HB 2056 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

Provides that, when a municipality receives a written protest from a bidder for a public works project which is the subject of competitive bids, the municipality shall not execute a contract for the project with anyone other than the protesting bidder, without first providing at least five days' written notice of the municipality's intent to execute a contract for the project.

Declares that a low bidder on a public works project who claims error and fails to enter into a contract is prohibited from bidding on the same project if a second or subsequent call for bids is made for the project.
