Title: Permits contracting agency to consider bidder’s record of relations with subcontractors in evaluating bidder’s responsibility for purposes of awarding public contract. Sponsored by: By Representative SCHAUFLER (Presession filed.) URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb2600.dir/hb2619.intro.pdf Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Jamie Garner CS-FIN 01/19/2011 -- Neutral Comments: The addition of bidder's record of relations with subs in the consideration of responsibility is optional and is relevant so I do not see this negatively impacting the City. If this should pass, however, it will necessitate modifications to existing City contract templates because of new requirements to the contractor. I will be interested in the outcome but do not feel that this will have a substantial impact on the City. Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Mike Penwell CS-FAC 01/14/20 -- Neutral Comments: I concur with Paul Klope's comments, although I'm not sure it's necessary to actively monitor this bill as Brenda and Jessica will send us this bill again if it is modified. Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation Paul Klope PWE 01/19/2011 -- Neutral Comments: Allows the public agency to consider a contractor's history regarding prompt payment to subcontractors when considering whether to award a public improvement contract. It is unlikely most public agencies will have knowledge of a contractor's past performance regarding payments to subcontractors. Since the bill is "permissive" and leaves it open as to how public agencies would evaluate and determine whether to award a contract based on this past performance, this bill will have little impact on the City. However, in the past bills like this have been modified during the session, so I recommend monitoring it in case something changes that could affect the City.
