SB 383 Public Procurement Act; exemptions.
Introduced by: John C. Watkins | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Virginia Public Procurement Act; exemptions. Provides an exemption from competitive sealed bidding or competitive negotiation for the purchase of electric utility services if purchased by a public body through an association of which it is a member, if the association was formed and is maintained for the purpose of promoting the interest and welfare of and developing close relationships with similar public bodies, provided such association has procured the electric utility service by use of competitive principles and provided that the public body has made a determination in advance after reasonable notice to the public and set forth in writing that competitive sealed bidding and competitive negotiation are not fiscally advantageous to the public. Currently, this exemption is available for the purchase of insurance. The bill also allows state agencies, in procuring information technology-related goods and services, other than professional services or construction, to award the contract to contractors located in high unemployment localities, under certain conditions. The bill defines "information technology-related goods and services." The bill contains a sunset for this type of procurement of July 1, 2002. The bill requires the Department of General Services to report on the impact of this provision by November 1, 2002.
