SCS/SB 167 - This act modifies the definition of "contractor", for purposes of public works construction bonds, to include persons and business entities that contract, provide, or arrange for construction services on a public works project for a non-governmental purpose when acting as a lessee, agent, designee, or representative of a public entity. The act exempts construction managers not-at-risk and construction managers who do not otherwise enter into contracts with contractors for the furnishing of labor, materials, or services to a public works project from the definition of "contractor." The act further requires that all contracts for public works in excess of $50,000 to be performed for a public entity's lessee, agent, designee, or representative on work for non-governmental purposes shall require contractors to furnish a bond. The act specifically provides that these provisions shall not require a contractor who provides construction services for a public works project used for non-governmental purposes and who contracts with a public entity's lessee, agent, designee, or representative on such public works project used for non-governmental purposes to furnish a bond when the public entity's lessee, agent, designee, or representative is required to furnish a bond. This act is similar to HB 490 (2019), HB 791 (2019), and HB 2453 (2018). SCOTT SVAGERA
