Public works contracts; exemption established for purchases made through cooperative purchasing agreements, requirements for certain public contracts to comply with applicable state or local competitive bid laws provided

This bill would change current law regarding public works contracts in Alabama. It would allow government entities to buy materials or equipment through a cooperative purchasing agreement, even if those items are part of a larger public works contract that would normally require sealed bids. This means some purchases for public projects could be made without the usual competitive bidding process.
