RE: S.B. No. 3350

S.D. 2

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Thirty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2022

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committees on Ways and Means and Judiciary, to which was referred S.B. No. 3350, S.D. 1, entitled:

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"

beg leave to report as follows:

The purpose and intent of this measure is to require any procurement change order that increases a contract cost by more than fifty percent of the original contract cost or substantially changes the scope of work to be considered a new contract for procurement purposes.

Your Committees received written comments in support of this measure from the Department of Transportation.

Your Committees find that this measure will help contracting agencies to more effectively manage contracting and address and mitigate, with appropriate and time‑critical action, any unusual circumstances that may arise during the course of a project.

Your Committees have amended this measure by making technical nonsubstantive changes for purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Ways and Means and Judiciary that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 3350, S.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 3350, S.D. 2.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Ways and Means and Judiciary,

________________________________ KARL RHOADS, Chair
