Under existing law, public contracts of $30,000 or more for the purchase of goods or services are generally required to be awarded through a competitive bidding process established by law. However, the competitive bidding requirements do not apply to certain types of contracts. Under existing law, the competitive bidding requirements do not apply to contracts by certain municipal public building authorities that contract for the purchase or construction of certain plants, buildings, or other facilities designed for industrial development. This bill would include county public building authorities that contract for the purchase or construction of certain plants, buildings, or other facilities designed for industrial development within the existing exemption.
