Amends GS 143-131(a) to require that the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency use the statute's informal bid process (selecting the lowest responsible, responsive bidder when considering the quality, performance, and time specified in the bid) when awarding contracts for construction or repair work, including the purchase of manufactured housing units, related to disaster recovery. The requirement applies to contracts expending public funds of $250,000 or more, but less than the limit prescribed by GS 143-129 (currently $500,000).
