Local Agency Public Construction Act: job order contracting: cities.

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 authorizes certain local agencies to engage in job order contracting, as prescribed.

This bill would establish a pilot program to authorize a city to use job order contracting as a procurement method. The bill would impose a $3,000,000 cap on awards under a single job order contract and a $750,000 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 city, on or before January 1, 2030, to submit to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature a report on the use of job order contracting under the bill. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2032.
