MINOR

This bill updates the threshold for small architectural, engineering, and land surveying contracts from $25,000 to $40,000, effective immediately for contracts signed after the bill's enactment. It also establishes a future mechanism to automatically adjust this threshold in 2027 based on inflation, ensuring the limit keeps pace with economic changes. Additionally, the bill clarifies the legal definition of the threshold amount to prevent ambiguity in future applications.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of contracts exempt from certain selection procedures by raising the fee limit from $25,000 to $40,000.

ELIGIBILITY

Raised the estimated fee threshold for small contracts from $25,000 to $40,000 for contracts entered into on or after the effective date of the bill and before January 1, 2027.

TIMELINE

Established a new rule effective January 1, 2027, where the threshold will automatically increase annually based on the Consumer Price Index-u to account for inflation.

DEFINITION

Added specific definitions for 'Consumer price index-u' and 'Maximum estimated basic professional services fee' to clarify how the threshold is calculated and applied.
