Delaware HB390 revises Title 29 to modernize electronic bidding procedures for public works contracts. The bill allows agencies to use electronic bidding platforms for submissions, specifying that electronic-only bids do not require a public opening. It mandates that agencies award contracts within 30 days to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, or within 60 days for school districts, unless they opt for best value. The bill also details procedures for extending bid evaluation periods and handling nonresponsive or irresponsible bids.
