts, and emergency procurement—instead of the previous requirement to always award contracts to the lowest competent bidder. The bill also allows the Transportation Commission to set rules about how bids are advertised, how contractors are qualified, and how bids are submitted and accepted.
