If enacted, this bill would amend current statutes by adding a new requirement for the Director of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) 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 introduces new language to the existing statutes, specifically by adding section 28-377 to title 28, chapter 2, article 3 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. This addition aims to enhance transparency in the bidding process for construction contracts managed by ADOT, ensuring that legislative leaders are informed about decisions made regarding contract awards.
