                   SB 5857

                           C 94 L 95

                      Synopsis as Enacted

Brief Description:  Revising the procedure for identifying subcontractors for specified public works contracts.

Sponsors:  Senators Morton, Pelz, Heavey, McCaslin, Fraser, Moyer, Hochstatter, Deccio, Palmer and Schow.

Senate Committee on Government Operations

House Committee on Government Operations

Background:  Those who bid on any public works contract of $100,000 or more must submit as part of the bid, or within one hour after the published bid submittal time, the names of all subcontractors whose subcontract amount is more than 10 percent of the contract price.  Failure to list these subcontractors in the manner prescribed by statute renders the bid void.

Summary:  Subcontractors whose subcontracts are 10 percent of the bid price must be listed.  The format used for listing is more easily understood by the general public.
