Change provisions related to contracts entered into by and bidding requirements and exceptions for joint entities and public power districts

Summary

The bill requires joint entities and power districts to obtain engineer cost estimates before signing construction or purchase contracts and to advertise sealed‑bid solicitations for projects above set dollar thresholds. It creates limited exemptions—such as for radioactive material, unique equipment, or emergency repairs—if an engineer certifies the need, a two‑thirds board vote approves, and public notice is given. The law also streamlines purchases of original‑manufacturer parts and used equipment with engineer certification and mandatory public notices.
