What’s in it

AI summary The state will create a website where government agencies can check how well contractors, architects, and engineers have done on past public projects. This new system will use a grading scale to track their performance. Government offices can then use these grades to help decide which companies are reliable enough to win new jobs.1

Read the official explanation

This bill requires the department of administrative services (DAS) to create and maintain a contractor performance assessment system on an internet site that is accessible to governmental entities for the purpose of assessing contractor performance on public improvements. DAS must develop a performance grading system for architects, engineers, and contractors based on performance metrics for use on the internet site. The bill provides that a governmental entity may use the contractor performance assessment system to determine if a bidder is responsible.
