The director may authorize any agency of the state to establish standing 2 contracts for the purpose of accomplishing construction, renovation, maintenance and repair 3 projects not exceeding [one] two hundred fifty thousand dollars.

The director shall 12 establish, by rule, the procedures which the agencies must follow to procure contracts for 13 design, construction, renovation, maintenance or repair work. Each agency which procures 14 such contracts pursuant to a delegation shall file an annual report as required by rule. The 15 director shall provide general supervision over the process.
