GENERAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Subchapter C. PURCHASING PROCEDURES
1 TAC §71.51
The Office of the Secretary of State proposes new §71.51,
concerning historically underutilized businesses. The rule is proposed to
comply with Texas Government Code, §2161.003, which requires state agencies
to adopt the rules of the Building and Procurement Commission (formerly General
Services Commission) relating to the Historically Underutilized Business (HUB)
Certification Program.
Proposed new §71.51 adopts by reference the rules of the Building
and Procurement Commission, Title 1 Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 111,
Subchapter B, §§111.11 - 111.28, relating to the historically underutilized
business certification program, and promotes full and equal business opportunity
for all businesses in state contracting. The Secretary of State will continue
to rely upon the Building and Procurement Commission to determine if a business
is certified as a HUB.
Mary Jon Urban, Purchasing Manager, has determined that for the first five-year
period the proposed rule is in effect there will be no fiscal implications
for state or local government.
Ms. Urban also has determined that for each year of the first five years
the rule is in effect the public benefit anticipated as a result of enforcing
the rule will be the Secretary of State's continued compliance with Government
Code §2161.002. There will be no cost to small business. There is no
anticipated economic costs to persons who are required to comply with the
rule.
Comments on the proposal may be submitted in writing, no later than 30
days after the date of publication of this notice to Mary Jon Urban, Section
Manager, Purchasing Section, Office of the Secretary of State, P.O. Box 12887,
Austin, Texas 78701, e-mail mjurban@sos.state.tx.us.

the Texas Building and Procurement Commission in 1 Texas Administrative Code,
Chapter 111, Subchapter B, §§111.11 - 111.28 (relating to Historically

procedures for formal protest by a vendor and dispute resolution. There will
be no effect on small businesses. There are no anticipated economic costs
to persons who are required to comply with the rule as proposed.

