Explanation
The bill authorizes public contracting agencies to allow bidders up
to two business days after a bid opening to submit their
prequalification certificate and an update bid statement. Current law
disqualifies a bid if the update bid statement or applicable
prequalification certificate is missing.
This bill may result in a savings to the state as it should increase the
number of bids the state receives.
The Out Years
The annualized ongoing fiscal impact identified above would
continue into the future subject to inflation.
