House Bill 664 amends the Local Government Code to allow certain municipalities with a population of less than 250,000 to accept a competitive sealed bid in specified contracts from a bidder whose principal place of business is within the municipality if that bid is within five percent of the lowest bid received and the local bid also demonstrates sufficient economic development opportunities for the municipality. The bill amends the Education Code to allow a school district whose central administrative office is located in a municipality with a population of less than 250,000 to offer similar consideration to local bidders for certain contracts.
