[Cobo] FW: Public Construction Proposed Amendment

[Sawyer, Greg]

The limit was raised from $12,500 to $25,000 in 2002  So your inflation
calculation may need to be adjusted.
 
On thing I would suggest is that some one get a member to request from
DCS the number of contracts handled in the $25,000 to $40,000 range and
how much time is spent on those contracts compared to the number of
contracts and time spent on those above the $40,000 level.
 
The argument that an inordinate amount of time was being spent on
"small' contracts compared to the time spent on "big"contracts  (where
there more need for oversight, more potential for problems, etc.)  was
successful in getting the limit raised from $7,500 to $12,500.

Sheri, others: 

For what it is worth I did an inflation calculation on $25,000 in 1974
and for 2005.  The equivalent is now: 
$103,940.68 

Thought this might be helpful in making a case for a rise in the amount
from $25,000.  We have proposed only going to half of what inflation has
done to that $25,000.

The following information is being sent at the request of Tom Poole in
support of your efforts to contact the legislative members of the
sub-committee that will address HB 2765.  The author of the bill is Curt
Roggow and proposes an increase for bidding of public construction

language from the $50,000 originally proposed.) 
  
It is important that the members of the committee are contacted prior to

counterparts in other State Agencies that do public construction
projects and encourage them to also contact these members to express
their support.  By clicking on the links below, you will be directed to
