Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1469 amends Government Code provisions relating to state building construction projects. Under previous law, the General Services Commission was required to advertise for bids or proposals in two or more newspapers of general circulation. The act changes that requirement to one newspaper and the Texas Register. It defines small construction projects to include those that have an estimated value of less than $25,000 and that require advance preparation of working plans or drawings. For such projects, the act reduces the bidding response period, and the preinterview preparation period for a private design professional, from 30 to 14 days.
