House Bill No. by Representative Turner aims to amend and reenact R.S. 38:2316 and to enact R.S. 38:2310(11) concerning indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity professional design services contracts. The bill introduces a new definition for "indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity professional design services contract," which is described as a master contract allowing agencies to issue multiple task orders for different design efforts. It also outlines the selection procedures, advertising requirements, and the need for agencies to submit professional qualifications. Additionally, the bill establishes contract limits, terms, and amendments for certain projects, while mandating agency compliance for issuing task orders.

The bill specifies that contracts for indefinite delivery and indefinite quantity professional design services shall not include design services for new buildings, with single task orders for renovations capped at thirteen million dollars. It sets a maximum total fee of one million dollars for these contracts, which shall have a term not exceeding two years. Amendments to task orders can be executed even after the contract's expiration, provided they relate to ongoing projects. Furthermore, agencies are required to maintain a minimum of two such contracts at all times, and failure to comply will prevent the issuance of further task orders. The provisions of this bill do not affect the validity of other professional design service contracts regulated by existing law.
