Overview
This bill extends the authorization for local agencies in California to use design-build contracts for public works projects costing over $1,000,000. Currently, this authority was set to expire on January 1, 2031. The bill removes this expiration date, allowing local agencies to continue utilizing this procurement method indefinitely. It also clarifies that no state reimbursement is required due to the expansion of potential perjury offenses.
