(d) Projects receiving funding above the amount of federal core funding as appropriated to the state by formula in a federal highway authorization may utilize the program, but shall not be included in calculating contractual obligation limits provided by subsection (b) of this section.
(e) The contractual obligations made for projects that are necessitated by a declared state of emergency within a county that the Governor has included in a declaration of emergency shall not be included in calculating contractual obligation limits provided in §17-2D-2(b) of this code.
§17-2D-5. Report to the Legislature.
On or before January 15, 2014, and annually thereafter, the commissioner shall prepare and submit to the Joint Committee on Government and Finance a written report evaluating the experience of the Division of Highways with each project completed using an alternative project delivery method authorized by this article during the prior calendar year, including whether the division realized any cost or time savings, the number and cost of change orders, the quality of work performed, the number of bids received, and other issues the commissioner considers appropriate.
