ACTION NARRATIVE
8:04:08 AM
CHAIR BOB LYNN called the House State Affairs Standing Committee
meeting to order at 8:04 a.m. Representatives Gattis, Hughes,
Isaacson, Keller, Kreiss-Tomkins, and Lynn were present at the
call to order. Representative Millet arrived as the meeting was
in progress.
HB 130-JAY HAMMOND DAY
8:04:27 AM
CHAIR LYNN announced that the first order of business was HOUSE
BILL NO. 130, "An Act establishing July 21 each year as Jay
Hammond Day."
8:04:44 AM
REPRESENTATIVE PAUL SEATON, Alaska State Legislature, as
sponsor, presented HB 130. He began as follows:
Jay Hammond had an adventurous life and career as a
United States Marine Corps [fighter] pilot, a bush
pilot, homesteader, predator control agent, fisherman,
state legislature, borough mayor, borough manager, and
[serving] two terms as Alaska's governor in what could
be described as the ... era that formed modern Alaska.
From his conception of a Bristol Bay Incorporated
fund, as a way to share Bristol Bay Fisheries revenue
with local residents, to his leadership in creating
the Alaska Permanent Fund and Permanent Fund Dividend,
Jay Hammond had at [the] heart of his politics the
idea that Alaskans should embrace the ownership of
their lands, ... that they should hold the
conservation of their common resources in the highest
regard, and that they should take the long view,
looking generations ahead in their decision-making.
8:06:12 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON stated that Governor Hammond presided over
the state during a time of tremendous growth, including the
construction of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS), the
first development of Alaska's North Slope Oil resources, and the
creation of the Alaska Permanent Fund; he worked for a
diversified Alaskan economy by promoting healthy fisheries and
conservation of land and agriculture. Following his terms in
office, Governor Hammond consistently advocated for
conservation, protection of the Alaska Permanent Fund and its
dividend. Following his career in public office, Governor
Hammond continued his involvement in the following
organizations: the Alaska Humanities Forum, the North Pacific
Fisheries Convention Advisory Committee, the Alaska Land Use
Council, the Alaska Airmen's Association, Veterans of Foreign
Wars, and the National Rifle Association. Governor Hammond was
named Alaskan of the Year in 1994, was awarded the University of
Alaska metal, and HB 130 would name July 21, the date of his
birth, Jay Hammond Day, in honor of Governor Hammond's
contributions and legacy to the state.
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON reminded the committee that in 2012,
Governor Sean Parnell name July 21 of that year as Jay Hammond
Day; however, the governor is limited to naming a day after
someone for one year only. The proposed legislation would make
the distinction an annual event.
8:08:31 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON presented a slide show depicting Jay
Hammond, courtesy of the Alaska State Library. [A hard copy of
the images from the slide show is included in the committee
packet.]
8:11:49 AM
CHAIR LYNN shared that the first time he met Governor Hammond,
he and Governor Hickel were giving a presentation in Anchorage,
and he said he felt like he was watching living history. He
related a time at a grocery store when Governor Hammond
initiated a 20-minute conversation related to the affairs of the
state, and another time when he conversed with Governor Hammond
in a shopping mall. He characterized Governor Hammond as a
"very friendly fellow," said it was an honor to talk with him
those couple instances, and expressed happiness that HB 130 is
being introduced.
8:13:35 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HUGHES asked the bill sponsor what prompted him
to bring the bill forward.
8:13:45 AM
REPRESENTATIVE SEATON answered that Jim Reardon, a constituent
in Homer who worked with Governor Hammond, thought that Governor
Hammond's hand in molding the state and his connection with
issues still being addressed was important. Representative
Seaton said he thinks most people agree that the conversion of
the permanent fund into a permanent structure for future
generations was a good idea.
