Contracts for public improvements-prequalifying amount.

HB 256 would have raised the threshold for prequalifying contractors on public construction projects from $500,000 to $1,000,000. It directly affects cities, towns, and joint powers boards in Wyoming when awarding contracts exceeding $1 million. The bill allows these local governments to prequalify contractors based on criteria like project experience, financial strength, past performance, and proposed technical solutions. This change would have applied to all new bids let on or after July 1, 2019. The bill did not pass, as it died in committee in 2019.
