"Best Value" Conference

Best Value is a procurement tool, specifically for obtaining public works, that is getting some discussion now in Washington State. Instead of focusing solely on the low bid, it focuses on which contractor provides the best overall value for the public agency. There may be legislation introduced in the 2009 legislative session on this subject.

There will be a conference on the subject from February 11 - 15, 2008 in Arizona. See the following website for more information:
