EXCEPTION IN CASE OF EXCESSIVE CHARGE -- EXCEPTIONS FOR LACK OF
PRODUCTION FACILITIES ON BIDS ON STATE WORK. (a) Whenever it shall be
established that any charge for printing, engraving, binding (excluding
binding for state supported libraries) or stationery work is in excess of the
charge usually made to private individuals for the same kind and quality of
work, then the state or county officer or officers having such work in charge
shall have power to have such work done outside of said county or state, but
nothing in this chapter shall be construed to oblige any of said officers to
accept any unsatisfactory work.
(b) Any work referred to in section 60-101, Idaho Code, and which is to
be executed for or on behalf of the state may be executed outside of this
state in any case (1) where the execution of such work shall require the use
of a technique or process which cannot be performed through the use of
physical production facilities located within this state and the use of such
technique or process is essential to a necessary function to be served by the
printing, binding, engraving or stationery work required; (2) where, after
requests for proposals or bids have been made or notice thereof has been given
as required by section 67-5718, Idaho Code, as amended, no bid or proposal is
made thereon by any person, firm or corporation proposing to execute such work
within this state, or (3) where, after requests for proposals or bids have
been made or notice thereof given as required by section 67-5718, Idaho Code,
the lowest bid from a person, firm or corporation proposing to execute such
work within this state is more than ten percent (10%) more than the lowest bid
from a person, firm or corporation proposing to execute such work outside this
state.
