Description

This second edition of Contracting for Services and products in State and Local Government Agencies provides cutting-edge tools for best practice in the procurement of Services and products at state and local levels, from initial stages through to completion. Including lively case studies and research conducted with state and local agencies across the US, this book provides management advice and tips on compliance to reduce costs, select the most efficient-qualified contractors, manage contractors’ performance, and prevent corruption and waste.

Utilizing the result of new research in all fifty states, creator William Sims Curry offers up to date best-practice documents, methodologies, and templates including: a Request for Proposal (RFP), a scorecard for proposals to choose the most efficient-qualified contractor, a toolkit for meeting socioeconomic contracting goals without compromising price, quality, or on-time delivery, and a Model Services and products Contract (MSC). Special consideration is given to obtaining Services and products and products in states of emergency.  Several additional resources for practitioners are to be had online, including sample contracts and a straightforward, inexpensive tool for tracking contractors’ progress and cost management.

The roadmap and templates contained in this book and to be had online to readers will prove essential to state and local government agency contracting professionals and other officials and employees called upon to take part in the drafting of solicitations, writing sole source justifications, writing scopes of work, serving on advance contract planning and source selection teams, recommending award of contracts, or assisting in the management of those contracts.
