SHB 1127 -
By Representative Kirby
ADOPTED 03/10/2005
Beginning on page 2, line 18, after "to" strike all material
through page 4, line 2 and insert "((:)) county governments, city governments, public
nonprofit corporations authorized under RCW 67.40.020, port districts
authorized under chapter 53.04 RCW, or regional transit authorities
authorized under RCW 81.112.030, when the actual or estimated aggregate
value of a public construction project exclusive of insurance and
surety costs, exceeds two hundred million dollars.
(a) The public nonprofit corporation authorized under RCW
67.40.020;
(b) Projects in excess of one hundred million dollars for port
districts formed under chapter 53.04 RCW;
(c) A regional transit authority authorized under RCW 81.112.030;
or
(d) Projects in excess of one hundred million dollars for counties
with a population over one million, for projects administered for
public hospitals.
For purposes of applying the two hundred million dollar threshold
in this subsection, "public construction project" means projects with
phases, segments, or component parts relating to a common geographic
site or public transportation system. "Public construction project"
does not mean the aggregation of unrelated construction projects.
