RE: H.B. No. 1768
H.D. 1
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Fifth State Legislature
Regular Session of 2009
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs, to which was referred H.B. No. 1768 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to clarify the dollar amount at which bid security is required for solicitations of construction contracts awarded under the bid or request for proposals processes.
The State Procurement Office supported this bill. Hawaii Surety Association commented.
Your Committee heard testimony that small purchases from $25,000 to $50,000 in value must be placed on the State's electronic procurement system, providing more transparency to the small purchase process.
Your Committee has amended this bill as suggested by the State Procurement Office, to specify that bid security is required for construction contracts that exceed the limit set by section 103D-305, Hawaii Revised Statutes, which currently sets the limit for small purchases at $50,000.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1768, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1768, H.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Finance.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Economic Revitalization, Business, & Military Affairs,
