Author: Senator Julieanne E. Ortman
Prepared by: Kathleen Pontius, Senate Counsel (651/296-4394)
Date: April 5, 2005

Section 1 provides that specified data of the Department of Transportation, when it is undertaking a design-build transportation project, are protected nonpublic or confidential data. The statement of qualification or evaluation criteria and scoring methodology, statement of qualification evaluations, technical proposal evaluation criteria and scoring methodology, and technical proposal evaluations would become public when the project is awarded.

Section 2 classifies data maintained by the Commissioner of Transportation or staff during the provision of mediation services to employees as protected nonpublic or confidential data.

Section 3 specifies that certain data of the Department of Transportation, in cases where a design-build best value method of project delivery is appropriate, are protected nonpublic or confidential data until published as part of a request for the proposal process. The Commissioner may release design-build data to counties, cities, and other parties as necessary to facilitate project development. Released data retain their classification until the Department publishes the information as part of a request for proposal process.

Section 4 provides that certain account information relating to applicants or users of toll facilities in high-occupancy vehicle lanes for which a user fee is charged are nonpublic data or private data.