8:16:52 AM
ARLIS STURGULEWSKI testified that it was her privilege to serve
[as state Senator] in 1979, during Governor Hammond's last term,
which was the time TAPS was being completed and much wealth was
coming to the state. She relayed that she met Governor Hammond
through her friend, Lee McInerney (ph), who was appointed by
Governor Hammond as the head of the [former] Department of
Community and Regional Affairs. She said both Ms. MacInerny and
Governor Hammond had been mayors in Alaska communities and loved
rural and coastal Alaska. She said the influx of wealth in the
state took "a great deal of wisdom and humor" to set up
structures that made sense. She mentioned Hugh Malone, who
helped work on the Alaska Permanent Fund. Senator Sturgulewski
said Governor Hammond had common sense and charm, and some
people accused him of using "a maximum of doggerel." She said,
"He could cut to the heart of an issue with a quip and was able
to forge alliances with people of quite different views." She
emphasized her support of [HB 130].
8:20:38 AM
BILL HUDSON relayed that he served as director of the Alaska
Marine Highway System under Governor Hammond in 1974, and as
governor-appointed commissioner of the Department of
Administration during Governor Hammond's second term. He
indicated that during his seven terms as Representative in the
Alaska State Legislature House, he got to know Governor Hammond.
He talked about the support that Governor Hammond received from
his wife, Bella, and described the pair as "a couple of great
magnitude in the state of Alaska."
MR. HUDSON stated his belief that singling out someone to be
honored on a particular day in Alaska "has to be something
special." He suggested that Governor Hammond was unique in any
state of the Union, in that he was a frontiersman and a "simple
man with genius mind." Mr. Hudson recalled events during which
he heard Governor Hammond tell stories. He described
photographs of Governor Hammond: one in which he seemed to be
hanging from his heels in an upside-down airplane; another where
Governor Hammond was exiting one side of the cockpit of a plane
and a bear cub was exiting out the other side.
8:23:47 AM
MR. HUDSON said Governor Hammond loved Alaska so much that he
would never allow it to be harmed. He described him as a
conservationist, who believed that the natural assets of the
state could be used, provided they were paid for, cared for, and
left in as good or better condition as at the start. Mr. Hudson
said he heard lively discussions regarding how to distribute the
assets that would be gained after building the pipeline, with
suggestions ranging from giving Alaskans free air transportation
to free college education, and he offered his understanding that
it was Governor Hammond who suggested letting the people have
their share of the money and decide for themselves how they want
to use it.
MR. HUDSON stated that Governor Hammond loved the people of
Alaska. He said Governor Hammond often relayed a story of
landing his plane at the Wasilla airport, and the person who
came out to set the chocks looked at him and asked, "Didn't you
used to be somebody?" He said, "Jay always thought that ...
maybe was the height of his recognition because somebody thought
he 'used to be somebody.'" Mr. Hudson said Governor Hammond
loved all of the "far-flung" places in Alaska and to break bread
with people in the villages.
8:26:21 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HUDSON encouraged committee members to support
the proposed legislation. He stated that the highlight of his
over 30 years in government was his experience with Governor
Hammond, because he was such a unique individual.
8:27:32 AM
CHAIR LYNN said his impression of Governor Hammond, after short
exposure to him, was that he was a unique and memorable
individual.
8:27:49 AM
REPRESENTATIVE ISAACSON recollected a time he called Governor
Hammond, who spoke with him, even though he did not know him.
He suggested that the Permanent Fund Dividend program may have
disconnected Alaskans from "inventiveness." He said he is
curious if Governor Hammond would want to be memorialized in
this manner. He further questioned whether memorializing
Governor Hammond might prevent anyone from talking about the
pros and cons of his policies.
8:30:15 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HUDSON surmised that if Governor Hammond was
alive and someone approached him with the idea of memorializing
him, he would laugh, because he was a humble man. However, he
stated his belief that Governor Hammond's greatness was so
exceptional that it is perfect to set up a special day where,
hopefully, families can get together and eat lots of ice cream,
like Governor Hammond liked to do. He said this special day is
being set up for the people of Alaska, just like the day to
honor Ted Stevens was established.
8:32:16 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER thanked Mr. Hudson for his past service,
including a program he initiated called, "Kids Don't Float."
8:32:45 AM
CHAIR LYNN, after ascertaining that there was no one else who
wished to testify, closed public testimony.
8:33:00 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER moved to report HB 130 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, HB 130 was reported out of the
House State Affairs Standing Committee.
