Almighty God our Heavenly Father, Who feeds the birds and clothes the flowers, and Who cares for us as a father His children, guard us against distrust and overanxiousness. Cause us to know that "God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present Help in trouble" (Psalms 46:1). Make us strong in the knowledge of Your sure presence always, and of Your undergirding support. Give worthy purposes to those who lead, make wise those who sit in counsel, and make pure the thoughts of all everywhere that peace may be exalted over war, service above gain, and righteousness above glory.
Favorable hear us in this our prayer offered in Your Holy Name.
Amen.

The Judiciary Committee proposed the following Amendment No. 1 (Doc. No. 0412X).
Amend the bill, as and if amended, by striking all after the enacting words and inserting:
/SECTION 1. Section 11-35-3020(2)(b) of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"(b) Bid Acceptance. In lieu of Section 11-35-1520(7), the following provisions shall apply. Bids shall must be accepted unconditionally without alteration or correction, except as otherwise authorized in this code. The using agency's invitation for bids shall set forth all requirements of the bid including but not limited to the following:
(1) Any bidder or offeror in response to an invitation for bids shall set forth in his bid or offer the name and the location of the place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or render service to the prime contractor to or about the construction, and who will specifically fabricate and install a portion of the work and whose contract will exceed two percent of the prime contractor's total base bid in an amount that exceeds the following percentages:
Prime contractor's total bid up
to three million dollars 2 1/2%
Prime contractor's total bid is
three million to five million dollars 2%
Prime contractor's total bid is
over five million dollars 1 1/2%.
If the prime contractor determines to use his own employees to perform any portion of the work for which he would otherwise be required to list a subcontractor, the prime contractor shall indicate this in his bid and not subcontract any of that work except with the approval of the using agency for good cause shown. For purposes of this subsection, approval must be granted where the contractor intends to purchase the materials to be used, but has decided after the bidding to contract for labor only, on a unit price basis, provided both of the following apply:
(a) At the time of the bid, the prime contractor had the capacity and intent to carry out the work with his own employees, and
(b) The prime contractor has performed such work with his own employees in the past.
(ii) Failure to list subcontractors in accordance with this section and any regulation which may be promulgated by the board shall render renders the prime contractor's bid unresponsive.
(iii) No prime contractor whose bid is accepted shall substitute any person as subcontractor in place of the subcontractor listed in the original bid, except with the consent of the awarding authority, for good cause shown for one or more of the following reasons:
(a) upon a showing made by the contractor to the using agency that a subcontractor who was listed appears not to be financially responsible;
(b) upon a showing by the contractor to the using agency that the scope of work bid by a listed subcontractor did not include a portion of the work required in the plans and specifications, and the exclusion is not clearly set forth in the listed subcontractor's original bid;
(c) upon a showing made by the contractor to the using agency within four working days of the bid opening that the subcontractor was listed as a result of an inadvertent clerical error;
(d) when the listed subcontractor fails or refuses to submit a performance and payment bond if it is requested by the prime contractor;
(e) when the listed subcontractor is required to be licensed by law and does not have the required license;
(f) when the listed subcontractor fails or refuses to perform his subcontract;
(g) when the listed subcontractor becomes bankrupt or insolvent provided that any necessary approval of the United States Bankruptcy Court be obtained before substitution;
(h) when the work of the listed subcontractor is found to be substantially unsatisfactory;
(i) upon mutual agreement of the contractor and subcontractor;
(j) with the consent of the using agency for good cause shown;
The request for substitution must be made to the using agency in writing. This statement does not give rise to any private right of action against the prime contractor in the absence of actual malice.
(iv) The using agency shall send all responsive bidders a copy of the bid tabulation within ten working days following the bid opening. Where substitution is allowed, the prime contractor must, before obtaining prices from any other subcontractor, attempt in good faith to negotiate a subcontract with at least one subcontractor whose bid was received prior to the submission of the prime contractor's bid.
Nothing in this section affects a contractor's ability to request withdrawal of a bid in accordance with the provisions of this code and the regulations promulgated under it.
(v) The using agency shall send all responsive bidders a copy of the bid tabulation within ten working days following the bid opening.
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor./
