A BILL FOR AN ACT
relating to competitive sealed proposals.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF HAWAII:
SECTION 1. Section 103D-303, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended by amending subsections (f) and (g) to read as follows:
"(f) Discussions may be conducted with responsible offerors who submit proposals determined to be reasonably likely to be selected for a contract award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to, the solicitation requirements. Offerors shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals, and revisions may be permitted after submissions and prior to award for the purpose of obtaining best offers or best and final offers. In conducting discussions, there shall be no disclosure of any information derived from proposals submitted by competing offerors.
(g) Award
shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined in
writing to be the most advantageous, taking into consideration price and the
evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals. No other factors or criteria shall be used in
the evaluation. The contract file shall
contain the basis on which the award is made.
For purposes of evaluation, when set forth in the request for
proposals, the purchasing agency may use the following methods to select an offeror:
(1) An
award or awards based solely on the ranking of proposals;
(2) Discussions
leading to best and final offers;
(3) Serial
negotiations, beginning with the highest ranked proposal;
(4) Competitive
simultaneous negotiations; or
(5) A
combination of the methods prescribed by this subsection."
SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval.
