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 the deferred maintenance 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." It also outlines the selection methods for contractors, emphasizing the need for qualifications and experience relevant to the projects.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that job order contracts can be awarded for recurring maintenance work with indefinite delivery times and quantities, and it mandates that the postsecondary education institution establish maximum contract prices and evaluation criteria for selecting contractors. The initial term for these contracts is limited to two years, with the possibility of annual renewals for up to three additional years. The provisions of this bill will take precedence over any conflicting laws, ensuring a streamlined process for managing deferred maintenance projects in Louisiana's public postsecondary institutions.
