1. Short title This Act may be cited as the VA Design-Build Construction Enhancement Act of 2019 . 2. Findings; sense of Congress regarding the design-build construction method for Department of Veterans Affairs construction projects (a) Findings Congress makes the following findings: (1) The Inspector General of the Department of Veterans Affairs found that, in the Aurora, Colorado, replacement medical center project, the Department decided to change its acquisition strategy from traditional design-bid-build to integrated-design and construct in the fourth year of the project, which was too late for the integrated design-construction firm to provide effective input into the design. (2) In response to deficiencies in the Department’s management of the Aurora, Colorado, replacement medical center project and in order to prevent reoccurrence of such deficiencies in the future, Congress enacted section 8103 of title 38, United States Code, which mandates that an appropriate non-Department Federal entity take over management of future super construction projects of the Department, including project design, acquisition, construction, and contract changes. (3) It has been the policy of the Federal Government since the enactment of the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996 ( Public Law 104–106 ) that design-build shall be used when appropriate circumstances are present. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that— (1) the unsuccessful use of the integrated-design and construct acquisition method in the Aurora, Colorado, replacement medical center project should not be interpreted to mean that design-build, as described in section 3309 of title 41, United States Code, is unsuitable for construction projects of the Department of Veterans Affairs
