Additional Comments:

This bill would allow the Georgia DOT to use the lowest bidder method to procure engineering services, eroding long-standing nationally accepted best practices and Qualifications-Based Selection (QBS) law that has existed for more than 35 years at the state level in Georgia. Although the measure passed the Senate, it never received consideration in the House and failed upon adjournment.
