for vendor participation and competitive vendor pricing.
(b) Implement request for proposal schedules that provide
reasonable time for vendor inspection and maximization

enhance the local government's tax base as part of a strategy for
reversal of declining revenues.
(d) Require any labor agreements associated with projects
funded by bonds to enhance local employment through the provision
of hiring preferences for qualified unemployed skilled workers with
