If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes by adding a new requirement for the Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). Specifically, it would insert a mandate for the Director to issue a quarterly report to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This report would detail each instance in which the lowest responsible bidder for a construction project contract was not selected, along with the reasons for not selecting that bidder.

The bill would not alter any existing provisions of the law but would enhance transparency in the bidding process for construction contracts by ensuring that lawmakers are informed about decisions made regarding bidder selection. This addition aims to provide accountability and clarity in the procurement process within the department.
