Staff Analysis of the Legislation
|
This legislation allows the Department of Transportation (DOT) to use an alternative system for hiring professional services for a project. Using the alternative system, DOT could select three or more qualified professionals to submit proposals for a project. DOT is authorized to enter into a contract with the lowest priced proposal or negotiate a lower contract price. If DOT is unable to enter into a contract, then it may go to the next lowest priced proposal. |
