comply with the provisions of ORS 192.410 to 192.505. + }
  SECTION 4.  { + (1) Each public body shall make available for
public inspection and copying all public records, unless the
record falls within a specific exemption set forth in law that
exempts or prohibits disclosure of specific information or
records. To the extent required to prevent an unreasonable
invasion of personal privacy interests protected under ORS
192.410 to 192.505, a public body shall delete identifying
details in a manner consistent with ORS 192.410 to 192.505 when
the public body makes available or publishes any public record.
In each case in which a public body deletes identifying details
under this section, the justification for the deletion shall be
explained fully in writing.
  (2) Each public body shall maintain and make available for
public inspection and copying a current index providing

to any regulatory, supervisory or enforcement responsibilities of
the agency, whereby the agency determines or opines upon, or is
asked to determine or opine upon, the rights of the state, the
public, a subdivision of state government or of any private
party.
  (3) A local government or local service district, as defined in
ORS 174.116, need not maintain an index described in subsection
(2) of this section if to do so would be unduly burdensome, but
shall in that event:
  (a) Issue and publish a formal order specifying the reasons why
and the extent to which compliance would unduly burden or
interfere with agency operations; and
  (b) Make available for public inspection and copying all
indexes maintained for agency use.
  (4) Each public body shall establish, maintain and make
available for public inspection and copying a statement of the
actual per page cost or other costs, if any, that the public body
charges for providing copies of public records and a statement of
the factors and manner used to determine the actual per page cost
or other costs, if any.
  (5)(a) In determining the actual per page cost for providing
copies of public records, a public body may include all costs
directly incident to copying the public records, including the
actual cost of the paper and the per page cost for use of copying
equipment. In determining other actual costs for providing copies
of public records, a public body may include all costs directly
incident to shipping the public records, including the cost of
postage or delivery charges and the cost of any container or
envelope used.
  (b) In determining the actual per page cost or other costs for
providing copies of public records, a public body may not include
staff salaries, benefits or other general administrative or
overhead charges unless those costs are directly related to the
actual cost of copying the public records. Staff time to copy and
mail the requested public records may be included in a public
body's costs.
  (6) A public body need not calculate the actual per page cost
or other costs of providing photocopies of public records if to
do so would be unduly burdensome, but in that event the public
body may not charge in excess of 15 cents per page for
photocopies of public records or for the use of public body
equipment to photocopy public records, and the actual postage or
delivery charge and the cost of any container or envelope used to
mail the public records to the requester. + }
  SECTION 5.  { + (1) Public records must be available for
inspection and copying, and public bodies shall, upon request for
identifiable public records, make them promptly available to any
person, including, if applicable, on a partial or installment
basis, as records that are part of a larger set of requested
records are assembled or made ready for inspection or disclosure.
A public body may not deny a request for identifiable public
records solely on the basis that the request is overbroad. A
public body may not distinguish among persons requesting records,
and any person requesting records may not be required to provide
information as to the purpose for the request except to establish
whether inspection and copying would violate any law that exempts
or prohibits disclosure of specific information or records to
certain persons. Facilities shall be made available to any person
for the copying of public records except when and to the extent
that this would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the public
body.
  (2) Public records must be available for inspection and copying
during the customary office hours of the public body for a
minimum of 30 hours per week, except weeks that include state
legal holidays, unless the person making the request and the
public body or its representative agree on a different time.
Customary business hours must be posted on the public body's
website and made known by other means designed to provide the
public with notice.
  (3) A state agency may adopt rules to protect public records
from damage or disorganization and to prevent excessive
interference with other essential functions of the agency. The
rules must provide for the fullest assistance to requesters and
the most timely possible action on requests for information. + }
  SECTION 6.  { + (1) A fee may not be charged for the inspection
of public records. A fee may not be charged for locating public
documents and making them available for copying. A reasonable
charge may be imposed for providing copies of public records and
for the use by any person of public body equipment to copy public
records.
  (2) A charge that is allowable under this section may not
exceed the amount necessary to reimburse the public body for the
actual costs directly incident to the copying of public records.
