Introduced

SB 52 - Under this act, the commission is authorized to receive bids and bid bonds for any contract for construction, maintenance, repair, or improvement of any bridge or highway on the state highway system electronically via the Internet. At its discretion, the commission may elect to receive both electronic and paper bids, or the commission may specify electronic bidding exclusively for any proposed contract. The act establishes minimum criteria for the electronic bidding program.

The act authorizes the commission to accept an annual bid bond for state highways and transportation commission construction and maintenance projects. The commission shall prescribe the form and content of an annual bid bond pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Missouri standard specifications for highway construction.

This act is similar to SB 908 (2006).
