It also sent A/E/C professionals around the state into a tizzy because of one section that has, to date, received little to no attention: As of July 1, 2019, Alternate Project Delivery Methods for education procurement are to be scrapped, and all State Board of Education procurements for materials, services and construction will be required to be awarded on a lowest qualified bidder basis.
