(3) A bid may be submitted either manually or electronically in a manner authorized by the purchasing agency;

(4) Each bid shall be opened publicly in the presence of one or more witnesses at the time and place designated in the invitation for bids. The amount of each bid, and such other relevant information as may be specified, together with the name of each bidder shall be recorded. Except as otherwise provided by law, the record and each bid shall be open to public inspection;

(5) Each bid shall be unconditionally accepted without alteration or correction, except as authorized in this section. Each bid shall be evaluated based on the requirements set forth in the invitation for bids, which may include criteria to determine acceptability such as inspection, testing, quality, workmanship, delivery, and suitability for a particular purpose. Those criteria that will affect the bid price and be considered in evaluation for award shall be objectively measurable, such as discounts, transportation costs, and total or life cycle costs. The invitation for bids shall set forth the evaluation criteria to be used. No criteria may be used in bid evaluation that are not set forth in the invitation for bids;

(6) Any bid may be withdrawn by letter or by electronic communications or in person before the time specified in the advertisement therefor. The purchasing agency may allow modification of bids by mail, facsimile, or electronic notice received at the place designated in the invitation to bid not later than the time set for the opening of bids. A modification may not reveal the bid price but shall provide the addition or subtraction or the modification so that the final prices or terms will not be known to the purchasing agency until the sealed bid is opened. A modification may not be withdrawn after the time set for the opening of bids. Each modification shall be confirmed in writing by the successful bidder before award of the contract. No bid made may be changed or altered by telephone. After bid opening, no withdrawal of a bid or change in bid prices or other provisions of bids prejudicial to the interest of the purchasing agency or fair competition is permitted. The purchasing agency may waive technical irregularities in the bid or proposal of the low bidder or offeror which irregularities do not alter the price, quality, or quantity of the services, or items of tangible personal property bid or offered. Any decision to permit the correction or withdrawal of a bid, or to cancel an award or a contract based on a bid mistake, shall

be supported by a written determination made by the purchasing agency, and included in the bid file;

(7) The contract shall be awarded within thirty days of the bid opening by written notice to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder whose bid meets the requirements and criteria set forth in the invitation for bids. The purchasing agency may reject any and all bids and readvertise for bids if none of the bids are satisfactory, or if the purchasing agency believes an agreement has been entered into by the bidders to prevent competition. If the low bidder is not responsible or the bid is not made in accordance with the requirements of this Act or the low bid is withdrawn as authorized by this section, the bid of the next lowest responsible and responsive bidder may be accepted;

(8) If it is considered impractical to initially prepare a purchase description to support an award based on price, an invitation for bids may be issued requesting the submission of unpriced offers to be followed by an invitation for bids limited to those bidders whose offers have been qualified under the criteria set forth in the first solicitation;

(9) If, after advertising for bids, no firm bids are received, the purchasing agency may negotiate a contract for the purchase of the supplies, services, or public improvement projects at the most advantageous price, if the specifications of the original bid are met;

(10) If two or more competitive sealed bids submitted are identical in price and product quality, the bids are the low bid, and no resident bidder preference is applicable, the purchasing agency may:

(a) Award the bid by lottery to one of the identical low bidders; or

(b) Reject all the bids and resolicit bids for the required supplies, services, or public improvement.

Section 7. A contract may be entered into by competitive sealed proposals if the purchasing agency determines in writing that the use of competitive sealed bids is either not practicable or not advantageous.

Section 8. The procedures for issuing a contract through competitive sealed proposals are as follows:

(1) The proposals shall be solicited through a request for proposals. The request for proposals shall state the relative importance of price and other factors, if any;

(2) Public notice of the request for proposals shall be given pursuant to section 15 of this Act;

(3) A proposal may be submitted either manually or electronically in a manner authorized by the purchasing agency;

(4) Each proposal shall be opened so as to avoid disclosure of contents to competing offerors during the process of negotiation. A register of proposals shall be prepared documenting the name and address of each offeror and identifying each offeror awarded a contract. The register shall be open for public inspection after contract award;

