Panel hears bill to raise WSDOT in‑house repair and procurement thresholds A committee heard testimony on Substitute Senate Bill 6170, which would raise WSDOT in‑house repair thresholds from $60,000 to $100,000, raise emergency thresholds to $160,000, and index those limits to the National Highway Construction Cost Index; proponents said the change updates 2005 limits and improves efficiency.

Washington's WSDOT could soon boost its in-house repair thresholds significantly, a move that aims to enhance efficiency and address community needs faster after years of stagnation.
