What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, highway improvement projects undertaken by the

Department of Transportation, with limited exceptions, must be executed by

contract based on bids. Under this bill, with an exception, if only one bid from a

competent bidder is received for a contract and the bid is in excess of 110 percent of

the estimated reasonable value of the work, DOT must reject the bid and readvertise

the contract for bids in a manner likely to increase the number of bidders.
