(2) An invitation for bids shall be issued and shall include a project description and all contractual terms and conditions applicable to the public works.

(3) Adequate public notice of the invitation for bids shall be given at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date set forth therein for the opening of bids. Such notice shall include publication at least fourteen (14) days prior to bid opening in a newspaper of general circulation in the area where the work is located.

(4) When prequalification is deemed by the department and by the respective state agency to be in the best interest of the state, competitive bidding procedures shall be open only to licensed public works contractors that meet preliminary supplemental qualifications. The solicitation for bids in a prequalified bidder public works project shall consist of two (2) stages: an initial stage for identifying prequalified contractors, either prime or specialty contractors, followed by a stage during which bid prices will be accepted only from prequalified contractors. Notice of the prequalification stage shall be given in the same manner that notice of open competitive bidding is provided. Prequalification standards must be premised upon demonstrated technical competence, experience constructing similar facilities, prior experience with the state, past performance related to quality, workmanship and timeliness, reliability, safety record, available nonfinancial resources, equipment and personnel as they relate to the subject project, and overall performance history based upon a contractor's entire body of work. Any request for qualifications must include the standards for evaluating the qualifications of prospective bidders. Licensed contractors desiring to be prequalified to bid on a project must submit a written response to a request for qualifications. After a review of qualification submittals, licensed contractors that meet the prequalification standards shall be so notified, and licensed contractors that do not meet the prequalification standards shall also be so notified. Thereafter, bids may be solicited from contractors that meet the prequalification standards. The department may promulgate rules or develop procedures to implement the prequalification process.

(5) Bids shall be opened publicly 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 by rules, together with the name of each bidder, shall be entered on a record and the record shall be open to public inspection. After the time of the award, all bids and bid documents shall be open to public inspection in accordance with the provisions of chapter 1, title 74 and section 67-9215, Idaho Code.

(6) With respect to a project having a written cost estimate of greater than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000) but less than the public works limit established in section 67-5711, Idaho Code, the agency, if it does not perform the work with existing physical plant staff, must award a written contract to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder after soliciting at least three (3) documented informal bids from contractors licensed in Idaho to perform public works contracts, if reasonably available. Adequate public notice of the invitation for informal bids shall be given at least seven (7) days prior to the date set forth therein for the receipt of the informal bids. Such notice may include publication at least seven (7) days prior to bid opening in a newspaper of general circulation in the area where the work is located; or the agency may advertise the invitation for bids in appropriate trade journals, and otherwise notify persons believed to be interested in the award of a contract. Informal bids must be submitted by the contractor in writing in response to a prepared written document describing the project's scope of work in sufficient detail so as to enable a contractor familiar with such work to prepare a responsible bid. Nothing herein exempts an agency from the responsibility of utilizing formal plans and specifications if the work involves the public health or safety as described in chapters 3 and 12, title 54, Idaho Code. The agency must document receipt of the informal bids in the project file.

(7) Any personal property including goods, parts, supplies and equipment that is to be supplied or provided by a state agency for use in any public work, project, or preventive maintenance programs, whether the public work, project, or preventive maintenance program is constructed, undertaken or performed by agency in-house personnel, or by delegation pursuant to section 67-5710A, Idaho Code, or otherwise provided or supplied by the agency to a contractor, the personal property, goods, parts, supplies or equipment supplied or provided by the agency must be purchased or procured by the agency through the division of purchasing in accordance with the Idaho Code.

(8) No bid submitted pursuant to this section shall be accepted or denied based on environmental, social, and governance standards. For purposes of this subsection, "environmental, social, and governance standards" means procurement standards that screen or score bids, in whole or in part, on subjective ethical or sustainability criteria unrelated to the specifications in a solicitation or the qualifications of a bidder.

67-818 SPECIES, MINERALS, AND ENERGY COORDINATION.
Status: in_force

67-818. species, minerals, and energy coordination.

(1)(a) The legislature finds that:

(i) Idaho has been a leader in the nation promoting conservation of endangered, threatened, rare, declining, and candidate species by working with willing landowners, state agencies, and federal agencies to cooperatively and voluntarily preserve and protect species rather than use regulatory force;

(ii) Idaho has a rich mining history, as evidenced by the presence of a miner on the state seal, and is rightfully known as the gem state given that at least thirty (30) of the sixty (60) critical minerals and fifteen (15) rare earth elements have been discovered in the state, which puts Idaho in a unique position to produce and develop minerals that are vital for our national defense and economy and are necessary to advance technology and the modern lifestyle;

(iii) Idaho is a recognized national leader in research, development, and deployment of advanced nuclear technology and is home to the first nuclear-powered city in the United States and the development of the nation's nuclear navy program;

(iv) Idaho citizens and businesses enjoy some of the least expensive electric rates in the nation, mostly due to our extensive hydropower system and energy infrastructure; and

(v) Coordinated and consolidated advancement in species conservation and energy and mineral development within the state of Idaho is necessary to reduce regulatory burden, streamline state and federal processes, and ensure Idaho's resources are responsibly developed.

