BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 44.031(b), Education Code, is amended to | ||
read as follows: | ||
(b) Except as provided by this subchapter, in determining to | ||
whom to award a contract, the district shall consider: | ||
(1) the purchase price; | ||
(2) the reputation of the vendor and of the vendor's | ||
goods or services; | ||
(3) the quality of the vendor's goods or services; | ||
(4) the extent to which the goods or services meet the | ||
district's needs; | ||
(5) the vendor's past relationship with the district; | ||
(6) the impact on the ability of the district to comply | ||
with laws and rules relating to historically underutilized | ||
businesses; | ||
(7) the total long-term cost to the district to | ||
acquire the vendor's goods or services; [ |
||
(8) for a contract for goods and services other than | ||
goods and services related to building construction and | ||
maintenance, whether the vendor, or the vendor's ultimate parent | ||
company or majority owner, has its principal place of business in | ||
this state; and | ||
(9) any other relevant factor specifically listed in | ||
the request for bids or proposals. | ||
SECTION 2. Section 44.031(b), Education Code, as amended by | ||
this Act, applies only to a contract entered into or renewed on or | ||

in effect on the date the contract was entered into or renewed, and | ||
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2011. |
