South Dakota's Department of Transportation will no longer have to follow the state's standard competitive bidding rules when awarding highway construction contracts. This change exempts DOT highway projects from chapters 5-18A through 5-18D of state procurement law, giving the department more flexibility in how it selects contractors and awards contracts.