(5) As provided in the request for proposals, a discussion may be conducted with any responsible offeror who submitted a proposal determined to be reasonably susceptible of being selected for award for the purpose of clarification to assure full understanding of, and responsiveness to, the solicitation requirements. Each offeror shall be accorded fair and equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion and revision of a proposal. A revision may be permitted after a submission and prior to an award for the purpose of obtaining the best and final offer. In conducting any discussion, there may be no disclosure of any information derived from any proposal submitted by a competing offeror;

(6) An award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation and is determined in writing to be the most advantageous to the purchasing agency taking into consideration price and the evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals. No other factors or criteria may be used in the evaluation. The contract file shall contain the basis on which the award is made. Written notice of the award of a contract to the successful offeror shall be promptly given to each offeror. The purchasing agency may reject any and all proposals and readvertise for proposals if none of the proposals are satisfactory, or if the purchasing agency believes any agreement has been entered into by the offerors to prevent competition; and

(7) This section does not apply to state professional service contracts issued pursuant to sections 110 to 119, inclusive, of this Act.

Section 9. A contract may be awarded for supplies or services without competition if the purchasing agency determines in writing that the supplies or services are of such a unique nature that the contractor selected is clearly and justifiably the only practicable source to provide the supplies or services. The determination that the contractor selected is justifiably the sole source shall be based on either the uniqueness of the supplies or services or the sole availability at the location required. In such cases, the purchasing agency shall conduct negotiations, including price, delivery, and quantity to obtain the most advantageous price and shall include the written verification of the sole source in the contract file. This section does not apply to construction services or construction equipment.

Section 10. A purchasing agency may make or authorize others to make an emergency procurement without advertising the procurement if rentals are not practicable and there exists a threat to public health, welfare, or safety or for other urgent and compelling reasons. Failure to abide by the bid provisions of this Act in a timely manner is not an emergency. An emergency procurement shall be made with such competition as is practicable under the circumstances. A written determination of the basis for the emergency and for the selection of the particular contractor shall be included in the contract file.

Section 11. The purchasing agency shall maintain a record listing each contract made under sole source procurement and emergency procurement for a minimum of five years. The record shall contain:

(1) Each contractor's name;

(2) The amount and type of each contract; and

(3) A listing of the supplies, services, and public improvements procured under each contract.

Section 12. Unless otherwise specified by statute, purchases of supplies and services under twenty-five thousand dollars shall be made as follows:

(1) State purchases of supplies over one thousand dollars and under twenty-five thousand dollars shall be processed by the Bureau of Administration and shall be made by first obtaining three quotes from different vendors. If three quotes cannot be obtained, a sole source justification shall accompany the purchase request and the Bureau of Administration may approve the purchase if in the best interest of the state, require additional quotes to be obtained, or require the purchase be advertised for bids;

(2) State purchases of supplies under one thousand dollars may be made in accordance with procedures established by the purchasing agency in the best interests of the state;

(3) State purchases of services under twenty-five thousand dollars may be made in accordance with procedures established by the purchasing agency in the best interests of the state; and

(4) For all other purchasing agencies, purchases under twenty-five thousand dollars may be made in accordance with procedures established by the purchasing agency.

No purchases may be artificially divided to constitute a small purchase under this section.

Section 13. An invitation for bids, a request for proposals, or other solicitation may be canceled, or any or all bids or proposals may be rejected in whole or in part as may be specified in the solicitation, if the purchasing agency determines it is in the best interests of the agency. The reasons for the cancellation or rejection shall be made part of the contract file.

Section 14. There is hereby created a centralized public bid exchange. The Bureau of Administration shall establish the exchange either within the bureau or within another public or private organization. The purpose of the exchange is to facilitate the publishing of official state and political subdivision bids to provide greater notice to bidders and to the state and its political subdivisions. The exchange shall maintain a list of all state bids and proposals and all bids and proposals provided by political subdivisions which participate in the exchange. The exchange shall set and charge each bidder, offeror, or political subdivision or both a fee for participation in the exchange to defray the cost of administering the exchange.

