WILLIAM DONALD SCHAEFER, Governor                     Ch. 48

"BID" MEANS A RESPONSE TO AN INVITATION FOR BIDS UNDER §
13-103 OF THIS ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as SF §
ll-101(d).

The former reference to a response "by a person" is
deleted as surplusage.

The only other changes are in style.

Defined terms: "Invitation for bids" § 11-101
"Person" § 11-101

(D)  BOARD.

"BOARD" MEANS THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection formerly appeared as SF §
ll-101(e).

No changes are made.

(E)  CONSTRUCTION.

(1)  "CONSTRUCTION" MEANS THE PROCESS OF BUILDING,
ALTERING, IMPROVING, OR DEMOLISHING AN IMPROVEMENT TO REAL
PROPERTY.

(2)  "CONSTRUCTION" INCLUDES ANY MAJOR WORK NECESSARY
TO REPAIR, PREVENT DAMAGE TO, OR SUSTAIN EXISTING COMPONENTS OF
AN IMPROVEMENT TO REAL PROPERTY.

(3)  "CONSTRUCTION" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE MAINTENANCE
OR ROUTINE OPERATION OF AN EXISTING IMPROVEMENT TO REAL PROPERTY.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection is new language derived
without substantive change from former SF § ll-101(i).

In this subsection, the former references to
"structure[s]" and "building[s]" are deleted as
included in the references to "improvement to real
property".

In paragraphs (2) and (3) of this subsection, the term
"construction" is substituted, as the defined term,
for the former word "repairing", for clarity. The
former word "repairing" appeared only once, in former
SF § ll-101(i)(1), now paragraph (1) of this
subsection.
