(b) With the approval of the Attorney General, the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management and the State Properties Review Board, the commissioner may sell or lease or grant any interest in any airport or airport site or any part thereof, hangars, shops or other buildings or other property owned or held under lease by the state, except that after initiating such approval, the commissioner may temporarily lease any such interest. A temporary lease shall be effective only until a final decision is made by the Attorney General, the secretary and the Properties Review Board. Leases of land of the state shall be for periods determined by the commissioner with the approval of the State Properties Review Board and may provide for the construction of buildings on the land. The commissioner may confer the privilege of concessions of supplying, upon the airports, goods, commodities, service and facilities. The commissioner shall grant no exclusive right for the use of any airway, airport, restricted landing area or other air navigation facility under his jurisdiction.

(c) The commissioner may, subject to the provisions of section 4b-23 , purchase or take and, in the name of the state, may acquire title in fee simple to, or any lesser estate, interest or right in, any airport, restricted landing area or other air navigation facility owned or controlled by any municipality or by any two or more municipalities jointly or by any other person, if he finds that the acquisition of such airport, restricted landing area or other air navigation facility is necessary to the maintenance of adequate air transportation in the state or is required by public convenience and safety, except that no such purchase, taking or acquisition may be made by the commissioner of any such airport, restricted landing area or other air navigation facility which is owned or controlled by and used as a part of a research, development or manufacturing activity, unless with the consent of the one owning or controlling such airport, area or facility. In connection with the purchase or taking by the commissioner of any such property owned by any person other than a municipality, the determination by the commissioner and the Commissioner of Administrative Services that the purchase or taking is necessary shall be conclusive. The taking shall be in the manner prescribed in section 48-12 for the taking of land for state institutions. The commissioner may, subject to the approval of the State Properties Review Board, the Connecticut Airport Authority and the Attorney General, transfer any interest or right in any airport, restricted landing area or other air navigation facility acquired pursuant to this section to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

(d) In connection with the purchase or taking by the commissioner of any such property in a municipality, the commissioner shall file with the chief executive officer or first selectman of the municipality a written statement finding that the purchase or taking is necessary, setting forth the reasons supporting such finding and requesting approval by the municipality of the purchase or taking, which approval shall be by vote of the municipality at a referendum held at the next regular election held in the municipality. If the municipality by vote disapproves the purchase or taking, the commissioner may, within thirty days following the vote, appeal to the superior court for the judicial district in which the municipality is located and the appeal shall be accorded a privileged status. The court shall, after hearing, determine whether the commissioner has proven the necessity for the purchase or taking and the burden of proving such necessity shall be upon the commissioner. If the court, after hearing, deems that the commissioner has not sustained such burden of proof, the court shall enter judgment for, and may award reasonable costs to, the municipality. If the court, after hearing, determines that the commissioner has sustained such burden of proof, the court may set aside the action of the municipality disapproving the purchase or taking and may enter an order upon terms and conditions that it deems appropriate to safeguard the rights of the parties and the public. After a purchase or taking has been legally approved, or its disapproval has been set aside by the Superior Court, the state may proceed with the purchase or taking upon paying just compensation to the municipality. In case the state cannot agree with the municipality upon the amount of the compensation, the amount shall be determined in the manner prescribed in section 48-12 . An appeal from the amount so determined shall not act as a stay of the purchase or taking.

(e) The commissioner may, in the name of the state, purchase, take or acquire any interest, in whole or in part, in land, buildings, equipment or facilities that he has sold, leased or granted in any state airport, state airport site or any part thereof pursuant to subsection (b) of this section and, at the request of the Connecticut Airport Authority, in the name of the state, purchase, take or acquire any interest, in whole or in part, in land, buildings, equipment or facilities that the Connecticut Airport Authority has sold, leased or granted in any airport, airport site or any part thereof, pursuant to section 15-120mm . The commissioner's determination that such purchase, taking or acquisition is necessary shall be conclusive. Any taking shall be in a manner prescribed in section 13a-73 for the taking of land for highway purposes. The commissioner may, subject to approval of the State Properties Review Board, the Connecticut Airport Authority and the Attorney General, transfer any interest or right in any airport, restricted landing area or other navigation facility acquired pursuant to this section to the Connecticut Airport Authority.

