From the meeting
At its September 8, 2026 enactment, Delaware amended procurement law so the Department of Transportation can use open-end contracts for highway construction and reconstruction. The contracts can run up to 5 years and may cover up to 25% of the department's authorized capital improvement budget for the year. This creates a defined future buying channel for road contractors and construction managers tied to the state's capital program.
