The proposed bill, S.B. 1290, mandates that the Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) must issue a quarterly report to the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This report is required to include each instance where the lowest responsible bidder was not chosen for a construction contract, along with the reasons for not selecting them.

The bill introduces new language to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically adding section 28-377 to title 28, chapter 2, article 3. The bill's purpose is to enhance transparency in the awarding of construction project contracts by ADOT. The bill will take effect on the general effective date.
