Counties: boards and commissions; requirement for competitive bidding by county road commissions on certain projects; modify. Amends sec. 10 of 1909 PA 283 (MCL 224.10).

SB 1028 updates Michigan law to require county road commissions to use competitive sealed bidding when purchasing machines, tools, and materials over $250,000, with an exception for emergency situations. The bill also mandates that these commissions create a plan to ensure minority business enterprises have equal opportunities to compete for contracts and purchases. Additionally, it adjusts the threshold for required competitive bidding annually based on the Detroit Consumer Price Index and allows commissions to finance property purchases through installment plans lasting up to 30 years. These changes directly affect county road commissions and the vendors they contract with for road maintenance projects.
