Relating to civil works projects and other construction projects of governmental entities.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 2581 would update procedures for awarding contracts for civil works and other construction projects by governmental entities. The provisions of this bill would require disclosure of scoring methods, clarify the criteria for awarding contracts, and improve transparency in order to promote competitive bidding for relevant contracts.
Texas Action supports HB 2581 as this bill encourages the government to be more transparent and financially responsible with taxpayer money.
