House Bill 1972 |
House Author: Hamilton |
|
Effective: 6-19-09 |
Senate Sponsor: Williams |
Previous law allowed certain port commissions to make routine purchases or contracts and, under certain conditions, emergency purchases or contracts in an amount not to exceed $25,000 without complying with competitive bidding procedures. House Bill 1972 amends the Water Code to increase the maximum amount of the allowable purchase or contract to $50,000. The bill specifies that the requirement to attach a certified check, cashier's check, or bidders bond to a bid applies if the bid specifications require such an attachment.
