B. Each request for proposals issued pursuant to this section shall require each private partner to propose specific performance improvements and measurement approaches to be used to measure the value delivered by the vendor technology solution. The director shall include an assessment of the proposed value of the vendor technology solution in its evaluation criteria to select the best value solution for the purchasing agency.
C. A contract entered into between the director and an automated systems vendor shall provide for payment of fees on a contractually specific amount based on the achievement of measured performance improvements that are mutually agreed to by the contractor and the director and monies for payment of these fees are not subject to legislative appropriation. The following are subject to review and approval by the director:
1. The terms of contracts entered into pursuant to this section relating to the measurement of the performance improvement attributable to the vendor technology program.
2. Payment of fees based on the achievement of the established performance measures.
D. Before a public-private partnership contract is awarded pursuant to this section, the joint legislative budget committee staff shall be consulted with regard to the potential fiscal impact of the contract to the state. If the joint legislative budget committee staff finds a significant negative fiscal impact to the state, the staff shall report its findings to the joint legislative budget committee.