8:33:27 AM
The committee took an at-ease from 8:33 a.m. to 8:35 a.m.
SB 12-PUBLIC PROCUREMENT
8:35:55 AM
CHAIR LYNN announced that the final order of business was SENATE
BILL NO. 12, "An Act relating to state and public entity
procurement, including the State Procurement Code, procurement
preferences, contract awards, the use of small procurement
provisions for certain amounts of leased space, the Alaska
business license requirement for Alaska bidder and other
procurement preferences, the proof of registration of
construction contract bidders and offerors, the establishment
and maintenance of lists of persons who want to provide supplies
or services to the state, state agencies, and state
instrumentalities, electronic bids and proposals, the chief
procurement officer, small procurements, and writings; relating
to the meaning of 'Alaska bidder'; and providing for an
effective date."
8:36:01 AM
SENATOR ANNA FAIRCLOUGH, Alaska State Legislature, as sponsor,
presented SB 12. She indicated that this is the third attempt
to pass through this legislation through both bodies of the
Alaska State Legislature. She said SB 12 is an effort to
streamline Alaska's procurement code, by modifying small
procurement to provide opportunity for rural and urban Alaskans
alike to participate in leases in goods and services or
construction that the state has available. She said the
proposed legislation would clarify when an Alaska business
license is needed and "how that will be counted during the
procurement process." Senator Fairclough noted some of the
changes proposed under SB 12 [which are listed in the upcoming
Sectional Analysis].
8:38:32 AM
REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT expressed gratitude to the bill sponsor
for her third effort in proposing this legislation. She said
she thinks the whole process needs to be streamlined.
8:39:13 AM
REPRESENTATIVE HUGHES thanked the sponsor for her perseverance.
She expressed specific gratitude for the portion of SB 12 that
would allow veterans to use their status, as designated by the
Veterans Administration, thereby avoiding extra expense. She
directed attention to Section 19, on page 7, line [17], which
references a 15 percent preference for employment programs. She
noted that that is higher than "what we're seeing throughout,"
and she asked for an example of an employment program.
8:40:40 AM
VERN JONES, Chief Procurement Officer, Central Office, Division
of General Services, Department of Administration, in response
to Representative Hughes, explained that employment programs
used to be called "sheltered workshops" and refer to
organizations that employ developmentally disabled individuals.
He said the 15 percent preference is not a proposed change; that
is the amount currently in statute.
8:41:29 AM
LAURA PIERRE, Staff, Senator Anna Fairclough, Alaska State
Legislature, on behalf of Senator Fairclough, sponsor, presented
the sectional analysis for SB 12, beginning with Sections 1-13,
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
* Section 1: Amends AS 24.55.275
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 2: Amends AS 36.15.050(a)
Amends the local agricultural preference to grant a
seven percent cost preference to the qualifying bid
rather than to the low bid, making this preference
consistent with other procurement preferences.
* Section 3: Amends AS 36.15.050(b)
Amends the local fisheries preference to grant a seven
percent cost preference to the qualifying bid rather
than to the low bid, making this preference consistent
with other procurement preferences.
* Section 4: Amends AS 36.15.050 by adding a new
subsection (h)
Amends the local agricultural and fisheries
preferences to disallow a bidder from being granted
both a local agricultural/fisheries preference and an
Alaska product preference under another statute.
* Section 5: Amends AS 36.30.010
Amends the salary of the Chief Procurement Officer
from range 27 to range 25 due to changes made to the
position, which will no longer serve as Director of
the Division of General Services.
* Section 6: Amends AS 36.30.015(e)
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 7: Amends AS 36.30.015(f)
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 8: Amends AS 36.30.015(h)
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 9: Amends AS 36.30.020
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 10: Amends AS 36.30.030
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 11: Amends AS 36.30.080(f)
Increases the threshold limit for small procurements
of leased space from 3,000 square feet to 7,000 square
feet, consistent with section 18.
* Section 12: Amends AS 36.30.110(b)
Clarifies Alaska business license requirements for
competitive sealed bids and qualification for the
Alaska bidder preference. This change requires bidders
to show proof of their Alaska Business License prior
to award, but requires the license at the time of bid
submission in order to qualify for the Alaska bidder
preference.
