This bill enacts new provisions in Louisiana law regarding job order contracting specifically for postsecondary education institutions. It introduces R.S. 17:3369.3(A)(8), which allows projects financed or constructed under this program to utilize job order contracting as outlined in the newly created R.S. 38:2225.6. This section establishes an alternative project delivery method for addressing deferred maintenance of public facilities, defining key terms such as "public facility," "project," and "evaluation committee." The bill outlines the criteria for awarding job order contracts, including the establishment of maximum contract prices and the requirement for contractors to be licensed.

Additionally, the bill mandates that postsecondary education institutions form an evaluation committee to assess contractor qualifications based on specific criteria, including professional experience and past performance. It allows for the awarding of job order contracts for a maximum initial term of two years, with the possibility of annual renewals for up to three additional years. The provisions of this section will take precedence over any conflicting laws, ensuring a streamlined process for managing deferred maintenance projects in public facilities under the supervision of postsecondary education institutions.
