AN ACT TO PERMIT NEW HANOVER COUNTY TO PROVIDE PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATING CONTRACTORS BY ORDINANCE.

The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:

Section 1.  The Board of Commissioners of New Hanover County and the Wilmington City Council may, by ordinance, provide procedures for evaluating the work performed by construction contractors on County and City capital improvement projects and the Board of County Commissioners and the City Council may use the evaluations as a factor in determining qualifications of contractors to bid on County and City capital improvement projects.

If the ordinance provides that the evaluations are to be used to determine the qualified construction contractors, the ordinance shall provide for a public hearing at least 10 days prior to the formal request for proposals.
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
