Lawmakers cite I-69 delays in effort to change how state contractors are selected

State lawmakers are using the I-69 construction project mess to push their efforts to require more information when the state hires contractors for large projects.  The bill, co-authored by Rep. Ed Delaney and Rep. Tim Brown would require the Indiana Finance Authority to only consider potential contractors who have "experience and quality performance in comparable projects in North America" in the previous two years.  The original completion date for section five of the I-69 project, between Martinsville and Bloomington, was October 2016.