State agency charges for copies shall be imposed in accordance
with the actual per page cost or other costs established and
published by the agency. An agency may not charge a per page cost
greater than the actual per page cost as established and
published by the agency. To the extent the agency has not
determined the actual per page cost for photocopies of public
records, the agency may not charge in excess of 15 cents per
page.
  (3) A state agency may require a deposit in an amount not to
exceed 10 percent of the estimated cost of providing copies for a
request. If an agency makes a request available on a partial or
installment basis, the agency may charge for each part of the
request as it is provided. If an installment of a records request
is not claimed or reviewed, the agency is not obligated to
fulfill the balance of the request. + }
  SECTION 7.  { + (1) Responses to requests for public records
shall be made promptly by public bodies. Within five business
days of receiving a public record request, a public body must
respond by:
  (a) Providing the record;
  (b) Providing an Internet address and link to the public body's
website where the specific records requested are located, except
that if the requester notifies the public body that the requester
cannot access the records through the Internet, then the public
body must provide copies of the record or allow the requester to
view copies using a public body computer;
  (c) Acknowledging that the public body has received the request
and providing a reasonable estimate of the time the public body
will require to respond to the request; or
  (d) Denying the public record request.
  (2) Additional time required to respond to a request may be
based upon the need to clarify the intent of the request, to
locate and assemble the information requested, to notify third
persons or agencies affected by the request or to determine
whether any of the information requested is exempt and that a
denial should be made as to all or part of the request. In
acknowledging receipt of a public record request that is unclear,
the public body may ask the requester to clarify what information
the requester is seeking. If the requester fails to clarify the
request, the public body need not respond to it.
  (3) Denials of requests must be accompanied by a written
statement of the specific reasons therefor. Public bodies shall
establish mechanisms for the most prompt possible review of
decisions denying inspection, and such review shall be deemed
completed at the end of the second business day following the
denial of inspection and shall constitute final action for the
purposes of judicial review. + }
  SECTION 8.  { + Whenever a public body concludes that a public
record is exempt from disclosure and denies a person the
opportunity to inspect or copy a public record for that reason,
the person may request the Attorney General to review the matter.
The Attorney General shall provide the person with a written
opinion on whether the record is exempt. + }
  SECTION 9.  { + The examination of any specific public record
may be enjoined if, upon motion and affidavit by a public body or
its representative or a person who is named in the record or to
whom the record specifically pertains, the circuit court for the
county in which the movant resides or in which the record is
maintained finds that such examination would clearly not be in
the public interest and would substantially and irreparably
damage any person, or would substantially and irreparably damage
vital governmental functions. A public body has the option of
notifying persons named in the record, or to whom a record
specifically pertains, that release of a record has been
requested. However, this option does not exist where the public
body is required by law to provide such notice. + }
  SECTION 10.  { + (1) Upon the motion of any person having been
denied an opportunity to inspect or copy a public record by a
public body, the circuit court in the county in which a record is
maintained may require the responsible public body to show cause
as to why the public body has refused to allow inspection or
copying of a specific public record or class of records. The
burden of proof shall be on the public body to establish that
refusal to permit public inspection and copying is in accordance
with a provision of law that exempts or prohibits disclosure in
whole or in part of specific information or records.
  (2) Upon the motion of any person who believes that a public
body has not made a reasonable estimate of the time that the
public body requires to respond to a public record request, the
circuit court in the county in which a record is maintained may
require the responsible public body to show that the estimate
provided is reasonable. The burden of proof shall be on the
public body to show that the estimate provided is reasonable.
  (3) Judicial review of all public body actions taken or
challenged shall be de novo. Courts shall take into account the
policy of ORS 192.410 to 192.505 that free and open examination
of public records is in the public interest, even though such
examination may cause inconvenience or embarrassment to public
officials or others. Courts may examine any record in camera in
any proceeding brought under this section. The court may conduct
a hearing based solely on affidavits.
  (4) Any person who prevails against a public body in any action
in the courts seeking the right to inspect or copy any public
record or the right to receive a response to a public record
request within a reasonable amount of time shall be awarded all
costs, including reasonable attorney fees, incurred in connection
with such legal action.
