Local Agency Public Construction Act: job order contracting.

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 authorize the city council to award individual annual job order contracts, not to exceed $500,000, as specified, for repair, remodeling, or other repetitive work to be done according to unit prices. The bill would prohibit, among other things, annual contracts from being awarded for any new construction. The bill would require the contracts to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and be based on plans and specifications for typical work.
