Fair and Open Competition in Governmental Construction Act

The Fair and Open Competition in Governmental Construction Act governs how public entities solicit, award, and structure contracts for government-funded construction work, with the declared purpose of keeping such projects open to competition among qualified contractors. It operates by prohibiting specified conditions from being included in public construction contracts, barring the award of contracts on the basis of those conditions, and restricting how the same terms may appear in bid specifications, project agreements, and other solicitation documents. It also defines the projects and entities it reaches and allows for exemptions in defined circumstances.
