(A) A public authority may accept a subcontract awarded by a construction manager at risk, a design-build firm, or a general contracting firm, or may reject any such subcontract if the public authority determines that the bidder is not responsible. When utilizing an industry standard published construction management contract form, the public authority shall provide the contract form in a manner that indicates any alteration to the standard form by striking through and underlining any changes to the original language of the standard form, by cross-referencing conditions that are supplemental to the standard form, or by including conditions that are supplemental to the standard form that cross-reference the section or sections of the standard form being altered. Failure to indicate an alteration to the original language of the standard form in the manner required above results in the alteration being void and without effect such that the original language prevails.

(B) A public authority may authorize a construction manager at risk or design-build firm to utilize a design-assist firm on any public improvement project without transferring any design liability to the design-assist firm.

(C) If the construction manager at risk or design-build firm intends and is permitted by the public authority to self-perform a portion of the work to be performed, the construction manager at risk or design-build firm shall submit a sealed bid to the public authority for the portion of the work prior to accepting and opening any bids for the same work, except when the public authority requests a guaranteed maximum price proposal due at the time of selection.
