Explanation

The amendment raises the annual revenue threshold to qualify as a “small contractor” from fifteen million dollars to twenty million dollars. The expansion is expected to lead to an increase in the number of vendors eligible to apply for certification and bidding. To the extent a small contractor is the lowest qualified bidder for a project that they otherwise would not have been eligible to bid on, there may be a savings to the state and municipalities in the form of lower project costs.
