Bill Summary

Virginia Public Procurement Act; joint and cooperative procurement; construction exception. Excludes certain intergovernmental support agreements pursuant to federal law from provisions of law under the Virginia Public Procurement Act that provide an exception for construction where a public body may purchase from another public body's contract if the request for proposal or invitation to bid specified that the procurement was a cooperative procurement being conducted on behalf of other public bodies.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Virginia Public Procurement Act to remove an exception that allowed public bodies to purchase construction services from another public body's contract, even if they didn't participate in the original bidding process, as long as the original bidding documents indicated it was a cooperative procurement for multiple public bodies. Essentially, this means that for construction projects, public bodies will no longer be able to automatically use another public body's pre-existing contract under these specific cooperative procurement circumstances, though exceptions for certain specific types of construction like artificial turf installation and stream restoration remain.
