AI Summary

This bill expands an existing pilot program that allows school districts and county superintendents to use task-order procurement contracts for facility repairs and renovations. Specifically, the bill authorizes school districts with an average daily attendance of 2,500 or less, and county superintendents with an average daily attendance of 10,000 or less, to award multiple task-order procurement contracts for building and ground repairs through a single bid request. These contracts can cover projects up to $3 million and must be funded by the district's general fund, local construction bonds, or federal or state funds. The bill requires that these contracts be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and comply with existing rules about personal service contracting. Additionally, the bill mandates that by January 1, 2030, participating school districts and county offices must submit a comprehensive report to the Legislature detailing their use of task-order procurement, including project descriptions, contract amounts, contractor information, and performance assessments. The program is set to expire on January 1, 2031, and is intended to supplement, not replace, existing personnel. The goal is to provide smaller school districts with more flexible and efficient methods for managing facility maintenance and improvement projects.
