Summary

Existing law authorizes transit operators to enter into a design-build contract, as defined, according to specified procedures. Existing law requires a transit operator that uses the design-build process to report to the Legislative Analyst on each public works project procured through the design-build process within 120 days of the design-build project being put into operation or by December 1, 2005, whichever occurs first. Existing law requires certain information submitted under the design-build provisions to be submitted under penalty of perjury. Existing law repeals provisions regarding transit design-build contracts on January 1, 2011. This bill would instead repeal these provisions on January 1, 2015. The bill would require a transit operator that uses the design-build process to report to the Legislative Analyst on each public works project procured through the design-build process within 120 days of the design-build project being put into operation or by December 1, 2015, whichever occurs first. Because the bill would expand the crime of perjury, it 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.
