Existing law, the Local Agency Public Construction Act, authorizes job order contracting, as defined, for school districts until January 1, 2027. Existing law requires job order contractors to submit a questionnaire to the school district containing specified information verified under oath, under penalty of perjury.
</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would delete the January 1, 2027, repeal date for these provisions, thereby making them operative indefinitely.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law authorizes a school district to utilize job order contracting only if the school district has entered into a project labor agreement or agreements that will apply to all public works awarded through job order contracting and to all other public works of the school district that exceed a monetary threshold set by
the school district until January 1, 2027, regardless of what contracting procedure is used to award that work.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would delete the January 1, 2027, date for the above provisions, thereby making them operative indefinitely.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law requires a school district to prepare an execution plan for all modernization projects that may be eligible for job order contracting. Existing law requires the school district to select from that plan a sufficient number of projects to be initiated as job order contracts during each calendar year and to determine for each selected project that job order contracting will reduce the total cost of that project, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would delete the above provisions.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law also authorizes job order contracting for community college districts until January 1, 2027. Existing law requires job
order contractors to submit a questionnaire to the community college district containing specified information verified under oath, under penalty of perjury.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would delete the January 1, 2027, repeal date for these provisions, thereby making them operative indefinitely.</html:p>
<html:p>Existing law authorizes a community college district to utilize job order contracting only if the community college district has entered into a project labor agreement or agreements that will apply to all public works awarded through job order contracting and to all other public works of the district that exceed a monetary threshold set by the district until January 1, 2027, regardless of what contracting procedure is used to award that work.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would delete the January 1, 2027, date for the above provisions, thereby making them operative indefinitely.</html:p>
<html:p>By
extending the operation of those provisions that expand the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.</html:p>

Existing law authorizes continuing contracts for a school district to be made with an accepted vendor for work or services, or for apparatus or equipment, not to exceed 5 years, or for materials or supplies, not to exceed 3 years.
</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would prohibit the duration of any task order procurement contract or job order contract issued pursuant to specified Public Contract Code provisions from exceeding 5 years. The bill would additionally provide that any individual task order or job order issued pursuant to those contracts shall remain valid and enforceable despite the expiration of the term of the task order procurement contract or job order contract pursuant to which the individual task order or job order was validly issued.</html:p>
<html:p>The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.</html:p>
