HOUSE BILL 607
Law
Public works, bids, challenges
PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND WORKS – Adds to existing law to establish a procedure for bidders to challenge an administrator’s decision under certain circumstances.
RS31403 / H0607
Unlike other states, Idaho does not have a statutory process for appealing public works project awards. Until two years ago, there was no process at all. In 2022, the Division of Public Works and the Permanent building Fund Advisory Council adopted a policy to create a process. This bill codifies a challenge and appeals process, building on what has worked well over the past two years and making modifications where lessons have been learned.
In the past two years, there have been five challenges to DPW projects. If the number of challenges remains about the same, this bill will not have a fiscal impact as challenges can be handled through existing staff.
