Former law required the Department of General Services to prepare a prescribed evaluation with regard to this process, to be posted on the Department of Transportation's internet website. This bill would reenact those best value procurement provisions for heavy mobile fleet vehicles and special equipment, to be operative indefinitely. The bill would omit the $50,000,000 annual cap and the requirement for a prescribed evaluation as included in former law.
