FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the Department of Mental Health (DMH) stated that although the proposal will allow the DMH greater flexibility in creating Request for Proposals, the scope of procedures and responsibilities remain unchanged. Therefore, the DMH anticipates no fiscal impact.
Officials from the Office of Administration - Division of Purchasing and Materials Management stated they are unable to determine the long-range impact of allowing Chapter 34 bidding requirements to be waived for certain purchases made by the Department of Mental Health. Chapter 34 bidding requirements are intended to provide open and fair competition for state contracts and ensure that the state receives the "lowest and best" products and services.
