Under existing law, any expenditures for labor or services or the purchase of materials, equipment, or supplies by certain governmental entities, including, a county or municipality or an instrumentality of a county or municipality such as a waterworks board, are subject to the competitive bid law if the amount of the expenditures is $15,000 or more.
Under existing law, notwithstanding the competitive bid requirements, Section 41-16-52, Code of Alabama 1975, authorizes an exclusion from the competitive bid law for repair parts and repair of heavy duty off-highway construction equipment and all vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of 25,000 pounds or greater for expenditures of not more than $15,000 for each incident of repair by a county or municipality or instrumentalities of a county or municipality such as a water works board.
This bill would add an exemption from the competitive bid law for the expenditure of funds for repair parts or repair of heavy duty equipment or vehicles exceeding a gross weight of 25,000 pounds for parts or repairs obtained from a dealer or service center authorized by the manufacturer to sell the parts or make the repairs.
