of Transportation". It is added to state
affirmatively that the Department of Transportation
must establish a selection procedure that, ultimately,
will enable the Transportation Selection Board to
comply with its duties under § 13-304(b) of this
subtitle.

Subsections (b) through (d) of this section are new
language derived without substantive change from
former SF § 11-157(a)(2)(i) through (iv).

In subsections (b)(1)(i) and (c) of this section, the
word "person" is substituted for the former word
"firm", since it did not seem to be the intent of the
former law to exclude qualified individuals or other
persons who are not "firms".

In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to
the "transportation unit requesting the procurement"
is substituted for the former reference to a "using
authority", for clarity.
