Alabama SB14 modifies the procedures for public works contracts, allowing exemptions from sealed bid requirements for certain purchases. Specifically, it exempts the purchase and installation of heating or air conditioning units or systems by local boards of education and certain public procurement units from the sealed bid process. The bill also allows for contracts for road construction or maintenance projects under $250,000 to be awarded without advertising for sealed bids, provided the project is listed on the Department of Transportation's website for at least seven days.
