What’s in it
This bill allows a county or city to require a potential bidder on a public contract to submit a statement that consists of documentation demonstrating the bidder’s ability to fulfill the contract. The statement shall be in writing on a form adopted by the county or city. The county board or municipal authority shall evaluate a submitted statement and determine whether a bidder is qualified. A county or city shall not accept a bid from a person who has not submitted the required statement unless the person had submitted a statement for a bid on a prior contract and the county or city so allows.