Any person who fails to comply with any such prohibition or restriction shall be subject to a fine of not more than eighty-eight dollars.

(g) The commissioner may enter into an agreement with any municipality within or near which any airport owned or leased by the state is located, for the purpose of mutual assistance for fire protection.

(h) Any lease which involves the construction, reconstruction, alteration, remodeling, repair or demolition of any public building which is estimated to cost more than five hundred thousand dollars shall be advertised and awarded in accordance with section 13b-20n .

Sec. 13a-255. Establishment of a Connecticut coordinate system.
Status: in_force

(b) Maintenance. Said systems shall be designated as the Connecticut coordinate systems, and said commissioner shall be responsible for their extension, revision and maintenance.

(c) Definitions. The following definition by the National Ocean Service is adopted: The plane coordinate values for a point on the earth's surface, used to express the geographic position or location of such point, shall consist of two distances expressed in U.S. survey feet and decimals of a foot. One of these distances, to be known as the “N-coordinate”, shall give the position in a north and south direction; the other, to be known as the “E-coordinate”, shall give the position in an east and west direction. These coordinates shall be made to depend upon and conform to plane rectangular coordinate values for the monumented points of the North American Horizontal Geodetic Control Network as published by the National Geodetic Survey created by the National Ocean Service, formerly the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, or its successors, and whose plane coordinates have been computed on the systems defined in this section.

(1) “The Connecticut Coordinate System of 1927” is defined as follows: A Lambert conformal conic projection of the Clarke spheroid of 1866, having standard parallels at north latitudes 41 degrees 52 minutes and 41 degrees 12 minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 72 degrees 45 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 40 degrees 50 minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: X=600,000 and Y=0 feet.

(2) “The Connecticut Coordinate System of 1983” is defined as follows: A Lambert conformal conic projection of the North American datum of 1983, having standard parallels at north latitudes 41 degrees 52 minutes and 41 degrees 12 minutes along which parallels the scale shall be exact. The origin of coordinates is at the intersection of the meridian 72 degrees 45 minutes west of Greenwich and the parallel 40 degrees 50 minutes north latitude. This origin is given the coordinates: N=500,000 feet and E=1,000,000 feet.

(d) Use of names. The use of the term “Connecticut Coordinate System of 1927” or “the Connecticut Coordinate System of 1983” on any map, report of survey or other document shall be limited to coordinates based on the Connecticut coordinate systems, as defined in subsection (c).

(e) Description. For the purposes of describing the location of any survey station or land boundary corner in the state of Connecticut, it shall be considered a complete, legal and satisfactory description of such location to give the position of said survey station or land boundary corner on the system of plane coordinates, as defined in this section.

(f) Interpretation. Nothing contained in this section shall require descriptions of real estate to be based only on either of the Connecticut coordinate systems.

(g) Entry upon private property. Said commissioner or his agent or agents may enter upon private property for the purpose of surveying, establishing or maintaining the survey. He shall use care so that no unnecessary damage shall result to any private property and the state shall be liable to the owner of such property for any damage so caused.

(h) Final date for use of 1927 system. The Connecticut Coordinating System of 1927 shall not be used for new mapping after December 31, 1996; the Connecticut Coordinate System of 1983 shall be the sole system for new mapping after said date.

Sec. 13a-95b. Designation of projects using construction-manager-at-risk or design-build contracts.
Status: in_force

