task order contracts; website; posting
Purpose
Requires a state governmental unit, school district, or city, town or county government that
enters into a task order contract with a contractor in Arizona to conspicuously post the contract on
the state governmental unit's website.
Background
Contracts by state government units must be awarded by competitive sealed bidding.
Invitations for bids must be issued and include a purchase description and all contractual terms
and conditions applicable to the procurement. Adequate notice of the invitation for bids must be
given a reasonable amount of time before the opening date of the bids and may be published in a
newspaper of general circulation or electronically on a designated website (A.R.S. § 41-2533).
Cities, towns, counties and outlined special districts (agents) must publish written notice
of intent to receive, accept and approve bids and contracts for various projects in qualified
newspapers of general circulation within the county in which the agent is located. Statute
prescribes the manner, frequency and time period in which an agent must publish the notice and
allows notices to be provided by electronic means (A.R.S. §§ 11-255; 32-101; and 32-201).
The state maintains an official electronic procurement system authorized by the State
Procurement Officer (eProcurement System). Procurement files for state contracts may be located
in the eProcurement System, the Office of the Director of the Arizona Department of
Administration or at a public procurement unit (A.A.C. R2-7-101).
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this
legislation.
