RE: H.B. No. 1669

H.D. 1

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 1669, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO CONCESSIONS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to authorize the State to award concession contracts under the request for proposals process based upon the best value standard, to allow consideration of each offeror's potential benefit to the general public.

Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the State Procurement Office.

Your Committee finds that authorizing the award of state concession contracts based upon best value will allow agencies to consider a variety of factors and potential benefits in evaluating contract bids.

Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive amendments for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1669, H.D. 1, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1669, H.D. 1, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
