Summary

Official abstract published by the California legislature· summary

Existing law, the Local Agency Public Construction Act, sets forth procedures that a local agency is required to follow when procuring certain services or work. Existing law also sets forth specific public contracting requirements for port districts. Existing law establishes the San Diego Unified Port District for the acquisition, construction, maintenance, operation, development, and regulation of harbor works and improvements for the harbor of San Diego and for the promotion of commerce, navigation, fisheries, and recreation and requires the San Diego Unified Port District to comply with the specific public contracting requirements for port districts. Existing law authorizes certain local agencies to engage in job order contracting, as prescribed. This bill would establish a pilot program to authorize the San Diego Unified Port District to use job order contracting as a procurement method, notwithstanding the specific public contracting requirements for port districts, as provided. The bill would impose various requirements on the job order contracting related to the San Diego Unified Port District, including a $5,000,000 cap on awards under a single job order contract and a $1,000,000 cap on any single job order. The bill would limit the term of an initial contract to a maximum of 12 months, with extensions, as prescribed. The bill would establish various additional procedures and requirements for the use of job order contracting under this authorization. The bill would require the San Diego Unified Port District, on or before January 1, 2035, to submit to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature a report on the use of job order contracting under these provisions. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2037. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the San Diego Unified Port District.
