Summary

The State Contract Act governs the bidding and award of public works contracts by specific state departments and requires an awarding department, before entering into any contract for a project, to prepare full, complete, and accurate plans and specifications and estimates of cost. The Buy Clean California Act, requires, among other things, the Department of General Services (department) to establish a maximum acceptable global warming potential for each category of eligible materials, as specified. That law requires an awarding authority, as defined, to require a successful bidder to submit a current Environmental Product Declaration developed in accordance with specified standards, for that type of product. This bill would require the department, on or before January 1, 2024, to establish and publish a maximum acceptable global warming potential for concrete, as specified. The bill would, beginning January 1, 2022, require an awarding authority to require a winning bidder for an eligible project to submit an Environmental Product Declaration developed in accordance with specified standards prior to installation of any concrete products. This bill would, beginning January 1, 2023, require an awarding authority letting contracts involving the purchase of 50 cubic yards or more of concrete to apply a performance discount rate, as specified, for the purpose of assessing and selecting bids. The performance discount rate would apply an artificial price discount, not to exceed 5%, to bids with a global warming potential within specified parameters. .