  (5) Actions under this section must be filed within one year of
the agency's claim of exemption or the last production of a
record on a partial or installment basis. + }

the hearing on an application for discharge or modification of an
order of conditional release shall be made to the Attorney
General. The applicant, at the hearing pursuant to this
subsection, must prove by a preponderance of the evidence the
applicant's fitness for discharge or modification of the order of
conditional release. Applications by the person for discharge or
modification of conditional release may not be filed more often
than once every six months.

  (5)(a) The contracting agency shall open bids publicly at the
time, date and place designated in the invitation to bid. When
authorized by, and in accordance with, rules adopted under ORS
279A.065, bids may be submitted, received and opened through
electronic means.
  (b) The contracting agency shall record the amount of a bid,
the name of the bidder and other relevant information specified
by rule adopted under ORS 279A.065. The record shall be open to
public inspection.
  (c) Notwithstanding a requirement to make bids open to public
inspection after the contracting agency issues notice of intent
to award a contract, a contracting agency may withhold from
disclosure to the public trade secrets  { - , as defined in ORS
192.501, and - }   { + or other + } information   { - submitted
to a public body in confidence, as described in ORS 192.502, that
are - }   { + that is + } contained in a bid  { + submitted to a
public body and exempt from disclosure under sections 12 to 24 of
this 2013 Act + }.
  (6)(a) The contracting agency shall evaluate all bids that are
received before the time and date indicated for bid opening in
the invitation to bid. The contracting agency shall evaluate the
bids based on the requirements set forth in the invitation to
bid.  The requirements may include, in addition to the
information described in subsection (2) of this section, criteria
to determine minimum acceptability, such as inspection, testing,
quality and suitability for intended use or purpose. Criteria
that will affect the bid price and will be considered in
evaluation for award including, but not limited to, discounts,
transportation costs and total costs of ownership or operation of
a product over the life of the product must be objectively
measurable. The invitation to bid must set forth the evaluation
criteria to be used. No criteria may be used in a bid evaluation
that are not set forth in the invitation to bid or in a qualified
products list maintained under ORS 279B.115. The contracting
agency may not consider for award bids received after the time
and date indicated for bid opening in the invitation to bid. The
contracting agency may retain bids or copies of bids received
after the bid time and date indicated in the invitation to bid.
  (b) The contracting agency shall, for the purpose of evaluating
bids, apply any applicable preference described in ORS 279A.120,
279A.125 or 282.210.
  (7) Rules adopted under ORS 279A.065 must provide for and
regulate the correction and withdrawal of bids before and after
bid opening and the cancellation of awards or contracts based on
bid mistakes. After bid opening, changes in bids prejudicial to
the interests of the public or fair competition are not
permitted.  A contracting agency that permits a bidder to correct
or withdraw a bid or that cancels an award or a contract based on
bid mistakes, shall support the decision with a written
determination that states the reasons for the action taken.
  (8) The cancellation of invitations to bid and the rejection of
bids must be in accordance with ORS 279B.100.
  (9) The contracting agency shall, in accordance with ORS
279B.135, issue to each bidder or shall post, electronically or
otherwise, a notice of intent to award.
  (10) If a contracting agency awards a contract, the contracting
agency shall award the contract:
  (a) To the lowest responsible bidder whose bid substantially
complies with the requirements and criteria set forth in the
invitation to bid and with all prescribed public procurement
procedures and requirements; or
  (b) If the invitation to bid specifies or authorizes the award
of multiple contracts, to the responsible bidders:
  (A) Whose bids substantially comply with the requirements and
criteria set forth in the invitation to bid and with all
prescribed public procurement procedures and requirements; and
  (B) Who qualify for the award of a public contract under the
terms of the invitation to bid.
  (11) The successful bidder shall promptly execute a contract.
The successful bidder's duty to promptly execute a contract
includes the duty to take all action that is necessary to form a
contract in accordance with the invitation to bid, including
posting performance security, submitting proof of insurance when
the invitation to bid requires the submission and agreeing to
perform the scope of work and meet the performance standards set
forth in the invitation to bid.
  (12) If a contracting agency determines that preparing a
procurement description to support an award based on price is
impractical, the contracting agency may issue a multistep
invitation to bid that requests bidders to submit unpriced
submittals, and then later issue an invitation to bid limited to
the bidders that the contracting agency officer has determined
are eligible to submit a priced bid under the criteria set forth
in the initial solicitation of unpriced submittals.
