Enrolled Act No.:    SEA0049

Chapter No.:            CH0132

Prime Sponsor:       Senator Von Flatern

Catch Title:              Bidder qualifications-community colleges-2.

Subject:                     Powers of a community college district board to pre-qualify bidders for construction projects.

Summary/Major Elements:

· This legislation provides explicit authority for a community college district board to pre-qualify bidders on construction projects.

· The projects on which a board may pre-qualify bidders must be projects over which the board controls the bidding process.  The board does not control bidding on many projects where state funding is involved and where the Department of Administration and Information is in control of construction management. [2013 Senate File 77 includes changes to Wyoming law which assign additional construction management duties to the Department of Administration and Information for community college construction projects.]

· Pre-qualification must be accomplished through the use of standard forms and procedures adopted by the board.
