Last Version Text Digest Existing law authorizes the Sonoma Valley Health Care District, Last Frontier Health Care District, and the Mayers Memorial Hospital District the authority to use the design-build procedure when contracting for the construction of a building or improvements directly related to a hospital or health facility building, as specified. Existing law sets forth the procurement process for design-build projects and requires specified information by submitted design-build entities and others to be verified under penalty of perjury. This bill would additionally authorize any health care district to use the design-build process when contracting for the construction of a hospital or health facility building. Because the bill would expand the application of the procurement process to additional design-build entities, the bill would expand the crime of perjury, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.