  (13) The contracting agency may issue a request for
information, a request for interest or other preliminary
documents to obtain information useful in preparing an invitation
to bid.
  SECTION 52. ORS 279B.060 is amended to read:
  279B.060. (1) A contracting agency may solicit and award a
public contract for goods or services, or may award multiple
public contracts for goods or services when specified in the
request for proposals, by requesting and evaluating competitive
sealed proposals.
  (2) The request for proposals must:
  (a) Specify a time and date by which sealed proposals must be
received, and a place at which the proposals must be submitted.
The contracting agency, in the contracting agency's sole
discretion, may receive proposals by electronic means or may
direct or permit proposers to submit proposals by electronic
means.
  (b) Specify the name and title of the person designated to
receive proposals and the person the contracting agency
designates as the contact person for the procurement, if
different.
  (c) Describe the procurement. In the description, the
contracting agency shall identify the scope of work included
within the procurement, outline the contractor's anticipated
duties and set expectations for the contractor's performance.
Unless the contractor is providing architectural, engineering,
photogrammetric mapping, transportation planning or land
surveying services or related services, as defined in ORS
279C.100, or unless the contracting agency for good cause
specifies otherwise, the scope of work shall require the
contractor to meet the highest standards prevalent in the
industry or business most closely involved in providing the
appropriate goods or services.
  (d) Specify a time, date and place for prequalification
applications, if any, to be filed and the classes of work, if
any, for which proposers must be prequalified in accordance with
ORS 279B.120.
  (e) State that the contracting agency may cancel the
procurement or reject any or all proposals in accordance with ORS
279B.100.
  (f) State that 'Contractors shall use recyclable products to
the maximum extent economically feasible in the performance of
the contract work set forth in this document.' if a state
contracting agency issues the request for proposals.
  (g) Require the contractor or subcontractor to possess an
asbestos abatement license, if required under ORS 468A.710.
  (h) Include all contractual terms and conditions applicable to
the procurement. The contract terms and conditions shall specify
clear consequences for a contractor's failure to perform the
scope of work identified in the request for proposals or the
contractor's failure to meet established performance standards.
The consequences may include, but are not limited to:
  (A) Reducing or withholding payment;
  (B) Requiring the contractor to perform, at the contractor's
expense, additional work necessary to perform the identified
scope of work or meet the established performance standards; or
  (C) Declaring a default, terminating the public contract and
seeking damages and other relief available under the terms of the
public contract or other applicable law.
  (3) The request for proposals also may:
  (a) Identify contractual terms or conditions that the
contracting agency reserves, in the request for proposals, for
negotiation with proposers;
  (b) Request that proposers propose contractual terms and
conditions that relate to subject matter reasonably identified in
the request for proposals;
  (c) Contain or incorporate the form and content of the contract
that the contracting agency will accept, or suggest contract
terms and conditions that nevertheless may be the subject of
negotiations with proposers;
  (d) Announce the method the contracting agency will use to
select the contractor, which may include, but is not limited to,
negotiating with the highest ranked proposer, competitive
negotiations, a multiple-tiered competition that is designed to
identify a class of proposers that fall within a competitive
range or to otherwise eliminate from consideration a class of
lower ranked proposers or a combination of methods, as authorized
or prescribed by rules adopted under ORS 279A.065; and

  (e) Describe the manner in which the contracting agency will
evaluate proposals, identifying the relative importance of price
and other factors the contracting agency will use to evaluate and
rate the proposals in the first tier of competition. If the
contracting agency uses more than one tier of competitive
evaluation, the request for proposals must describe the process
the contracting agency will use to evaluate proposals in the
subsequent tiers.
  (4)(a) The contracting agency may require proposal security in
any form the contracting agency deems prudent. Proposal security
shall serve the same function with respect to requests for
proposals as bid security serves with respect to invitations to
bid under ORS 279B.055.
  (b) The contracting agency shall return the proposal security
to all proposers upon the execution of the contract.