1 TAC §§71.81, 71.83, 71.85, 71.87, 71.91, 71.93, 71.95, 71.97, 71.99, 71.101, 71.103, 71.105, 71.107, 71.111, 71.113, 71.115, 71.117, 71.119, 71.121, 71.123, 71.125
The Office of the Secretary of State proposes new §§71.81,
71.83, 71.85, 71.87, 71.91, 71.93, 71.95, 71.97, 71.99, 71.101, 71.103, 71.105,
71.107, 71.111, 71.113, 71.115, 71.117, 71.119,71, 121, 71.123, and 71.125
relating to procedures for the negotiation and mediation of certain breach
of contract claims asserted by contractors against the State of Texas pursuant
to Section 9 of House Bill 826, 76th Legislature, Chapter 68 (1999) (codified
at Government Code, Chapter 2260).
With the enactment of Chapter 2260, the legislature has established a new
administrative process by which a contractor who enters into a written contract
with a unit of state government for goods, services or projects, may pursue
a breach of contract claim for damages. Chapter 2260 requires a contractor
who asserts a breach of contract claim and the contracting unit of state government
to attempt to resolve the contractor's claim and any counterclaim through
negotiation, and authorizes, but does not require, the parties to mediate
their dispute. If the contractor's claim is not resolved in its entirety within
the statutory time frame, the contractor may request a contested case hearing
before the State Office of Administrative Hearings ("SOAH"). Chapter 2260
authorizes the SOAH administrative law judge to render a non-appealable decision
ordering the unit of state government to pay damages up to $250,000. If the
contractor's claim exceeds $250,000, Chapter 2260 requires the administrative
law judge to issue a written report of his or her findings to the legislature,
recommending that the legislature either appropriate money to pay all or part
of a valid claim or deny such appropriation and withhold consent to sue.
Section 2260.052(c) requires that units of state government with rulemaking
authority adopt rules to establish negotiation and mediation provisions. The
proposed rules provide such a process.
Section 71.81 states that this Subchapter E governs the negotiation and
mediation of claims of breach of contract asserted by a contractor against
a unit of state government. Section 71.83 defines terms as they relate to
this chapter. Section 71.85 provides that the procedures in Subchapter E are
prerequisites to filing suit under Civil Practice and Remedies Code, Chapter
107 and Government Code, Chapter 2260. Section 71.7 advises that the state
has not waived sovereign immunity to suit or to liability.
Section 71.91 sets out the requirements and procedures of the notice of
claim of breach of contract that contractor must assert. Section 71.93 sets
out the requirements and procedures of the counterclaim that the unit of state
government must assert. Section 71.95 announces that the parties must negotiate
to settle the dispute. Section 71.97 provides a timetable as it relates the
negotiations between the contractor and the unit of state government. Section
71.99 describes how the parties may conduct the negotiation. Section 71.101
addresses the parties' settlement approval procedures. Section 71.103 announces
the requirements of any resulting settlement agreement. Section 71.105 states
how the parties shall handle the costs of negotiations. In the event that
the breach of contract claim is not resolved in its entirety. Section 71.107
specifies the process by which a contractor may seek resolution of the dispute
by SOAH.
Section 71.111 sets the parameters for mediation by a neutral third party
of breach of contract claims and counterclaims. Section 71.113 discusses the
qualifications, immunities, and duties of a mediator. Section 71.115 pertains
to the confidentiality of a mediation and any resulting final settlement agreement.
Section 71.117 states how the parties shall handle the costs of mediation.
Section 71.119 addresses the parties' settlement approval procedures. Section
71.121 details the handling of any resulting settlement agreement. Section
71.123 states that a final settlement agreement must comply with the provisions
of §71.103 of this subchapter. Section 71.125 provides that if mediation
does not resolve the dispute the contractor may request that the claim be
referred to SOAH in accordance with §71.107 of this subchapter.
Jim Beck, Division Director, Administrative Services Division, has determined
that for each year of the first five years that the proposed rules are in
effect:
A. the additional estimated cost to the state or to local governments as
a result of enforcing or administering the rules will be zero because the
rules impose no additional burden on anyone;
B. the estimated reductions in costs to the state or to local governments
as a result of enforcing or administering the rules will be zero because the
rules impose no additional burden on anyone;
C. the estimated loss or increase in revenue to the state or to local governments
as a result of enforcing or administering the rules will be zero because the
rules impose no additional burden on anyone.
Mr. Beck has also determined that for each year of the first five years
that the proposed rules are in effect, the benefit to the public will be the
more timely and efficient resolution of contract disputes between contractors
and units of state government. The legislature by enacting Chapter 2260 has
determined that such process, with the potential to recover monetary damages
for proven contractual breaches, is of public benefit.
The proposed rules will have no adverse economic effect on small or large
businesses and/or persons that contract with the state. In the past, sovereign
immunity prevented breach of contract claims against the state and the only
process available to the public for resolution of such a claim was to seek
and obtain legislative consent to sue. Chapter 2260 and these proposed rules
will provide a process by which claims for breach of contract and counterclaims
can be asserted and resolved.
The negotiation provisions themselves will impose no economic cost to persons
required to comply with the proposed rules because they do not require the
use of any particular negotiation mode or method. The proposed rules require
only that the parties negotiate to resolve their dispute, and the mode or
method of negotiation can be as simple or as complex as the parties decide.
The proposed rules specify that absent an agreement to the contrary, the parties
are responsible for costs they individually incur in a negotiation or other
alternative dispute resolution process.
Similarly, the mediation provisions themselves will impose no economic
cost to persons required to comply with the proposed rules unless the parties
choose to mediate. If the parties do so, the rules specify that, absent an
agreement to the contrary, the parties will share the costs of the mediator
and each will be responsible for whatever additional costs they decide to
incur for items such as document reproduction, attorneys' fees, experts' fees
and consultants' fees.
The Office of the Secretary of State requests comments on the proposed
rules from any interested person. Comments may be submitted, in writing, no
later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice to Dan Procter,
Section Director, Texas Register Section, P.O. Box 13824, Austin, Texas 78711-3824,
