Each spending plan shall address any potential savings, lack of savings, or costs that may be realized by each of the following strategies:

(C) With the approval of the director of administrative services, allowing contracts for critical services that are up for renewal to expire and be rebid.
(D) With the approval of the director of budget and management, cancelling all contracts entered into before July 1, 2009, that are supported by noncapital funds.
(E) Cooperatively purchasing supplies and services with other state agencies.
(F)Using other state agencies to provide needed services.

The spending plan shall include a review of a loss of efficiency or other benefits related to the reduction in parking expenses.
