RE: H.B. No. 1374
H.D. 1
Honorable Joseph M. Souki
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Seventh State Legislature
Regular Session of 2013
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Development & Business, to which was referred H.B. No. 1374 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this measure is to reduce unnecessary spending by:
(1) Allowing past performance to be factored into the future bid selection of a contractor, including a review of delays, cost overruns, corrective actions, and responses to notices of deficiencies; and
(2) Including in each bid evaluation a review of assessments from past work performed by a potential contractor and allowing a consideration of assessments of prior work in the awarding of contracts.
Your Committee has amended this measure by changing its effective date to January 1, 2020, to facilitate further discussion.
Your Committee notes that the Department of Transportation and the State Procurement Office have expressed concerns regarding the proposed changes to the competitive sealed bids method of procurement and that further discussion on this measure is necessary.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Development & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1374, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1374, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Development & Business,
