The department of transportation is authorized and strongly encouraged to use the design-build procedure for public works projects over two million dollars when:
(1) The department of transportation is authorized to use the design-build procedure, progressive design-build procedure, and any general contractor/construction manager procedure for public works projects.
(1) The construction activities are highly specialized and a design-build approach is critical in developing the construction methodology; or
(2) The projects selected provide opportunity for greater innovation and efficiencies between the designer and the builder; or
(3) Significant savings in project delivery time would be realized.
(2) For the first three general contractor/construction manager projects that the department delivers, the department shall pursue approval in accordance with RCW 39.10.280. After three such approvals have been granted, the department is not subject to the approval requirements of RCW 39.10.280.