  (c) The contracting agency shall retain the proposal security
if a proposer who is awarded a contract fails to promptly and
properly execute the contract. For purposes of this paragraph,
prompt and proper execution of the contract includes all action
by a proposer that is necessary to form a contract in accordance
with the request for proposals, including posting performance
security and submitting proof of insurance when the request for
proposals requires the submission. If contract negotiations or
competitive negotiations are conducted, the failure, prior to
award, of a contracting agency and a proposer to reach agreement
does not constitute grounds for retaining proposal security.
  (5) Public notice of the request for proposals must be given in
the same manner as provided for public notice of invitations to
bid in ORS 279B.055 (4).
  (6)(a) Notwithstanding ORS 192.410 to 192.505, proposals may be
opened in a manner to avoid disclosing contents to competing
proposers during, when applicable, the process of negotiation,
but the contracting agency shall record and make available the
identity of all proposers as part of the contracting agency's
public records after the proposals are opened. Notwithstanding
ORS 192.410 to 192.505, proposals are not required to be open for
public inspection until after the notice of intent to award a
contract is issued. The fact that proposals are opened at a
meeting, as defined in ORS 192.610, does not make the contents of
the proposals subject to disclosure, regardless of whether the
public body opening the proposals fails to give notice of or
provide for an executive session for the purpose of opening
proposals.
  (b) Notwithstanding a requirement to make proposals open to
public inspection after the contracting agency issues notice of
intent to award a contract, a contracting agency may withhold
from disclosure to the public materials included in a proposal
that are exempt or conditionally exempt from disclosure under
 { - ORS 192.501 or 192.502 - }   { + sections 12 to 24 of this
2013 Act + }.
  (c) If a request for proposals is canceled under ORS 279B.100
after proposals are received or if a proposal is rejected, the
contracting agency may return a proposal to the proposer that
made the proposal. The contracting agency shall keep a list of
returned proposals in the file for the solicitation.
  (7) As provided in the request for proposals or in written
addenda issued thereunder, the contracting agency may conduct
site tours, demonstrations, individual or group discussions and
other informational activities with proposers before or after the
opening of proposals for the purpose of clarification to ensure
full understanding of, and responsiveness to, the solicitation
requirements or to consider and respond to requests for
modifications of the proposal requirements. The contracting
agency shall use procedures designed to accord proposers fair and
equal treatment with respect to any opportunity for discussion
and revision of proposals.
  (8) For purposes of evaluation, when provided for in the
request for proposals, the contracting agency may employ methods
of contractor selection that include, but are not limited to:
  (a) An award or awards based solely on the ranking of
proposals;
  (b) Discussions leading to best and final offers, in which the
contracting agency may not disclose private discussions leading
to best and final offers;
  (c) Discussions leading to best and final offers, in which the
contracting agency may not disclose information derived from
proposals submitted by competing proposers;
  (d) Serial negotiations, beginning with the highest ranked
proposer;
  (e) Competitive simultaneous negotiations;
  (f) Multiple-tiered competition designed to identify, at each
level, a class of proposers that fall within a competitive range
or to otherwise eliminate from consideration a class of lower
ranked proposers;
  (g) A multistep request for proposals requesting the submission
of unpriced technical submittals, and then later issuing a
request for proposals limited to the proposers whose technical
submittals the contracting agency had determined to be qualified
under the criteria set forth in the initial request for
proposals; or
  (h) A combination of methods described in this subsection, as
authorized or prescribed by rules adopted under ORS 279A.065.
  (9) Revisions of proposals may be permitted after the
submission of proposals and before award for the purpose of
obtaining best offers or best and final offers.
  (10) After the opening of proposals, a contracting agency may
issue or electronically post an addendum to the request for
proposals that modifies the criteria, rating process and
procedure for any tier of competition before the start of the
tier to which the addendum applies. The contracting agency shall
send an addendum that is issued by a method other than electronic
posting to all proposers who are eligible to compete under the
addendum.  The contracting agency shall issue or post the
addendum at least five days before the start of the subject tier
of competition or as the contracting agency otherwise determines
is adequate to allow eligible proposers to prepare for the
competition in accordance with rules adopted under ORS 279A.065.
  (11) The cancellation of requests for proposals and the
rejection of proposals must be in accordance with ORS 279B.100.
