SENATE BILL No. 313

 

 

March 3, 2009, Introduced by Senator PAPPAGEORGE and referred to the Committee on Senior Citizens and Veterans Affairs.

 

 

 

     A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled

 

"The management and budget act,"

 

by amending section 241 (MCL 18.1241), as amended by 1999 PA 8.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 241. (1) Except for the contracts permitted in section

 

240, a contract shall not be awarded for the construction, repair,

 

remodeling, or demolition of a facility unless the contract is let

 

pursuant to a bidding procedure which that is approved by the

 

board. The department shall issue directives prescribing procedures

 

to be used to implement this section. The procedures shall require

 

a competitive solicitation in the award of any contract for

 

construction, repair, remodeling, or demolition of a facility.

 

     (2) The department may award or approve the award, if the

 

board approves, of construction contracts to construct a project

 

for which the director is the agent and may expend, for the

 

purposes and in the manner set forth, the amounts appropriated. The

 

director is not the agent for a community college or institution of

 

higher education, but may act in that capacity upon the specific

 

request of a community college or institution of higher education.

 

     (3) In awarding a contract under this section, the department

 

shall give a preference of up to 10% of the amount of the contract

 

to a qualified disabled veteran, as defined in section 261. If the

 

qualified disabled veteran otherwise meets the requirements of the

 

contract solicitation and with the preference is the lowest bidder,

 

the department shall enter into a construction contract with the

 

qualified disabled veteran under this act. If 2 or more qualified

 

disabled veterans are the lowest bidders on a contract, all other

 

things being equal, the qualified disabled veteran with the lowest

 

bid shall be awarded the contract under this act.