* Section 13: Amends AS 36.30.130(a)
Eliminates reference to a procurement officer's use of
vendor lists, reflecting the repeal of the statute
establishing the vendor lists, consistent with section
33.
8:43:58 AM
CHAIR LYNN returned attention to Section [11, on page 5, lines
12-16], which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
*Sec. 11. AS 36.30.080(f) is amended to read:
(f) When the department is acquiring
leased space of 7,000 [3,000] square feet or less, the
department may procure the leased space using the
procedures for small procurements under AS 36.30.320,
providing public notice is given to prospective
offerors in the market area.
CHAIR LYNN asked for the rationale behind the increase from
3,000 to 7,000.
SENATOR FAIRCLOUGH responded that the state procurement code was
last modified between the late 1980s and early 1990s, which is
when the threshold amendments were set. She said she does not
know why the amount of 3,000 was originally chosen, but related
the 7000 mark and above is where the administration indicated it
has to "take a hard look." She said people in rural communities
were not offering lease spaces within the 3,000 to 7,000 square
foot range, because they did not want to go through the large
procurement process. Changing the number to 7,000 would allow
more people to place properties for rent to the State of Alaska
more easily.
8:45:04 AM
MS. PIERRE reiterated the changes that would be made in Section
13, then presented Sections 14-18 of the Sectional Analysis,
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
* Section 14: Amends AS 36.30.170 by repealing and
reenacting
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of the
Alaska bidder preference.
* Section 15: Amends AS 36.30.210(b)
Clarifies construction contractor registration
requirements, now explicitly requiring registration
before award of a contract.
* Section 16: Amends AS 36.30.210(e)
Clarifies Alaska business license requirements for
competitive sealed proposals and qualification for the
Alaska bidder preference using language consistent
with that used in section 12.
* Section 17: Amends AS 36.30 by adding a new section
36.30.290
Adds a new section allowing an agency to accept
electronic bids and proposals.
* Section 18: Amends AS 36.30.320(a)
Increases the threshold under which a state agency may
use informal procurement process to $100,000 for goods
and professional services, to $200,000 for
construction, and 7,000 square feet for lease of
space.
8:46:39 AM
REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT returned to Section 17 and asked what the
form of confirmation is for receiving an electronic bid.
8:47:17 AM
MR. JONES answered that statute does not dictate a form of
proof; however, the department is currently in the process of
developing an automated procurement system, called the
Integrated Resource Information System (IRIS), which will have
well-documented protocols in place.
REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT explained that she does not want the
State of Alaska to end up in a law suit because it did not
receive a facsimile or electronic transmission.
SENATOR FAIRCLOUGH presented Section 19 of the Sectional
Analysis, which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
* Section 19: Amends AS 36.30 by adding a new section
36.30.321
Adds a new section consolidating the Alaska bidder
preference, Alaska veterans' preference, and other
preferences formerly at AS 36.30.170(b). This section
also simplifies the qualification for the disability
and employment program preferences, eliminates the
seldom used employers of people with disabilities
preference, and excludes real estate leases from
application of procurement preferences.
8:48:50 AM
MS. PIERRE presented Sections 20-23 of the Sectional Analysis,
which read as follows [original punctuation provided]:
* Section 20: Amends AS 36.30.322(a)
Modifies the use of local forest products statute to
grant a seven percent cost preference to the
qualifying bid rather than to the low bid, making this
preference consistent with other preferences.
* Section 21: Amends AS 36.30.336 by repealing and
reenacting
Clarifies which preferences are cumulative and which
may not be combined. (example: bidders cannot claim
both an employment program preference and a disabled
bidder preference)
* Section 22: Amends AS 36.30.655
Eliminates reference to the removal of debarred or
suspended persons from vendor lists, reflecting the
repeal of the statute establishing the vendor lists,
consistent with section 33.
* Section 23: Amends AS 36.30.990 by adding a new
paragraph
Moves the definition for "Alaska bidder" (formerly
contained in 36.30.170(b)) and adds new definitions
for "in writing" and "written" to include information
in electronic form.
