Lawmakers OK Bill to Keep Government Contracts Local CHERYL ARCHIBALD Review Staff . SALT LAKE CITY Money was approved by the legislature recently that will aid in keeping government contracts with local businesses. In the special legislative session in June, Senate Bill 4, a $5 million appropriations bill, was passed that will spread $1 million over the next two years to aid local businesses in winning government contracts. Rep. Scott Holt, has worked with the Davis County Private Industry Council, trying to gain contracts from Hill Air Force Base for local businesses. One piece of legislation he sponsored was vetoed in February, he says. However, since Gov. Norm Bangerter needed an economic development plan - he needed something he could hang his hat on- - Holts proposals were accepted and the money was appropriated in the last special session to help small businesses. Eight million dollars in contracts from Hill Air Force were awarded last year, Holt says. Of that, only 4.2 percent of the contracts stayed inside Utah. The average percent of government contracts awarded to individual states industries is 17. That means $350 million of procurements are lost to Utah. We would get that if we met the other states averages, Holt says. The three plans he hopes to see implemented with the million dollars are: - Setting up a procurement office, a type of clearing house to gather information on all government contracts available. Contractors statewide could come to the office to shop for the contracts. Not only would information concerning in state and out of state contracts be available in a master list, specifications required in the contracts would be -- listed. Help would be given to contractors in bidding procedures. Most people are so scared, they dont know what theyre doing, they dont even bid for the contracts, Holt says. There is so much red tape. Someone would help small businessmen, explaining bid procedures and aiding them in presenting their bid packages. Inventories would also be kept of capable bidders to match with the contracts offered, Holt explains. The procurement office should Davis County commissioners voted to open the countys 1985 budget to tal spent by the county on computers in the last five years $3 million.

'Vf-- City. - The second thing would be to contact big government procurers in and outside of Utah to see what subcontracts are being let out. And he would like to persuade firms from outside of Utah to relocate in the state. The information retrieving system at the procurement office would be one way of enticing them. The Davis PIC has helped the process come along, says Richard Nelson, Davis County Human Services director. He would like to see the county help in getting more procurements for small local businesses. The key is information, he says. First you have to find out yvhat the government wants, what specifications and when contracts are coming up and whos doing them. Then you have to have a knowledge of the businesses what they can do - and then match those two up. -- County Will Buy Computer CHERYL ARCHIBALD ts four-poi- 479-304- 6. contained in flyers to be distributed to all residents by July 15.
