FISCAL ANALYSIS

ASSUMPTION

Officials of the Office of Administration (OA) assume this proposal would not fiscally impact their agency. Oversight assumes that dividing projects into multiple parts and allowing smaller contracts may affect the total cost of the project. However, Oversight also assumes that OA would examine the costs under both methods of contracting to determine the most efficient method.

FISCAL IMPACT - Small Business

This proposal may affect small businesses as it may increase the number of businesses capable of bidding on smaller contracts.



DESCRIPTION

This proposal allows the Office of Administration to divide projects into multiple parts and to separately contract each part if the Director determines that multiple contracts are necessary given the comparable costs, the time constraints, and the type of work involved. The Director's determination must be in writing and incorporated in the contract file.

This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program, and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