(b) If the commissioner designates a project to use a construction-manager-at-risk contract with a guaranteed maximum price, the commissioner may have the project designed by department personnel or enter into a contract with an architect or engineer for the project design, and may also enter into a contract with a construction-manager-at-risk contractor who will provide input during the design process and may be responsible for the construction of the project. The commissioner may permit the contractor to self-perform a portion of the construction work if the commissioner determines that the construction manager general contractor can perform the work more cost-effectively than a subcontractor. All work not performed by the construction manager general contractor shall be performed by trade subcontractors selected by a process approved by the commissioner. The construction-manager-at-risk contract shall have an established guaranteed maximum price. In the event that a guaranteed maximum price cannot be agreed upon, the commissioner may elect to call for bids on the project as provided for pursuant to section 13a-95 . The commissioner may select the architect, engineer or contractor from among the contractors selected and recommended by a selection panel. Any such contract for such project shall be based upon competitive proposals received by the commissioner, who shall give notice of the project, by advertising on the Department of Administrative Services State Contracting Portal, or use other advertising methods likely to reach qualified construction manager general contractors. Award of any such contract shall be based upon the general conditions and staff costs plus qualitative criteria. The commissioner shall establish all criteria, requirements and conditions of such proposals and award and shall have sole responsibility for all other aspects of the project. Any contract shall clearly state the responsibilities of the contractor to deliver a completed and acceptable project on a date certain, the maximum cost of the project, and, if applicable, as a separate item, the cost of property acquisition.

(c) If the commissioner designates a project to use a design-build contract, the commissioner may enter into a single contract with the design-builder, who the commissioner may select from among the design-builders selected and recommended by a selection panel. The contract shall (1) include, but not be limited to, such project elements as site acquisition, permitting, engineering design and construction, and (2) be based on competitive proposals received by the commissioner, who shall give notice of the project and specifications for the project, by advertising on the Department of Administrative Services State Contracting Portal, and may use other advertising methods likely to reach qualified design-build contractors. Award of the design-build contract shall be based on a predetermined metric provided to proposers in advance of technical proposal development. This metric may be unique to each project, but shall consist of a combined score of qualifications and past performance of the proposer, technical merit of the proposal and cost. The commissioner shall establish a selection panel for each project to score the qualifications and past performance and technical portion of the proposal using the predefined scoring metric. The sealed cost portion of the proposal shall be opened in a public ceremony only after the qualifications and past performance and technical portions of the proposals have been scored. The commissioner shall determine all criteria, requirements and conditions for such proposals and award and shall have sole responsibility for all other aspects of the contract. Such contract shall state clearly the responsibilities of the design-builder to deliver a completed and acceptable project on a date certain, the maximum cost of the project, and, if applicable, as a separate item, the cost of property acquisition.

Status: in_force

(b) (1) After the first two projects performed with contracts authorized pursuant to section 13a-95b , the Commissioner of Transportation shall perform all development and inspection work, as described in subsection (a) of this section, using department employees. The commissioner may utilize consultants to perform the design of the project, if the commissioner determines, after conducting an assessment of project delivery schedule, staffing capacity and the technical expertise required, that the department lacks the capacity and technical expertise required to perform the design of a project designated to be constructed by a construction-manager-at-risk. For projects designated to be constructed using the design-build contracting method, the responsibility to perform detailed design work shall remain with the contractor. The Commissioner of Administrative Services shall place the positions required for this work on continuous recruitment pursuant to the provisions of section 5-216 . In addition, employees may be appointed to durational positions to reduce the need for inspection or development work to be performed by consultants. Such employees may be appointed as engineers if they have met the education, knowledge and training requirements required by the Department of Administrative Services job classification to durational positions without examination to reduce the need for inspection or development work to be performed by consultants. Any contract entered into with a consultant for the initial project bid in accordance with section 13a-95b shall contain a provision that provides for training the employees of the Department of Transportation in the process for bidding and managing projects entered into in accordance with section 13a-95b .

(2) Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivision (1) of this subsection, the Commissioner of Transportation may authorize the continued use of consultants if necessary to complete contracts authorized pursuant to section 13a-95b . The commissioner shall make all reasonable efforts to perform development and inspection work as described in subsection (a) of this section using, where such employees are available, department employees and reducing, and where possible eliminating, the dependency on outside consultants. The commissioner shall establish a program to train department employees to support alternative project delivery methods. Such training program may be provided in projects utilizing consultants, as provided for in this section. The commissioner shall report, on or before October first annually, to the Governor of the progress made in training employees in alternative project delivery methods, improving the diversity of technical expertise of employees and building internal project delivery capacity.
