Mr. Baddour moved that the bill be amended by inserting, after Section XX, the following new Section:-
“SECTION ____A. Section 1. Chapter thirty of the general laws is amended by striking section thirty-nine Q and substituting for it the following four sections:
Section 39Q. A mandatory alternative dispute resolution program is hereby established for contractually based claims in connection with the construction of public works and capital facilities for the commonwealth, and all its agencies, authorities and political subdivisions, excluding cities and towns. Each public agency, political subdivision and authority is authorized to propose and adopt its own alternative dispute resolution procedure, provided that such procedure contains the minimum standards set forth in section thirty-nine R of this Chapter. If a public entity fails to adopt its own alternative dispute resolution procedure within sixty days of the effective date of this act, the provisions of section thirty-nine S of this Chapter shall apply to such public entity. A public entity which has adopted an alternative dispute resolution procedure containing the standards set forth in Section 39R shall include its provisions in any public works or capital facilities construction related contract in lieu of the contractual terms set forth in section thirty-nine S of this Chapter. Otherwise the terms set forth in section thirty-nine S of this Chapter shall be inserted in every contract for the construction, alteration, remodeling, repair or demolition of any capital facility or public work. Where the terms set forth in section thirty-nine S of this Chapter were required to be included but are in fact omitted from a contract, those terms shall be deemed to be part of the contract.
Section 39R. Each alternative dispute resolution procedure adopted pursuant to this Chapter must contain provisions which at a minimum:
1. Require the opposing party to articulate its position in writing within thirty days after the dispute is submitted in writing to it by the party initiating the process;
2. Produce a decision to be issued within two hundred ten days after the dispute is submitted in writing by the party initiating the process, unless the parties mutually agree to extend that period and provide that failure to issue a decision within said period of two hundred ten days or longer by agreement of the parties shall be deemed to be a negative decision triggering the appellate rights set forth in subparagraph (6) below;
3. Permit each party to inspect all documents supporting the opposing party’s position, including, without limitation, statements of both percipient and expert witnesses which have been reduced to writing or orally recorded, without making those documents public records within the meaning of chapter sixty six of the general laws; provided further, attorney-client privilege and the attorney work-product doctrine shall apply to such documents;
4. Provide for non-binding alternate dispute resolution before a neutral fact finder, or a fact finding panel which may include an equal number of representatives of the parties to the dispute and must include at least one disinterested person, with the costs split by the public entity and contractor;
5. Require the fact finder to prepare a written record of proceedings sufficient for purposes of judicial review;
6. Except in the case of contracts subject to section five of chapter sixteen of the general laws, permit either party to appeal from the non-binding decision set forth in the preceding clause and authorize the contractor to elect between (a) binding arbitration to be conducted in accordance with section thirty-nine S, subparagraph d of this chapter or the rules of the American Arbitration Association or (b) judicial review. In the case of contracts subject to section five of chapter sixteen, either party shall be permitted to appeal to the hearing examiner described in said section five.
The findings of fact and decision of the neutral fact finder, fact finding panel or the said hearing examiner shall be admissible in any subsequent administrative or judicial proceeding.
Section 39S. Except as otherwise provided in Section thirty-nine Q and R of this Chapter, and notwithstanding any previously enacted general or special law to the contrary, every public construction contract awarded by the Commonwealth, or a “State Agency” as defined by section thirty-nine A of Chapter seven, “Authority,” as defined by section thirty-nine of chapter three, or political subdivision of the Commonwealth, excluding cities and towns, hereinafter collectively referred to as a “public entity” shall contain subparagraphs (a) through (e) in their entirety:
a) Initial Notice. Disputes regarding changes in and interpretations of the terms or scope of the contract and denials of or failures to act upon claims for payment for extra work or materials shall be resolved according to either the administrative, judicial or arbitration procedures in this and the following subparagraphs, which shall constitute the exclusive methods for resolving such disputes. Written notice of the matter in dispute shall be submitted by the claimant to the chief executive official of the public entity which awarded the contract or his designee within a period which commences with the execution of the contract or the authorized commencement of work on the contract project and ends when the claim would otherwise be foreclosed by the passage of time and operation of applicable law. Acceptance of an amount offered as final payment shall not preclude any person, firm or corporation from bringing a claim under this section unless the claim has been expressly released prior to or upon final payment. All legal defenses except governmental immunity shall be reserved to the public entity. Interest on any award shall begin to accrue to a claimant under this paragraph sixty days after the claimant submits a notice or demand to the public entity for the unpaid debt upon which such interest is to be based. No person or business entity having a contract with a public entity shall delay, suspend, or curtail performance under that contract as a result of any dispute subject to this paragraph. Any disputed order, decision or action by the public entity or its authorized representative shall be fully performed or complied with pending resolution of the dispute. No consolidation of arbitration proceedings shall take place where the public entity is not a party to both arbitration proceedings before the consolidation.
b) Initial Determination By Agency. Within sixty days of submission pursuant to subparagraph (a) above of the initial notice of the matter in dispute to the chief executive official of the public entity or his designee, the chief executive official shall issue a written decision stating the reasons therefor, and shall notify the parties of their options for appeal. If the chief executive official or his designee is unable to issue a decision within sixty days, he shall notify the parties to the dispute in writing of the reasons why a decision cannot be issued within sixty days and of the date by which a decision shall issue. Failure to issue a decision within the sixty day period or within an additional time period specified in such written notice, if any, and agreed upon by the contractor/claimant shall be deemed to constitute a denial of the claim and shall authorize resort to the appeal procedure described below. The decision of the chief executive official or his designee shall be final and conclusive unless an appeal is taken as provided below.
