House Bill No. 755, introduced by Representative Turner, aims to establish procedures for indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity (IDIQ) professional design services contracts specifically for certain projects. The bill amends R.S. 38:2316 and enacts R.S. 38:2310(11), defining an IDIQ professional design services contract as a master contract that allows agencies to issue multiple task orders for different design efforts. The bill outlines the selection procedures, advertising requirements, and mandates the submission of professional qualifications. It also sets contract limits, terms, and conditions for amendments related to ongoing projects, ensuring that agencies maintain compliance before issuing task orders.

The proposed law clarifies that the provisions apply to professional design service contracts for construction projects with an estimated budget exceeding $1 million. It requires agencies to notify the division of administration about their intention to contract for IDIQ services, which will evaluate and refer the request to the appropriate selection board. The designated board must advertise the required professional services and provide details for applicants. Additionally, the bill limits individual task orders for renovations to a maximum of $13 million and mandates that each agency maintain at least two IDIQ contracts at all times. If an agency fails to comply, it cannot issue further task orders on its existing contract. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
