Overview
This bill extends the ability of school and community college districts in California to use ‘job order contracting,’ a method of awarding public works projects. It removes a previous expiration date for these provisions, making them effective indefinitely until January 1, 2037. The bill also prohibits using job order contracting if it’s determined to increase project costs without proper justification and establishes requirements for workforce training on job order contracts. Finally, it modifies rules regarding continuing contracts and ensures task orders remain valid even if the underlying contract expires.
