Honolulu, Hawaii

, 2002

RE: H.C.R. No. 105

 

 

Honorable Robert Bunda

President of the Senate

Twenty-First State Legislature

Regular Session of 2002

State of Hawaii

Sir:

Your Committee on Ways and Means, to which was referred H.C.R. No. 105 entitled:

"HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE AUDITOR TO CONDUCT A STUDY OF PRINTING PRODUCTS AND SERVICES UTILIZED, CONTRACTED, AND SUBCONTRACTED BY HAWAII STATE GOVERNMENT,"

begs leave to report as follows:

The purpose of this measure is to request the Auditor to conduct a study of all in-house and contracted printing jobs, including contracts awarded by state agencies to private marketing and advertising firms that subcontract printing jobs.

In addition, this measure requests the Auditor to determine:

(1) The number of in-house and contracted state printing jobs and dollar volume amounts that were spent in Hawaii, out-of-state, and out-of-country; and

(2) The number of employees, and the direct and indirect costs of labor, employee benefits, rent, equipment leasing, administrative supplies, and other costs associated with state in-house printing operations.

While state expenditures on printing are valuable in determining how state printing jobs affect Hawaii's printing industry, your Committee finds that it is unclear as to:

(1) The volume and dollar amount spent on printing services and products utilized, contracted, and subcontracted by state agencies; and

(2) How many state print jobs are performed in-house or contracted to private vendors in Hawaii or out-of-state, including jobs initiated by subcontractors.

As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Ways and Means that is attached to this report, your Committee concurs with the intent and purpose of H.C.R. No. 105, and recommends its adoption.

Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Ways and Means,
