The committee shall solicit competitive bids or proposals by sending notices to prospective suppliers and by posting notice on a public bulletin board in a building under the supervision and control of the Joint Committee on Legislative Management or on an Internet web site designated by the Joint Committee on Legislative Management. Each bid and proposal shall be kept sealed or secured until opened publicly at the time stated in the notice soliciting such bid. If the amount of the expenditure or sale is estimated to exceed fifty thousand dollars, competitive bids or proposals shall be solicited by public notice, posted on the State Contracting Portal not less than five calendar days before the final date for submitting bids. All purchases or sales of ten thousand dollars or less in amount shall be made in the open market, but shall be based, when possible, on at least three competitive quotations.

(c) The committee may waive the requirement of competitive bidding or competitive negotiation in the case of minor nonrecurring and emergency purchases of ten thousand dollars or less in amount. The committee shall adopt guidelines establishing (1) standards and procedures for using competitive negotiation for purchases and contracts, including but not limited to, criteria which shall be considered in making purchases by competitive negotiation and the weight which shall be assigned to each such criterion, and (2) standards and procedures under which additional purchases may be made under existing contracts.

(d) Whenever an emergency exists by reason of extraordinary conditions or contingencies that could not reasonably be foreseen and guarded against, or because of unusual trade or market conditions, the committee may, if it is for the best interest of the state, waive the requirement that purchases be based on competitive bids or competitive negotiation as provided in this section. A statement of all such purchases and sales made under the provisions of this subsection shall be set forth in the annual report of the committee.

(e) The purchase of or contract for the following public utility services shall not be subject to competitive bidding or competitive negotiation: (A) Electric distribution services; (B) water services; (C) gas distribution services; (D) electric generation services until the date such services are competitive pursuant to the schedule set forth in section 16-244b , provided electric generation services shall be exempt from competitive bidding and competitive negotiation after said date if such services are provided by an electric municipal utility other than by a participating electric municipal utility, as defined in section 16-1 , in the service area of said electric municipal utility; and (E) gas supply services until the date such services are competitive pursuant to legislative act or order of the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority, provided gas supply services shall be exempt from competitive bidding and competitive negotiation after said date if such services are provided by a gas municipal utility in the service area of said gas municipal utility.

(f) As used in this section, (1) “lowest responsible qualified bidder” means the bidder whose bid is the lowest of those bidders possessing the skill, ability and integrity necessary to faithful performance of the work based on objective criteria considering past performance and financial responsibility, and (2) “highest scoring bidder in a multiple criteria bid” means the bidder whose bid receives the highest score for a combination of attributes, including, but not limited to, price, skill, ability and integrity necessary for the faithful performance of the work, based on multiple criteria considering quality of product, warranty, life-cycle cost, past performance, financial responsibility and other objective criteria that are established in the bid solicitation for the contract. Bidders shall submit with their bids essential information concerning their qualifications, in such form as the committee may require by specification in the bid documents. The committee may waive minor irregularities in bids and proposals if it determines that such a waiver would be in the best interest of the state. As used in this subsection, the term “minor irregularities” does not include payment of less than the wage required under subsection (i) of this section, variations in the quality, unit price or date of delivery or completion of supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services, or exceptions to programs required under the general statutes. The committee shall state the reasons for any such waiver in writing and include such statement in the contract file.

(g) All open market orders or contracts shall be awarded to (1) the lowest responsible qualified bidder, the qualities of the articles to be supplied, their conformity with the specifications, their suitability to the requirements of the state government and the delivery terms being taken into consideration and, at the discretion of the committee, life-cycle costs and trade-in or resale value of the articles may be considered where it appears to be in the best interest of the department, (2) the highest scoring bidder in a multiple criteria bid, in accordance with the criteria set forth in the bid solicitation, or (3) the proposer whose proposal is deemed by the committee to be the most advantageous to the department, in accordance with the criteria set forth in the request for proposals, including price and evaluation factors. In considering past performance of a bidder for the purpose of determining the “lowest responsible qualified bidder” or the “highest scoring bidder in a multiple criteria bid”, the committee shall evaluate the skill, ability and integrity of the bidder in terms of the bidder's fulfillment of past contract obligations and the bidder's experience or lack of experience in delivering supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services of the size or amount for which bids have been solicited. If any such bidder refuses to accept, within ten days, a contract awarded to such bidder, such contract may be awarded to the next lowest responsible qualified bidder or the next highest scoring bidder in a multiple criteria bid, whichever is applicable, and so on until such contract is awarded and accepted. If any such proposer refuses to accept, within ten days, a contract awarded to such proposer, such contract shall be awarded to the next most advantageous proposer, and so on until the contract is awarded and accepted. There shall be a written evaluation made of each bid. This evaluation shall: Identify the vendors and their respective costs and prices; document the reason why any vendor is deemed to be nonresponsive; and recommend a vendor for award. The committee shall submit to the Auditors of Public Accounts an annual report of all awards made pursuant to the provisions of this section.

