Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) When space is leased through competitive bidding, the commission shall determine the bid that provides the best value for the state after considering moving costs, the cost of time lost in moving, the cost of telecommunications services, and other relevant factors.
(b) The commission shall send to the leasing state agency:
(1) a copy of all bids received; and
(2) the commission's recommended award.
(c) If, after review of the bids and evaluation of all relevant factors, the leasing state agency's opinion is that the bid selected by the commission is not the bid that provides the best value for the state, it may file with the commission a written recommendation that the award be made to a bidder other than the commission's recommended bidder. The leasing state agency's recommendation must contain the agency's justification for its recommendation and a complete explanation of all factors it considered.

(e) If the commission and the leasing state agency do not agree within 30 days, all bids and pertinent documents shall be sent to the governor. The governor shall designate the bidder to which the award shall be made.