  (12) In the request for proposals, the contracting agency shall
describe the methods by which the agency will make the results of
each tier of competitive evaluation available to the proposers
who competed in the tier. The contracting agency shall include a
description of the manner in which the proposers who are
eliminated from further competition may protest or otherwise
object to the contracting agency's decision.
  (13) The contracting agency shall issue or electronically post
the notice of intent to award described in ORS 279B.135 to each
proposer who was evaluated in the final competitive tier.
  (14) If the contracting agency awards a contract, the
contracting agency shall award the contract to the responsible
proposer whose proposal the contracting agency determines in
writing is the most advantageous to the contracting agency based
on the evaluation process and evaluation factors described in the
request for proposals, applicable preferences described in ORS
279A.120 and 279A.125 and, when applicable, the outcome of any
negotiations authorized by the request for proposals. Other
factors may not be used in the evaluation. When the request for
proposals specifies or authorizes awarding multiple public
contracts, the contracting agency shall award public contracts to
the responsible proposers who qualify for the award of a contract
under the terms of the request for proposals.
  (15) The contracting agency may issue a request for
information, a request for interest, a request for qualifications
or other preliminary documents to obtain information useful in
preparing a request for proposals.
  (16) Before executing a contract solicited under this section,
a contracting agency shall obtain the proposer's agreement to
perform the scope of work and meet the performance standards set
forth in the final negotiated scope of work.
  SECTION 53. ORS 279C.107 is amended to read:
  279C.107. (1) Notwithstanding the public records law, ORS
192.410 to 192.505, if a contracting agency solicits a contract
for architectural, engineering, photogrammetric mapping,
transportation planning or land surveying services or related
services by a competitive proposal:
  (a) The contracting agency may open proposals so as to avoid
disclosing contents to competing proposers during, when
applicable, the process of negotiation.
  (b) The contracting agency need not open proposals for public
inspection until after the contracting agency executes a
contract.
  (2) Notwithstanding any requirement to open proposals to public
inspection after the contracting agency executes a contract, a
contracting agency shall withhold from disclosure to the public
trade secrets  { - , as defined in ORS 192.501, and information
submitted to a public body in confidence, as described in ORS
192.502, that are - }   { + or other information that is + }
contained in a proposal  { + submitted to a public body and
exempt from disclosure under sections 12 to 24 of this 2013
Act + }. Opening a proposal at a public meeting, as defined in
ORS 192.610, does not make the contents of the proposal subject
to disclosure, regardless of whether the public body that opens
the proposal fails to give notice of or provide for an executive
session for the purpose of opening proposals. If a request for
proposals is canceled after proposals are received, the
contracting agency shall, subject to   { - ORS 192.501 and
192.502 - }  { +  sections 12 to 24 of this 2013 Act + }, return
a proposal and all copies of the proposal to the proposer that
made the proposal. The contracting agency shall keep a list of
returned proposals in the file for the solicitation.
  SECTION 54. ORS 279C.410 is amended to read:
  279C.410. (1) Notwithstanding the public records law, ORS
192.410 to 192.505:
  (a) Proposals may be opened so as to avoid disclosure of
contents to competing proposers during, when applicable, the
process of negotiation.
  (b) Proposals are not required to be open for public inspection
until after the notice of intent to award a contract is issued.
  (2) For each request for proposals, the contracting agency
shall prepare a list of proposals.
  (3) Notwithstanding any requirement to make proposals open to
public inspection after the contracting agency's issuance of
notice of intent to award a contract, a contracting agency may
withhold from disclosure to the public trade secrets  { - , as
defined in ORS 192.501, and information submitted to a public
body in confidence, as described in ORS 192.502, that are - }
 { + or other information that is + } contained in a proposal
 { + submitted to a public body and exempt from disclosure under
sections 12 to 24 of this 2013 Act + }. The fact that proposals
are opened at a public meeting as defined in ORS 192.610 does not
make their contents subject to disclosure, regardless of whether
the public body opening the proposals fails to give notice of or
provide for an executive session for the purpose of opening
proposals. If a request for proposals is canceled after proposals
are received, the contracting agency may return a proposal to the
proposer that made the proposal. The contracting agency shall

keep a list of returned proposals in the file for the
solicitation.
