Summary

Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary

Existing law, the Local Agency Public Construction Act, governs public works contracts awarded by counties and requires the work of construction or repair of specified public buildings to be done by contract, if the estimated cost exceeds $4,000, as prescribed. Existing law, in counties containing a population of 500,000 or more, exempts that work from the above-described requirement if the estimated cost of the work is less than $6,500. This bill would, until January 1, 2035, authorize the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency, upon approval of its governing body, to use specified alternative project delivery methods, in addition to other contracting methods allowable by law, and require a contract awarded pursuant to these provisions to be awarded on a best value basis or to the lowest responsible bidder. Because the bill would expand the crime of perjury, it would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the agency to follow specified procedures if its governing body approves the use of Job Order contracting, as defined, and limit the maximum total dollar amount that may be awarded under a single Job Order contract and the term of a Job Order contract. The bill would require the agency to prepare an independent cost estimate for each individual job order developed under a Job Order contract. The bill would prohibit an agency from using job order contracting unless it enters into a project labor agreement, as specified. The bill would also require an agency that uses job order contracting to submit a report to the Legislature, as specified. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Pajaro Regional Flood Management Agency. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
