Summary

The State Contract Act governs state contracts for public works projects and, among other things, generally requires public notice of a project, the submission of bids, and the award of a contract to the lowest responsible bidder, as provided. Existing law also establishes procedures for state agencies to enter into contracts for goods and services, including generally requiring that certain contracts by a state agency be approved by the Department of General Services. Existing law authorizes the department to consolidate the needs of multiple state agencies for goods, information technology, and services and establish agreements that leverage the state's buying power, as specified, for certain acquisitions. Existing law authorizes state and local agencies to contract with suppliers awarded those contracts without further competitive bidding. This bill, notwithstanding any other law requiring bidding on public works contracts, would authorize a state or local agency to use the above-described procedures for the purchase, or purchase and installation, of carpet, resilient flooring, or synthetic turf if the installation work is not performed in connection with new construction and the contractor complies with specified requirements relating to wages and labor. The bill would require a state or local agency that enters into a contract for installation, or purchase and installation, under these provisions to provide the Department of Industrial Relations with a specified notice of the contract. The bill would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2026.
