What’s in it
This bill relates to competitive bidding requirements for construction on properties that certain government entities will lease or lease-purchase. Code chapter (public construction bidding) imposes public bidding requirements on certain public improvements that are estimated to cost above a threshold amount.2.341. By operation of law, such contracts that exceed the threshold amount must comply with the requirements of Code chapter 26.3. In addition, current law states that the construction, renovation, or repairs by a private party of property to be lease-purchased by the board of regents is subject to competitive bidding requirements when the cost of the construction, renovation, or repairs exceeds $100,000.
Read the full explanation
Under the bill, a contract for construction by a private party of property to be lease-purchased by the state of Iowa, a community college, or a public school corporation is not considered a contract for a public improvement for purposes of Code chapter 26. The bill also removes the construction, renovation, or repairs by a private party of property to be lease-purchased by the state board of regents from competitive bidding requirements.341, subsection 1, unless a lease-purchase contract is funded in advance by means of the lessor depositing moneys to be administered by the county, with the county’s obligation to make rent payments commencing with its receipt of moneys.12. However, a lease-purchase contract funded in advance by means of the lessor depositing moneys to be administered by the city, with the city’s obligation to make rent payments commencing with its receipt of moneys, is subject to Code chapter 26. The bill is effective upon enactment and applies to lease-purchase contracts entered into on or after the effective date of the bill.
