SB 3230: DAGS; PROCUREMENT; PROJECT MANAGEMENT SERVICES; BUDGET TRANSFERS; CERTIFICATION; FISCAL OFFICERS; PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION; SPECIAL PROJECT BRANCH; POSITIONS; APPROPRIATION

Authorizes governmental bodies and public employees to procure project management services through non-governmental third-party contracts under certain conditions.  Clarifies the inherently governmental and nondelegable responsibility of state agencies, which must retain ultimate authority, accountability, and decision-making over contract performance.  Requires every budget transfer to receive prior written certification from an appropriate fiscal officer as to the effect the budget transfer will have on the total project budget or the total contract budget.  Appropriates funds to establish a Special Project Branch within the Public Works Division of the Department of Accounting and General Services, including funds for three full-time equivalent (3.0 FTE) permanent positions, to provide specialized expertise and staff resources that support the Division's implementation of certain complex, high-profile capital improvement program projects using innovative, non‑traditional delivery methods.  Effective 7/1/2525.  (SD1)
