(a) A development authority shall comply with
IC 5-22 (public purchasing), IC 36-1-12 (public work projects), and
any applicable federal bidding statutes and regulations. An eligible
political subdivision that receives a loan, a grant, or other financial
assistance from a development authority or enters into a lease with a
development authority must comply with applicable federal, state, and
local public purchasing and bidding laws and regulations. However, a
purchasing agency (as defined in IC 5-22-2-25) of an eligible political
subdivision may:
(1) assign or sell a lease for property to a development authority;
or
(2) enter into a lease for property with a development authority;
at any price and under any other terms and conditions as may be
determined by the eligible political subdivision and the development
authority. However, before making an assignment or a sale of a lease
or entering into a lease under this section that would otherwise be
subject to IC 5-22, the eligible political subdivision or its purchasing
agent must obtain or cause to be obtained a purchase price for the
property to be subject to the lease from the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder in accordance with the requirements for the purchase
of supplies under IC 5-22.
(b) In addition to the provisions of subsection (a), with respect to
projects undertaken by a development authority, the development
authority shall set a goal for participation by minority business
enterprises and women's business enterprises. The goals must be
consistent with:
(1) the participation goals established by the counties and
municipalities that are members of the development authority;
and
(2) the goals of delivering the project on time and within the
budgeted amount and, insofar as possible, using Indiana
businesses for employees, goods, and services.
