AI Summary

This bill exempts construction and development activity related to the redevelopment of the federally-funded affordable housing project known as Eva White by the Boston Housing Authority from certain public procurement laws. However, it requires that contracts for any publicly owned public works servicing the project be subject to the competitive bidding requirements of Section 39M of Chapter 30 of the General Laws if the redevelopment is funded in part by state or federal government low-income housing tax credits, grants, or loans, or through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds. The bill also specifies that any conveyance of the project to an entity not owned, controlled, or managed by the Boston Housing Authority would be subject to the procurement requirements of Chapter 30B of the General Laws.
