Background:
Capital Projects Advisory Review Board.
The Capital Projects Advisory Review Board (CPARB) monitors and evaluates the use of traditional and alternative public works contracting procedures and evaluates potential future use of other alternative contracting procedures. The CPARB also provides a forum in which best practices and concerns about alternative public works contracting can be discussed.
Alternative Contracting Procedures.
Alternative public works contracting procedures include the design-build process and the general contractor construction manager process. With some restrictions, the use of alternative public works contracting procedures are authorized to a limited number of public entities. Public entities must apply to the Project Review Committee of the CPARB for certification to use the alternative contracting methods. After three years the public entity must reapply for certification. Criteria for certification includes the public body's qualifications to use alternative contracting methods, capital plan during the certification period, and intended use of alternative contracting.
Summary:
The Project Review Committee is authorized to accept late recertification applications on a case by case basis.