  (4) As provided in the request for proposals, a contracting
agency may conduct discussions with proposers who submit
proposals the agency has determined to be closely competitive or
to have a reasonable chance of being selected for award. The
discussions may be conducted for the purpose of clarification to
ensure full understanding of, and responsiveness to, the
solicitation requirements. The contracting agency shall accord
proposers fair and equal treatment with respect to any
opportunity for discussion and revision of proposals. Revisions
of proposals may be permitted after the submission of proposals
and before award for the purpose of obtaining best and final
offers. In conducting discussions, the contracting agency may not
disclose information derived from proposals submitted by
competing proposers.
  (5) When provided for in the request for proposals, the
contracting agency may employ methods of contractor selection
including but not limited to award based solely on the ranking of
proposals, negotiation with the highest ranked proposer,
competitive negotiations, multiple-tiered competition designed to
identify a class of proposers that fall within a competitive
range or to otherwise eliminate from consideration a class of
lower ranked proposers, or any combination of methods, as
authorized or prescribed by rules adopted under ORS 279A.065.
When applicable, in any instance in which the contracting agency
determines that impasse has been reached in negotiations with a
highest ranked proposer, the contracting agency may terminate
negotiations with that proposer and commence negotiations with
the next highest ranked proposer.
  (6) The cancellation of requests for proposals and the
rejection of proposals shall be in accordance with ORS 279C.395.
  (7) At least seven days before the award of a public
improvement contract, unless the contracting agency determines
that seven days is impractical under rules adopted under ORS
279A.065, the contracting agency shall issue to each proposer or
post, electronically or otherwise, a notice of intent to award.
  (8) If a public improvement contract is awarded, the
contracting agency shall award a public improvement contract to
the responsible proposer whose proposal is determined in writing
to be the most advantageous to the contracting agency based on
the evaluation factors set forth in the request for proposals
and, when applicable, the outcome of any negotiations authorized
by the request for proposals. Other factors may not be used in
the evaluation.
  SECTION 55. ORS 285C.145 is amended to read:
  285C.145. (1) The Legislative Assembly finds that the standard
procedure for authorization in an enterprise zone inappropriately
deters development or redevelopment of qualified buildings on
speculation for subsequent sale or lease to eligible business
firms.
  (2) Notwithstanding ORS 285C.140 (1), a new building or
structure or an addition to or modification of an existing
building or structure may qualify for the exemption allowed under
ORS 285C.175 if the qualified property is leased or sold by an
unrelated party to one or more authorized business firms after
commencement of the construction, addition or modification but
prior to use or occupancy of the qualified property.
  (3) A business firm may not be considered authorized and is not
qualified for the exemption allowed under ORS 285C.175 if the
county assessor discovers prior to initially granting the
exemption that the application for authorization was not
submitted by the business firm in a timely manner in accordance
with ORS 285C.140, except as allowed under subsection (2) of this
section or ORS 285C.140 (11) and (12).

  (4) Records, communications or information submitted to a
public body by a business firm for purposes of ORS 285C.050 to
285C.250 that identify a particular qualified property, that
reveal investment plans prior to authorization, that include the
compensation the firm provides to firm employees  { - , that are
described in ORS 192.502 (17) - }  or that are submitted under
ORS 285C.225 or 285C.235 are exempt from disclosure under
 { - ORS 192.410 to 192.505 - }   { + sections 12 to 24 of this
2013 Act + } and, as appropriate, shall be shared among the
county assessor, the zone sponsor, the Department of Revenue and
the Oregon Business Development Department.
  SECTION 56. ORS 287A.350 is amended to read:

  (2)(a) The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court by order may
establish fees for copies of tax court records, for services
relating to those records and for other services that the tax
court, the clerk of the tax court or the State Court
Administrator acting as court administrator for the tax court is
authorized or required to perform.
  (b) The Chief Justice may not establish:
  (A) A fee for the location or inspection of court records; or
  (B) A fee for a service under this subsection if the fee is
otherwise specified by statute.

information to:
  (A) The person designated in the policy adopted under ORS

ORS 339.372.
  (2) A person who receives a report under subsection (1) of this
section shall follow the procedures required by the policy
