Existing law sets forth requirements for the acquisition of goods and services by state agencies and sets forth the various responsibilities of the Department of General Services and other state agencies in overseeing and implementing state contracting procedures and policies.
This bill would require the department, on and after January 1, 2024, to develop criteria to evaluate bidders, at least in part, based on the number of zero-emission vehicles or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in their rental car fleet when seeking to award a contract for commercial rental car services.
This bill would, among other things, state that the installation of electric vehicle supply equipment or supporting electrical and hydrogen fueling infrastructure by state entities to support specified state fleet operations do not constitute gifts of public funds.
