STAND. COM. REP. NO. 3660

 

Honolulu, Hawaii

                   

 

RE:     H.B. No. 2055

        H.D. 1

        S.D. 1

 

 

 

Honorable Ronald D. Kouchi

President of the Senate

Twenty-Ninth State Legislature

Regular Session of 2018

State of Hawaii

 

Sir:

 

     Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.B. No. 2055, H.D. 1, entitled:

 

"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO PROCUREMENT,"

 

begs leave to report as follows:

 

     The purpose and intent of this measure is to appropriate moneys to the State Procurement Office for the establishment of two full-time equivalent (2.0 FTE) construction procurement specialist positions.

 

     Your Committee received written comments in support of this measure from the State Procurement Office and the Department of Transportation.

 

     Your Committee finds that the unique nature of construction procurement necessitates personnel specializing in that field.  Accordingly, the addition of two construction procurement specialists to the State Procurement Office will allow the office to adequately review construction procurement policy and assist other agencies with complex construction procurements.

 

     Your Committee has amended this measure by changing the effective date to July 1, 2050, to facilitate further discussion on the measure.

 

     As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 2055, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it pass Third Reading in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 2055, H.D. 1, S.D. 1.

 

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
