. When it is in the best interest of the transit operator,
the transit operator may enter into a design-build contract for both
the design and construction of a project under this article. After
evaluation of the traditional design, bid, and build process of
transit construction and of the design-build process in a public
meeting, the transit operator shall make written findings that use of
the design-build process on the specific project under consideration
will accomplish one of the following objectives: reduce project
costs, expedite the project's completion, provide design features not
achievable through the design-bid-build method, prior to entering
into a design-build contract. In the design-build project proposal,
the written findings shall be included as part of any application for
state funds pursuant to this chapter.
