BILL NUMBER:S3750
Title of bill
An act to amend the economic development law and the state finance law, in relation to advance notice of state procurements
Purpose or general idea of bill
To provide the public with more advance notice of state procurements so that prospective contractors may have sufficient time to evaluate an opportunity to submit a proposal.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends subdivision 5 of section 142 of the economic develop- ment law to provide for a quarterly listing of procurement contracts in the amount of $50,000 in the procurement opportunities newsletter.
Section 2 amends subdivision 8 of section 163 of the state finance law to require advertisement of notice of planned procurements at least six months prior to the formal request for proposal or bid request.
Justification
Prospective contractors with the state should be allowed sufficient time to evaluate requests for proposals (RFP) by the state and to prepare a bid or proposal. Under current law state agencies are not required to provide any advance notice of RFPs. This leaves many prospective contractors without enough time to prepare. This legislation will remedy this problem by requiring state agencies to advertise notice of an RFP 6 months in advance of the formal request.
