RE:    S.B. No. 2061

       S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Colleen Hanabusa

President of the Senate

Twenty-Fifth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2010

State of Hawaii

 

Madam:

 

     Your Committees on Labor and Judiciary and Government Operations, to which was referred S.B. No. 2061 entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"

 

beg leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose of this measure is to allow bidders and their subcontractors who are registered under an apprenticeship agreement with the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to benefit from a five per cent reduction in their bid amount on contracts for $250,000 or more.

 

     Testimony in support of this measure was submitted by five private organizations.  Written testimony presented to the Committees may be reviewed on the Legislature's website.

 

     Your Committees find that subcontractors and apprentices provide the bulk of the workforce for the construction industry in Hawaii and a five per cent reduction in the bid amount for subcontractors will benefit the local economy and the apprenticeship and training programs within the State.

 

     Your Committees have amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on this measure.

 

     As affirmed by the records of votes of the members of your Committees on Labor and Judiciary and Government Operations that are attached to this report, your Committees are in accord with the intent and purpose of S.B. No. 2061, as amended herein, and recommend that it pass Second Reading in the form attached hereto as S.B. No. 2061, S.D. 1, and be referred to the Committee on Ways and Means.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committees on Labor and Judiciary and Government Operations,
