The bill establishes a contractor performance assessment system to be created and maintained by the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) on an accessible internet site. This system is intended for governmental entities to evaluate contractor performance on public improvement projects. The DAS is tasked with developing a performance grading system that will assess architects, engineers, and contractors based on various performance metrics, including timeliness of work, budget adherence, and the history of change orders.

Additionally, the bill amends Section 26.9 of the Code 2026 by allowing governmental entities to utilize the information from the contractor performance assessment system to determine the responsibility of bidders. This new provision aims to enhance the evaluation process for contractors bidding on public projects, ensuring that only qualified and reliable contractors are selected.