Section 15. If the purchasing agency intends to enter into a contract for any public improvement that involves the expenditure of fifty thousand dollars or more, or a contract for the purchase of supplies or services, other than professional services, that involves the expenditure of twenty-five thousand dollars or more, the purchasing agency shall advertise for bids or proposals. The advertisement shall appear as a legal notice in the appointed legal newspaper. The advertisement shall be printed at least twice, with the first publication at least ten days before opening of bids or the deadline for the submission of proposals. The first publication shall be in each official newspaper of the purchasing agency, and the second publication may be in any legal newspaper of the state chosen by the purchasing agency. If the purchasing agency has no official newspaper, the first publication shall be made in a legal newspaper with general circulation in the jurisdiction of the purchasing agency to be selected by the purchasing agency. The advertisement shall state the time and place where the bids will be opened or the deadline for the submission of proposals. In each notice, the purchasing agency shall reserve the right to reject any or all bids or proposals.

Section 16. After receiving notice of a contract award, the successful bidder or offeror shall enter into a contract with the purchasing agency within the time specified in the invitation for bids or request for proposals. If any bidder or offeror fails to enter into a contract within the time specified, the contract may be awarded to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder or offeror for the same kind of work and material, unless all bids or proposals are rejected. The defaulting bidder or offeror shall be responsible for the difference in price.

Section 17. If any successful bidder or offeror fails to fulfill the conditions of an awarded contract, the purchasing agency may proceed to recover from the defaulting party whatever damages may have been sustained as a result of the default. The purchasing agency shall have all remedies provided in the contract and provided by law.

Section 18. No officer or employee who approves, awards, or administers a contract involving the expenditure of public funds or the sale or lease of property, may have an interest in a contract that is within the scope of the officer's or employee's official duties. This prohibition includes any officer or employee who, in his or her official capacity, recommends the approval or award of the contract or who supervises a person who approves, awards, or administers the contract. This prohibition does not include any officer who serves without compensation or who may be paid per diem pursuant to § 4-7-10.4. Any contract made in violation of this section is void. Any officer or employee who knowingly violates this section is guilty of a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Section 19. Any specification shall seek to promote overall economy for the purposes intended and encourage competition in satisfying the purchasing agency's needs, and may not be unduly restrictive. Brand name or equal specifications may be used if the purchasing agency determines in writing that:

(1) No other design or performance specification or qualified products list is available;

(2) Time does not permit the preparation of another form of purchase description, not including a brand name specification;

(3) The nature of the product or the nature of the purchasing agency's requirements makes use of a brand name or equal specification suitable for the procurement; or

(4) Use of a brand name or equal specification is in the purchasing agency's best interests.

Section 20. Brand name or equal specifications shall seek to designate three, or as many different brands as are practicable, as "or equal" references and shall further state that substantially equivalent products to those designated will be considered for award. Unless the purchasing agency determines in writing that the essential characteristics of the brand names included in the specifications are commonly known in the industry or trade, brand name or equal specifications shall include a description of the particular design, functional, or performance characteristics which are required. If a brand name or equal specification is used in a solicitation, the solicitation shall contain explanatory language that the use of a brand name is for the purpose of describing the standard of quality, performance, and characteristics desired and is not intended to limit or restrict competition.

Section 21. Brand name specification may be used only if the purchasing agency makes a written determination that only the identified brand name item or items will satisfy the agency's needs. The agency shall seek to identify sources from which the designated brand name item or items can be obtained and shall solicit such sources to achieve whatever degree of price competition is practicable. If only one source can supply the requirement, the procurement shall be made under the sole source procurement provisions of section 9 of this Act.

Section 22. Each contract shall be in writing and shall be signed on behalf of the purchasing agency by the authorized officials.

Section 23. The provisions of this Act do not apply to:

(1) Any highway construction contract entered into by the Department of Transportation;

(2) Any contract for the purchase of supplies from the United States or its agencies or any contract issued by the General Services Administration;
