Existing law establishes, until January 1, 2034, a pilot project authorizing the governing board of the Los Angeles Unified School District to award multiple annual task-order procurement contracts, as prescribed, for purposes that include services, repairs, and construction funded by the school district's general fund, local school construction bonds, or federal or state funds.
This bill would, in addition, until January 1, 2031, authorize a school district with an average daily attendance of 2,500 or less or a county superintendent of schools to award multiple task-order procurement contracts for repair and renovation of buildings and grounds, for projects not exceeding $3,000,000, through a single request for bids. The bill would require these contracts to be paid for with money from the county or school district's general fund, a local construction bond, or federal or state funds and to be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2030, a school district or county office of education that uses the task order procurement contracting method to submit to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature a report on its use of the task order procurement contracting method, as specified.
This bill would limit the scope of these contracts to those purposes authorized by its funding source. The bill would also require the contracting educational agency to ensure that it is in compliance with existing provisions that authorize personal service contracting for services currently or customarily performed by classified school employees before entering into a contract pursuant to this bill.
