AN ACT permitting authorized state entities to utilize the  design-build
  method for infrastructure projects

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. This act shall be known and may be cited  as  the  "Infras-
tructure investment act".
  S 2. The legislature hereby finds and declares as follows:
  (1) Our state's aging infrastructure, the on-going economic crisis and
the resulting increase in unemployment in the state have all contributed
to  a  decline  in  our  state's  competitiveness  and  in a significant
decrease in New York state tax revenues.
  (2) Sufficient modern infrastructure is of  paramount  importance  not
only  as  a  catalyst  for job creation but also as a key driver for the
state's economic performance and competitiveness and the health, safety,
education and quality of life of our citizens and as the means to ensure
the efficient movement of people and goods.
  (3) Expediting the delivery of projects in New York state  would  lead
directly to job creation and increases in the state's competitiveness.
  (4) Businesses in New York state have extensive and diverse experience
in alternative project delivery methods for the study, planning, design,
development,  financing, acquisition, installation, construction, recon-
struction, improvement, maintenance and management of public infrastruc-
ture facilities. These  alternative  project  delivery  methods  provide
significant benefits to the public by:
  (a)  Reducing the public cost of delivering and obtaining services for
infrastructure assets;
  (b) Expediting project delivery;
  (c) Encouraging life cycle efficiencies;
