HB 113 Summary

• Amends the definition of "past performance" in Hawaii's procurement code to include State, federal, or private contracts in assessing contractor responsibility for capital improvement projects.

• Requires procurement officers to mandate that all prospective offerors submit answers to a standard form questionnaire before contract award, covering compliance history, complaints, apprenticeship participation, and safety records.

• Specifies questionnaire must include five years of safety and health information, including written safety policies, OSHA 300 logs, contractor safety questionnaires, worker classification verification, and past performance statements with original/final project prices and violations.

• Requires offerors to submit the standard questionnaire annually to maintain "responsible" prequalification status for projects awarded by procurement offices.

• Makes questionnaire information available for public inspection and duplication under Hawaii's public records law (Chapter 92F), changing prior confidentiality restrictions.
