Bill Summary
Relative to the availability of private utility construction contracts. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency in private utility construction contracts. It requires gas and electric distribution companies to inform bidders within two business days if they have been awarded a contract worth $100,000 or more for services related to the excavation or construction upon, along, or across any public way. The companies must also post the name of the contractor, the location of the project, and the duration of the work on their website. The bill allows companies to withhold information in certain circumstances, such as if disclosure would impede law enforcement or prejudice the commercial interests of the bidders. The Department of Public Utilities is responsible for enforcing this law and may issue regulations and orders to ensure appropriate procurement practices.