c) Election of Remedies. Within twenty-one calendar days of the receipt of a written decision or of the date a denial is deemed to have occurred by virtue of a failure to issue a decision as stated in the preceding paragraph (b), any aggrieved party may file a demand for arbitration under subparagraph (d) and shall thereafter serve copies thereof upon all other parties in the form and manner prescribed by the rules governing the conduct of adjudicatory proceedings of the division of hearing officers. The aggrieved party may instead file an action directly in a court of competent jurisdiction or, in a case of contracts subject to section five of chapter sixteen, follow the procedures set forth in said section of chapter sixteen of the general laws, electing to forego the alternative dispute resolution rights conferred herein. In the event an aggrieved party exercises his option to file an action directly in court as provided in the previous sentence, the twenty-one day period shall not apply to such filing and the period for filing such action shall be the same period otherwise applicable for filing such a civil action in court.
d) Facts Final, Binding Arbitration. A demand for arbitration shall include the amount of damages sought and the alleged facts and contractual or statutory provisions which form the basis of the claim. Arbitration of such claim or claims shall be conducted under (1) the rules of any dispute resolution entity, approved by such person, firm or corporation and the chief executive official of the public entity or his designee and (2) the provisions of this paragraph, except that if the parties cannot agree upon a dispute resolution entity, the rules of the American Arbitration Association and this paragraph shall apply. If a demand for arbitration is made to the chief executive official of the public entity or his designee, each party shall allow the other to examine and copy any nonprivileged documents which may be relevant either to the claimant’s claims or to the public entity’s defenses to such claims. The attorney-client privilege and the attorney work-product doctrine shall apply to the public entity’s documentation. All issues not addressed by this paragraph or by agreement, or by the rules of the mutually designated dispute resolution entity or the American Arbitration Association, whichever shall apply, shall be governed by chapter two-hundred and fifty-one of the general laws. Any documents obtained by the agency through such discovery shall not be subject to compelled disclosure under chapter sixty-six of the general laws and shall not be disclosed by the public entity to any person or entity that is not a party to or an agent of a party to the arbitration. Such documents shall be used only for settlement or litigation of the parties’ claims. The arbitrators shall determine any claim of privilege or issue as to the relevance of such documents after an in camera inspection. The arbitrators shall seal such documents during arbitration and the arbitrators as well as any other party obtaining a copy during discovery shall return such documents to the appropriate party claimant after final disposition of the claim.
Hearings shall be scheduled for arbitration in a manner that shall ensure that each party shall have reasonable time and opportunity to prepare and present its case, taking into consideration the size and complexity of the claims presented. Unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, no evidentiary hearing on the merits of the claim may begin less than thirty (30) nor more than one hundred-twenty (120) days after the demand for arbitration is filed with the dispute resolution entity.
The arbitrators shall conduct the hearing and shall hear evidence as to the facts and arguments as to the interpretation and application of contractual provisions. After the hearing, the arbitrators shall issue in writing: (1) findings of fact, (2) a decision in which the arbitrators interpret the contract and law and apply it to the facts found and (3) an award. The arbitrators’ findings of fact shall be final and conclusive, and their decision and award shall be final and binding, subject, in both cases, to vacation, rehearing or confirmation pursuant to the procedures set forth in section twelve of chapter two-hundred and fifty-one and under the standards set forth in section fourteen of chapter thirty a of the general laws. Interest on any award shall begin to accrue sixty days after an initial notice is filed under subparagraph (a) above.
Section 39T. The Commissioner of Administration shall prepare annually a report concerning the construction contract claims submitted to public entities during the preceding twelve months, in such form as the commissioner shall prescribe. The report shall contain, at a minimum, the following information: the number of claims submitted; the names of all parties to each such claim; a brief description of each claim; the date of submission and of disposition of each claim; its disposition, whether by settlement, withdrawal, default, written agency decision, non-binding arbitration pursuant to an agency plan approved pursuant to section thirty-nine R of this chapter, or binding arbitration pursuant to section thirty-nine S thereof; and the number of claims currently pending. The original of the report shall be submitted by the Commissioner of Administration to the Clerks of the House and Senate by January fifteenth and a copy shall be filed with the state librarian and shall be a public document. The fourth annual report so filed and each report thereafter shall set forth recommendations concerning the implementation of the alternative dispute resolution program established by section thirty-nine Q of this chapter, including a recommendation whether to eliminate the option available to each public entity to adopt its own such program under section thirty-nine R thereof.
Section 2. Said Chapter thirty is hereby further amended by redesignating “section thirty-nine R” appearing in the 1994 official edition, as “section thirty-nine U.”
Section 3. Said Chapter thirty is hereby further amended by adding after section thirty-nine U the following new section:
Section 39V. The alternate dispute resolution procedures in sections 39Q, R and S shall apply only to claims by persons, firms or corporations that have direct contracts with a public entity as defined in the preceding sections.
