Summary

Existing law authorizes the Sonoma Valley Health Care District, Last Frontier Health Care District, and the Mayers Memorial Hospital District the authority to use the design-build procedure when contracting for the construction of a building or improvements directly related to a hospital or health facility building, as specified. Existing law sets forth the procurement process for design-build projects and requires specified information by submitted design-build entities and others to be verified under penalty of perjury. This bill would additionally authorize any health care district to use the design-build process when contracting for the construction of a hospital or health facility building. Because the bill would expand the application of the procurement process to additional design-build entities, the bill would expand the crime of perjury, thereby imposing 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.
