Bill > S1118

This bill amends existing Idaho procurement laws to revise monetary thresholds for public works construction and services procurement by political subdivisions. Specifically, the bill increases the threshold for procurement procedures from $50,000 to $100,000 for public works construction, and from $75,000 to $100,000 for services or personal property. The bill also raises the upper limit for these procurement procedures from $200,000 to $250,000. These changes modify the bidding and procurement processes for political subdivisions, including requirements for soliciting bids, publishing notices, and selecting contractors. The new thresholds will give political subdivisions more flexibility in procuring construction services and personal property by allowing them to use simplified procurement procedures for a wider range of project values. The bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, and is declared an emergency measure to address current procurement challenges faced by political subdivisions.
