SENATE BILL No. 1026
March 20, 2012, Introduced by Senators MARLEAU, BRANDENBURG, ANDERSON, GREEN and BOOHER and referred to the Committee on Banking and Financial Institutions.
A bill to amend 1984 PA 431, entitled
"The management and budget act,"
by amending section 241 (MCL 18.1241), as amended by 2010 PA 22.
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 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. The
procedures shall require compliance with the Iran economic
sanctions act.
(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.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act does not take effect
unless Senate Bill No. 1024
of the 96th Legislature is enacted into law.
