relating to the contracting authority of the Parks and Wildlife | ||
Department. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 11.0171, Parks and Wildlife Code, is | ||
amended by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows: | ||
(c) If the executive director or the executive director's | ||
designee does not receive any responsive bids on a competitive | ||
solicitation for goods or services, the executive director or the | ||
executive director's designee after making a written determination | ||
that competition is not available may negotiate with and award the | ||
contract to any qualified vendor who meets the requirements of the | ||
original solicitation. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 11.0171(c), Parks and Wildlife Code, as | ||
added by this Act, applies only to a contract for which bids are | ||
first solicited on or after the effective date of this Act. A | ||
contract for which bids are first solicited before the effective | ||
date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed immediately | ||
before the effective date of this Act, and that law is continued in | ||
effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
