(a) After selecting a design-build entity based upon qualifications, the local agency may enter into a contract and direct the design-build entity to begin design and preconstruction activities sufficient to establish a guaranteed maximum price for the project.

(b) (1) Upon agreement of the guaranteed maximum price for the project, the local agency, at its sole and absolute discretion, may amend its contract with the design-build entity to contract for the remaining design, preconstruction, and construction activities sufficient to complete and close out the project, consistent with the guaranteed maximum price. In the event that there are unforeseen site conditions, the local agency may amend its contract with the design-build entity accordingly and consistent with the guaranteed maximum price, to enable the entity to complete the remaining design, preconstruction, and construction activities sufficient to complete and close out the project.

(2) If the cost for completing all remaining design, preconstruction, and construction activities sufficient to complete and close out the project exceeds the guaranteed maximum price, the costs exceeding the guaranteed maximum price shall be the responsibility of the design-build entity.

(c) (1) If the local agency and the design-build entity do not reach agreement on a guaranteed maximum price, or the local agency otherwise elects not to amend the design-build entity’s contract to complete the remaining work, the local agency may solicit proposals to complete the project from firms that submitted statements of qualifications pursuant to Section 22185.3. The local agency may also, upon written determination that it is in the best interest of the city, county, city and county, or special district, as applicable, to do so, formally solicit proposals from other design-build entities, and contract award shall be made on a best value basis.

(2) The design professionals responsible for performing design services on behalf of a design-build entity that has been replaced pursuant to paragraph (1) shall have sole liability for their design errors and omissions, provided the local agency elects to use their complete and stamped designs with subsequent design-build entities or licensed contractors.
