Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say

Speaker, House of Representatives

Regular Session of 2012

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business, to which was referred S.B. No. 2030, S.D. 2, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow the chief procurement officer or the head of a purchasing agency to allow the scope of work in a bid for a listed subcontractor to be expanded within five working days of bid opening, with certain conditions, and to permit the reinstatement of certain subcontractors' licenses before an award is granted.

 

     The Department of Budget and Fiscal Services of the City and County of Honolulu; General Contractors Association; Ralph. S. Inouye Co., Ltd.; Building Industry Association of Hawaii; LYZ, Inc.; Hawaii LECET; Pacific Resource Partnership; Royal Contracting Co., Ltd.; Healy Tibbitts Builders, Inc.; Electrical Contractors Association of Hawaii; and Genba Hawaii, Inc. testified in support of this measure.  Subcontractors Association of Hawaii testified in support of this measure with amendments.  Sheet Metal Contractors Association testified in opposition to this measure.  The State Procurement Office and Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Association of Hawaii provided comments on this measure.

     Your Committee has amended this measure by:

 

     (1)  Adding a definition for "ministerial act" to the Hawaii Public Procurement Code;

 

     (2)  Clarifying that a procuring officer may cure bid-listing discrepancies under limited circumstances to avoid having to reject a low bid for certain unintentional matters;

 

     (3)  Changing the effective date to July 1, 2112, to facilitate further discussion; and

 

     (4)  Making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for the purposes of clarity, consistency, and style.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Economic Revitalization & Business that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2030, S.D. 2, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2030, S.D. 2, 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,
