                        FEBRUARY 27, 2015

   An act to  amend Section 20919.15 of, and to  add and

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1431, as amended, Gomez. Local Agency Public Construction Act:
job order contracting.
   Existing law, the Local Agency Public Construction Act, authorizes
job order contracting, as provided, by the Los Angeles Unified
School District (LAUSD), until December 31, 2020.
   This bill would  repeal the provisions relating to the LAUSD
and would instead  authorize job order contracting in a similar
manner for school districts  other than LAUSD  until
January 1, 2022. The bill would restrict job order contracting
pursuant to the bill to school districts that have entered into a
project labor agreement or agreements, as defined, that will apply to
all public works in excess of $25,000 undertaken by the school
district through at least December 31, 2021, regardless of what
contracting procedure is used to award that work. The bill would
require job order contractors to submit a questionnaire to the school
district containing specified information verified under oath. By
expanding the crime of perjury, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

violates the provisions involving employment of apprentices shall
forfeit as a civil penalty an amount not exceeding one hundred
dollars ($100) for each full calendar day of noncompliance. The
amount of this penalty shall be based on consideration of whether the

or subcontractor that knowingly commits a second or subsequent
violation of the provisions involving employment of apprentices
within a three-year period where the noncompliance results in
apprenticeship training not being provided as required, shall forfeit
as a civil penalty a sum of not more than three hundred dollars
($300) for each full calendar day of noncompliance and shall not be
awarded any further job orders under the job order contract and shall
be precluded for a period of one year from bidding on any future job
order contracts.

district adopting job order contracting shall do all of the
following:
   (a) Prepare for each individual job order developed under a job
order contract an independent school district estimate. The estimate
will be prepared prior to the receipt of the contractor's offer to
perform work and will be compared to the contractor's proposed price
to determine the reasonableness of that price before issuance of any
job order. The basis for any adjustments to the school district
estimate is to be documented. In the event that the contractor's
proposal for a given job order is found to be unreasonable, not cost
effective, or undesirable, the school district is under no obligation
to issue the job order to the job order contractor, and may instead
utilize any other available procurement procedures.
   (b) The school district shall not issue a job order until the job
order has been reviewed and approved by  at least two levels
  the appropriate level  of management.
   (c) Once a job order has been issued, all documents pertaining to
preparation and approval of the job order, including the independent
school district estimate, shall be available for public review.

process, the school district shall submit to the Office of Public

Committee on Business, Professions and Economic Development and
Assembly Committee on Business, Professions and Consumer Protection,

containing a description of each job order contract procured, and the
work under each contract completed on or before June 30, 2019. The
report shall be prepared by an independent third party and the school
district shall pay for the cost of the report. The report shall
include, but not be limited to, all of the following information:

contract.
