      Sec. 4-215. Personal service agreements having cost of more than twenty thousand dollars but not more than fifty thousand dollars and term of not more than one year. (a) Each personal service agreement executed on or after July 1, 1994, and having a cost of more than twenty thousand dollars but not more than fifty thousand dollars and a term of not more than one year shall be based on competitive negotiation or competitive quotations, unless the state agency purchasing the personal services determines that a sole source purchase is required and applies to the secretary for a waiver from such requirement and the secretary grants the waiver. Not later than March 1, 1994, the secretary shall adopt guidelines for determining the types of services that may qualify for such waivers. The qualifying services shall include, but not be limited to, (1) services for which the cost to the state of a competitive selection procedure would outweigh the benefits of such procedure, as documented by the state agency, (2) proprietary services, (3) services to be provided by a contractor mandated by the general statutes or a public or special act, and (4) emergency services, including services needed for the protection of life or health.

      (b) Each state agency shall submit the following information to the secretary concerning each proposed personal service agreement described in subsection (a) of this section, at the same time that it submits the agreement to the Commissioner of Administrative Services or the Attorney General: The name of the personal service contractor, a description of the services to be provided, the term and cost of the agreement, the method of selecting the contractor, the state fund from which the contractor will be paid and whether any federal or private funds will be allocated for such payments.
