AI Summary

This bill aims to increase competition and reduce costs for constructing water treatment plants. It proposes to amend the existing law by requiring the Commissioner of the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance to promulgate regulations and procedures for prequalifying contractors for work on water treatment plants, specifically mandating that a general contractor have experience constructing, modifying, or repairing a water treatment plant within the past ten years. The goal is to responsibly maximize the number of qualified contractors for this type of work, thereby fostering greater competition and potentially reducing construction costs for water treatment plants.
