A bill for an act creating a contractor performance assessment system.

HF 2400 requires Iowa's Department of Administrative Services to create and maintain an online contractor performance assessment system for public improvement projects. The system will grade architects, engineers, and contractors based on three specific metrics: whether work was completed on time, if costs stayed within budget, and the history of change orders. Governmental entities will use this publicly accessible system to evaluate if potential bidders are "responsible" for future public contracts. This bill directly affects contractors working on state-funded projects by establishing a standardized way to assess their performance.
