Alabama SB115 exempts certain local awarding authorities from competitive bidding for vehicle repairs under $15,000.

Alabama SB115 modifies existing competitive bidding laws by exempting local awarding authorities from competitive bidding requirements for vehicle repairs costing less than $15,000. This exemption applies if the vehicle has a gross weight rating of 12,000 pounds or less, the repair cost does not exceed $15,000, and the awarding authority obtains price estimates from at least two vendors. The exemption applies to each vehicle repaired and does not aggregate with other expenditures. The bill defines "awarding authority" as county commissions, municipal governing bodies, or utility boards.
