Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Mike Penwell CS-FAC 2/18/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Agree. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Jenifer Willer PWE 3/1/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: I agree with Paul’s comments. <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Paul Klope PWE 2/15/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: The impact of this bill on City contracts is unclear, because while it requires the contractor to <br />supply information with their bids that shows that the contractor has complied with applicable <br />state and federal health and safety standards and applicable building codes on previous contracts, <br />it doesn't say how far back the contractor has to look, or what remedies there will be to allow the <br />contractor to bid again in the future if they have a violation. Also, there the bill looks at all <br />violations the same, so that what could be considered a very minor violation causing an <br />inconvenience carries the same penalty as willful and repeated life-threatening violations over a <br />period of time. For example, will a contractor be banned for life from bidding on public contracts <br />because they failed to provide adequate restroom facilities on a five hour pothole repair project? <br />There is not a contractor in town that hasn't received some type of citation for very minor safety <br />or health violation. If this bill becomes law as written, it could have the unintended consequence <br />of reducing the number of, or, in a worse case scenario, eliminating all qualified bidders for <br />public infrastructure contracts. <br /> <br />The intent of this bill seems positive, but it needs more work to prevent negative impacts to <br />public contracting. I recommend we oppose unless modified. <br /> <br /> <br />HB 3316 <br /> <br />Relating Clause: Relating to certain professional services procured under Public Contracting Code; declaring an <br />emergency. <br /> <br />Title: Adds photgrammetry to list of services subject to procurement procedures for contracting with <br />architects, engineers, photogrammetrists and land surveyors. <br /> <br />Sponsored by: By COMMITTEE ON BUSINESS AND LABOR <br /> <br />URL: http://www.leg.state.or.us/11reg/measpdf/hb3300.dir/hb3316.intro.pdf <br /> <br /> <br />Contact Respondent Dept Updated Priority Recommendation <br />Paul Klope PWE 3/1/2011 Pri 2 Oppose <br /> <br />Comments: Adds photgrammetry to the list of services covered by 279C which require selection based on <br />qualifications (QBS) rather than strictly price. No affect on the City, because we already consider <br />photogrammetry to fall into the category of "related services". <br /> <br />4 | Page <br />March 16, 2011 IGR Committee Meeting <br />