(b) Therefore, the intent of the legislature is to improve coordination, policy alignment, and operational efficiency by merging the office of energy and mineral resources, an entity formally established by executive order, and the office of species conservation, an entity formally established by statute, into a single administrative office that advances Idaho's natural resource priorities, facilitates federal and state permitting processes and coordination between federal and state agencies, and ensures prompt review and timely decision-making in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws. This merger does not create a new regulatory agency nor establish any additional layers of approval beyond those already required by law.

(2) As used in this section:

(a) "Administrator" means the administrator of the office of species, minerals, and energy coordination.

(b) "Appropriate agency" means any and all state and federal agencies deemed relevant and appropriate by the administrator.

(g) "Office" means the office of species, minerals, and energy coordination.

(h) "Species" means and includes any species or subspecies of fish or wildlife or plants, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife that interbreeds when mature, and the habitat thereof that is listed as endangered or threatened pursuant to the endangered species act, is petitioned to be a listed species or is listed as a candidate species pursuant to the endangered species act, or is found to be rare and declining, as that term is defined in section 36-2401, Idaho Code.

(3) There is hereby created in the office of the governor the office of species, minerals, and energy coordination. The administrator of the office shall be appointed by, and serve at the pleasure of, the governor and shall be subject to confirmation by the senate.

(4) The administrator shall:

(a) Be the official in the state designated to oversee implementation of federal recovery plans, as provided in 16 U.S.C. 1533(f);

(iii) With the various state departments and divisions that have duties and responsibilities affecting species in the state;

(iv) State implementation and response to federal recovery plans, biological opinions, guidance, and projects among all state and local governments in the state; and

(v) The state's energy, mineral, and species planning with appropriate state agencies;

(5) State management plans developed pursuant to this section shall be developed in consultation with the appropriate state agencies.

(6) The state of Idaho asserts primacy over the management of its natural resources. Accordingly, any introduction or reintroduction of any species onto lands within the state or into state waters, including those actions that would impair or impede the state's primacy over its natural resources, without state consultation and approval is against the policy of the state of Idaho and is hereby prohibited.

(a) The duties, responsibilities, and authority of this section shall not alter any existing authorities of state agencies established by state law.

(b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to provide or imply any regulatory authority by the office over activities that are subject to the jurisdiction of another state agency.

67-8902 DECLARATION OF NECESSITY AND PURPOSE.
Status: in_force

67-8902. Declaration of necessity and purpose. (1) It is hereby determined and declared that:

(a) Industrial, irrigation, commercial and residential consumers in the state of Idaho receive electric service from various investor-owned, cooperative and municipal utilities and the ability of these utilities to provide reliable and economic electric services at stable prices is essential to the economy and the economic development of the state of Idaho and to the health, safety and welfare of its people;

(b) The regional interconnection of electric utilities causes events and conditions in other western states to have a significant impact on the operations of utilities in the state of Idaho and the restructuring of the electric industry in recent years by the federal government and in other states has exposed all utilities in Idaho, and the consumers served by them, to volatile market prices, reliability concerns and other adverse conditions;

(c) It is in the best interest of the state of Idaho and its people that sufficient and reliable electric generation and transmission resources are developed and made available at cost-based rates in order to enable these utilities to meet existing and future demands for electric services, to provide adequate reserves and to promote reliability at the most stable rates practicable;

(d) The electric utility and energy industries are and will continue to be capital-intensive industries and the availability of cost-effective financing to investor-owned, cooperative and municipal utilities will enhance the ability of these utilities to provide and promote economic electric services to consumers in the state;

(e) Coordination, cooperation and joint ventures between and among such utilities with one another and with the private, cooperative, federal, state and municipal utilities and agencies that provide wholesale and retail electric services in the western states will promote regional electric reliability and stability and will provide economies of scale;

(f) It is the intent of the legislature to create the Idaho energy resources authority to promote the development and financing of facilities for the benefit of participating utilities and to accomplish the purposes stated above, and to authorize the authority to exercise all such powers as are necessary to enable it to achieve such purposes and to thereby promote and protect the economy of the state of Idaho and the health, safety and welfare of its people; and

(g) It is in the best interest of the state of Idaho and its people to encourage and promote the development of clean energy resources in order to develop reliable, economic, and long-term sources of energy supply, promote efficiencies in the generation, storage, transmission, and utilization of electric energy, and enhance the long-term stability of the energy resources and requirements of the state.

(2) Nothing contained herein is intended or shall be construed to limit or restrict the authority of the Idaho public utilities commission with respect to the regulation of electric corporations and public utilities pursuant to title 61, Idaho Code.
