Bill > SB1175

This bill enhances the state procurement office's existing past performance database by requiring the inclusion of a comprehensive contractor performance assessment. The new assessment, to be determined by the state procurement office, will cover six key areas for state contractors: quality of work, schedule and timeliness of performance, cost and financial management, management and personnel, safety and security, and general comments. The bill mandates that the state procurement office implement procedures to inform contractors about their database entries and provide opportunities for contractors to correct or respond to the information. The bill also appropriates funding from general state revenues to establish and maintain the expanded database, with allocations for initial development and ongoing annual maintenance in fiscal years 2025-2026 and 2026-2027. The legislation aims to create a more transparent and detailed system for tracking and evaluating state contractors' performance, which could help improve future procurement decisions and contractor accountability. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2491, though this date appears to be a typographical error and likely means January 1, 2024.
