AI Summary
This bill requires the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) to develop and maintain an online contractor performance assessment system for public improvement projects in Iowa. The system will create a performance grading platform for architects, engineers, and contractors, which will evaluate their work based on specific metrics such as project timeliness, cost performance (comparing actual expenses to budgeted amounts), and change order history. Governmental entities will be able to access this internet site and use the performance information to help determine whether a bidder is considered "responsible" when awarding contracts. Specifically, the bill adds a new section to existing state code that allows government agencies to consult this performance assessment system when making procurement decisions, providing a standardized method for evaluating contractors' past work quality and reliability. This system aims to increase transparency and help government entities make more informed choices when selecting contractors for public improvement projects.
