AZ HB2112

Amends Arizona procurement code sections 34-603 and 41-2578 to modify how professional services and construction services are procured by state agencies and other governmental entities.

Changes negotiation process for awarding contracts: requires simultaneous negotiations with the three highest-ranked firms rather than sequential negotiations, and allows procurement officers to "suspend" (rather than "terminate") negotiations and potentially recommence with previously suspended firms.

Clarifies grammar and terminology throughout, including changing "criteria" to "criterion" (singular) and "respond" to "responds" for grammatical consistency.

Updates request for qualifications requirements to specify that final lists will contain exactly three persons or firms when contracts are awarded under the alternative subsection F process.

Makes minor procedural clarifications regarding selection committee processes, documentation requirements, and public notice procedures for professional and construction service procurements.
