Bill Summary
Relative to transparency in private utility construction contracts. Telecommunications, Utilities and Energy.
AI Summary
This bill aims to increase transparency in private utility construction contracts by requiring utility companies in Massachusetts to publicly disclose certain information about contracts worth $100,000 or more. The key provisions include: 1) Utility companies must inform bidders of the decision and contract award within 2 business days, and post the winning bid details (contractor, amount, location) on their website. 2) Utility companies must provide bidders with the award criteria and their score. 3) Exceptions are allowed if the disclosure would impede law enforcement, be contrary to the public interest, prejudice the commercial interests of bidders, or interfere with competition. 4) The Department of Public Utilities is responsible for enforcing this law and can issue regulations and orders related to utility procurement practices.