8:50:06 AM
REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT asked if a person who lapses from his/her
Alaska bidder's license is removed from the bidders' list.
SENATOR FAIRCLOUGH responded, "We're eliminating the bidders'
list."
8:50:28 AM
MS. PIERRE presented Sections 24-28 - the remainder of the
Sectional Analysis - which read as follows [original punctuation
provided]:
* Section 24: Amends AS 36.90.049(a)
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 25: Amends AS 38.35.017(a)
Updates a citation to reflect the renumbering of a
preference.
* Section 26: Repeals AS 36.30.050, which established
the vendor lists, repeals AS 36.30.175, which
established the veteran preference, because it has
been relocated to AS 36.30.321(f), repeals AS
36.30.250(b), because competitive sealed proposals
preference application language is now included in
section 19 (AS 36.30.321), and repeals AS 36.30.335
because language outlining application of certain
preferences is now included in section 21 (AS
36.30.336).
* Section 27: Amends the uncodified law of the State
of Alaska
Clarifies the application of this bill to pending
solicitations during the transition period.
* Section 28: Effective Date
This bill is effective immediately
MS. PIERRE, while addressing Section 27, offered her
understanding that "the legislation allows them to communicate
with the department and ... come to an agreement on whether they
would like to stick with what they signed as an original
contract before this bill goes into effect or have the option to
take advantage of some of the preferences under this."
8:52:06 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER, regarding the issue of preferences that
may or may not be cumulative, said he would like to "get a feel
for the kind of dynamics that are going on there."
8:52:44 AM
SENATOR FAIRCLOUGH noted that the University of Alaska, the
Alaska Municipal League (AML), and the Alaska State Chamber, and
others groups, are supportive of the changes in SB 12. She said
no one has testified or contacted her office in opposition to SB
12. She relayed that in the first year, she carried the bill,
she tried to eliminate an "offers preference," which existed in
regulation, and there was public outcry against that
elimination. She said she still believes it should be
eliminated, but it has not been included in "this package." She
continued as follows:
The only other person who has contacted us saying
anything negative about anything contained in all six
years had to do with the lease space rental, where the
administration advised us that the employers of people
with disabilities credit was being used differently
than the legislature had intended, and that only one
or two people were benefiting inside a family
environment versus what ... the legislature had
actually hoped to accomplish, and that was employing
many people with disabilities.
SENATOR FAIRCLOUGH deferred to Mr. Jones to discuss how credit
can be combined, how that may have been a challenge in the past,
and how the intent of the proposed legislation is to explicitly
outline this issue in statute.
8:54:29 AM
MR. JONES said the proposed legislation clarifies that
preferences cannot be duplicated. For example, a fisheries or
agricultural product preference and an Alaska product preference
cannot be duplicated, because "those two preferences are
intended to benefit the same group of products."
CHAIR LYNN said, "So, you choose your preferences."
MR. JONES said that is correct.
8:55:26 AM
CHAIR LYNN, after ascertaining there was no one else who wished
to testify, closed public testimony.
8:55:41 AM
REPRESENTATIVE MILLETT said SB 12 is "five years in coming," and
she cannot wait to pass it.
8:55:50 AM
REPRESENTATIVE ISAACSON indicated support of the proposed
legislation. He recollected working in municipal government in
the past, and trying to effect changes in the procurement codes.
He indicated that the proposed legislation would "peel back"
state overreach and provide more opportunity for Alaskans. He
spoke of the help "our constitution" gives in creating balances,
which make market economics work, and he said he thinks the
proposed legislation "goes into that line of thinking" by
"equalizing things so that Alaskans have opportunity."
8:57:23 AM
REPRESENTATIVE GATTIS stated, "This is one of the reasons that
we came to Juneau, to make less legislation and make it better."
She stated her support of SB 12. She said many of her
constituents are veterans, and she referred to the language in
the bill, previously mentioned by [Representative Hughes], which
addresses veterans.
8:58:17 AM
REPRESENTATIVE KELLER moved to report SB 12 out of committee
with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal
notes. There being no objection, SB 12 was reported out of the
House State Affairs Standing Committee.
8:59:09 AM
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business before the committee, the House
State Affairs Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 8:59
