Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Public Building Commission Act. Provides that the Commission may acquire fee simple title or a lesser interest in real property located within the District (now, fee simple only). Provides that the Commission may rent all or part of its buildings to certain entities for any period of time (now, for a period not to exceed 30 years). Increases the maximum moving allowance and the maximum optional fixed relocation payment for displaced persons. Increases to $10,000 (now, $5,000) the minimum dollar amount of contracts that must be let for open competitive bidding. Requires public advertisement of contracts let for open competitive bidding at least once (now, at least once in each week for 3 consecutive weeks prior to the opening of bids) in a daily newspaper of general circulation in the county where the commission is located. Provides an emergency situation exception to the publication requirement for contracts subject to open competitive bidding. Requires all bids to be open to public inspection after an award or final selection has been made (now, for a period of at least 48 hours before an award is made). Deletes a requirement that a copy of every contract entered into by the public building commission shall be executed in duplicate. Effective immediately.

House Amendment No. 1
In a Section of the bill that allows certain emergency contracts to be awarded without public advertisement, provides that the contract accepted must be based on the lowest responsible proposal (instead of bid) after the commission has made a diligent effort to solicit multiple proposals (instead of bids). Provides that the chief executive officer's report to the Board must include the names of all parties solicited for proposals (instead of bids) and their proposals (instead of bids). Increases the minimum dollar amount of contracts that must be let for open competitive bidding to $20,000 (instead of $10,000). Restores the requirement that public advertisement of contracts let for open competitive bidding be published at least once each week for three consecutive weeks prior to the opening of bids.
