RE: H.B. No. 691
Honorable Calvin K.Y. Say
Speaker, House of Representatives
Twenty-Second State Legislature
Regular Session of 2003
State of Hawaii
Sir:
Your Committee on Finance, to which was referred H.B. No. 691 entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO THE PUBLIC PROCUREMENT CODE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The purpose of this bill is to enable smaller local contractors to compete more effectively for public works projects up for bid by allowing local joint ventures to qualify for up to a seven-percent preference if each contractor in the joint venture qualifies individually for the preference.
The General Contractors Association of Hawaii submitted testimony in support of this bill.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Finance that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 691 and recommends that it pass Second Reading and be placed on the calendar for Third Reading.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Finance,
____________________________ DWIGHT Y. TAKAMINE, Chair |
