HB 2584 Public Procurement Act; legal actions.
Introduced by: John J. Davies III | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Public Procurement Act; legal actions. Allows a contractor on his own behalf, or on behalf of any person who qualifies as a claimant under the Public Procurement Act, to bring an action involving a contract dispute with a public body in the appropriate circuit court. Currently, only the contractor may bring such an action. As a result, general contractors on public construction projects would be allowed to “pass through” claims by one of its suppliers or subcontractors, or the subcontractor’s supplier, to the public body. This is similar to the protections now provided to subcontractors and suppliers on VDOT highway projects.