(h) When, in the opinion of the committee, the best interest of the state will be served thereby, it may order that any or all bids or proposals may be rejected. If all bids or proposals are so rejected, the committee shall advertise again for bids or proposals and such bids or proposals shall be opened, awarded and approved in like manner as provided in this section. If all bids or proposals received on a pending contract are for the same unit price or total amount, the committee may order the rejection of all bids or proposals and purchase of the required supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services in the open market, provided the price paid in the open market shall not exceed the bid price. Each bid or proposal, with the name of the bidder or proposer, shall be entered on a record, and each record, with the successful bid or proposal indicated thereon, shall, after the award of the order or contract, be open to public inspection.

(i) Each contract for contractual services entered into by the committee on and after July 1, 2015, shall require the contractor awarded such contract, and each subcontractor of such contractor, to pay each of the contractor's or subcontractor's employees providing services under such contract, and that are performed or rendered at the Legislative Office Building or the State Capitol, a wage of at least (1) fifteen dollars per hour, or (2) if applicable, the amount required to be paid under subsection (b) of section 31-57f , whichever is greater. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to any employee providing services under such contract who receives services from the Department of Developmental Services.

(j) Any purchase or contract for supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services contrary to the provisions of this section shall be void and of no effect.

(c) Prepare or advise in the preparation of any bill or resolution when requested to do so by the Governor or any member of the General Assembly;

(d) Upon request of the Governor, advise the Governor concerning any bill which has been passed by the General Assembly and has been or is to be presented to the Governor for his approval or disapproval;

(e) Before any bill is favorably reported to either branch of the General Assembly, either commissioner shall approve its form and note his certification to such effect on such bill. If such commissioner disapproves of the form of any bill submitted to him, he shall return such bill to the committee from which it was received with his disapproval and the reasons therefor noted thereon. Either commissioner shall, on request of the member introducing an amendment, examine the same as to form and return it to the member with his approval, or with his disapproval with the reasons therefor noted thereon. After all amendments to any bill have been adopted by either house of the General Assembly before final passage, such bill and the amendments shall be immediately turned over to either commissioner by the clerk of such house.

One copy of such consolidation and codification and of each revised volume shall be filed in the office of the Secretary of the State.

See Sec. 2-29 re commissioners' direction of bill engrossing process.

Subsec. (g):

Cited. 195 C. 598. Biennial codifications compiled by the Legislative Commissioners' Office pursuant to Subsec. and thereafter ratified by the legislature constitute an authoritative source for the statutory law of the state at the time they went into effect and the content of such revisions are presumptively correct, and a party seeking to overcome that presumption bears the burden of proving its infirmity. 337 C. 806.

Codification of public acts is administrative duty of legislative commissioners; it is within their discretion to arrange and codify public acts; they are not lawmakers; public acts and statutes are synonymous; important since case law always speaks of “statutes” rather than “public acts” when dealing with construction; statute must not be interpreted in any way to thwart its purpose; statute (act) shall be construed so as to give effect to legislative intent; parts of P.A. 75-637 were codified in different titles but all sections are properly construed as a single comprehensive act. 35 CS 177.

Conflict between public act 03-184, repealing Sec. 14-55, and subsequent public act 03-265, amending Sec. 14-55, cannot be resolved by application of Subsec. (a) because an outright repeal does not qualify as an amendment so as to justify the application of section. 337 C. 806.
