Sec. 2-71u. Extension of personal service agreements; extension of contracts based on competitive negotiation. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 2-71u. Extension of personal service agreements; extension of contracts based on competitive negotiation. The committee may extend a personal service agreement, as defined in subsection (a) of section 2-71t, or a contract based on competitive negotiation, as defined in subsection (a) of section 2-71p, without complying with the requirements of said sections, if the committee finds that an extension is in the best interests of the state. Such finding shall be based on a written determination that: (1) Issuing a request for proposals would cause a hardship for the state; (2) issuing a request for proposals would result in a major increase in the cost of such service; (3) the contractor is the sole source for such service; (4) the expiring contract is for a specific project, rather than an ongoing need for a service, which is still in progress; or (5) the expiring contract is for no more than three years and a change in contractors would entail substantial cost or disruption. No agreement or contract may be extended more than one time under this section.
