                         BY TRANSPORTATION AND DEFENSE COMMITTEE

 1                                        AN ACT
 2    RELATING TO MILITARY AFFAIRS; AMENDING SECTION 46-714, IDAHO CODE, TO  PROVIDE

 9        46-714.  APPROVAL  OF  BOARD  OF EXAMINERS. No contract  in excess of
10    the threshold amount specified for the requirement for formal bids in  section

12    approval of the same shall be given by the board of examiners.

Statement of Purpose / Fiscal Impact

                       STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

                              RS08394

This proposal amends Idaho Code Section 46-714 to enable the
Military Division to let contracts for minor armory
construction and repair that are under the statutory threshold
for informal bids set out in Idaho Code Section 67-5711,
without requiring the approval of the Board of Examiners on
such small contracts. This will eliminate the need to obtain
the approval and signatures of the board of examiners on small
contracts, such as armory roof repair, that are for less than
the formal bidding threshold for other state agencies,
currently $30,000.




                           FISCAL IMPACT

This proposal will, if adopted, save the state the additional
administrative costs and overhead now expended in obtaining
the approval and signatures of all members of the Board of
Examiners for all armory repair contracts under $30,000. That
sum is difficult to determine, but it can be substantial,
especially if one counts the costs incurred by the Attorney
General to perform a legal review prior to his approval and
signature on all Military Division contracts under $30,000, as
is done now.
