New online bidding rules for contractors

For road and bridge jobs the department estimates over $250,000, it posts the bid notice on its website at least 20 days before bids are due. It also publishes the notice once a week for three weeks in the county newspaper. The website posting still counts as proper notice even if the newspaper ad is missing or there are temporary internet outages. Notices must list the project location, where to view plans, when bids are filed and opened, and the department’s web page with full bid details. For projects at $250,000 or less, the department may request bids from at least three potential bidders and may award with at least one responsive bid. Each October 1, these dollar cutoffs adjust by the prior 12 months’ CPI‑U and round up to the next $1,000.

Legislature must approve large transportation department buildings

The transportation department must get the Legislature’s consent before building any department building that costs more than the adjusted amount in section 81-1114.01. This replaces the old fixed $100,000 trigger with a threshold tied to that adjusted amount. Large department building projects cannot proceed without that approval.
