HB 2520 VDOT; procurement of professional services.

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

VDOT; procurement of professional services. Authorizes VDOT, when procuring professional services for projects contained in the Virginia Transportation Development Plan, to negotiate with all offerors deemed qualified and experienced to arrive at a fair and reasonable price for the contract. The bill requires VDOT to comply with federal law and regulations governing transportation procurement activities. Currently, under the Virginia Public Procurement Act, a public body may only negotiate with one offeror at a time and if no contract can be reached, the public body must terminate negotiations with that offeror and begin negotiations with the next offeror. This bill would carve out an exception to this type of procurement for VDOT.
