Summary

Existing law establishes specific instances where a public entity is required to obtain an enforceable commitment that a bidder, contractor, or other entity will use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project. This bill would establish provisions to be generally applicable when a public entity is required by statute or regulation to obtain an enforceable commitment that a bidder, contractor, or other entity will use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project. The bill would also authorize a public entity to require that a bidder, contractor, or other entity use a skilled and trained workforce to complete a contract or project. Existing law relating to school facilities provides for the lease of property and prohibits the governing board of a school district from entering into specific lease agreements for the construction of buildings for the use of the school district with any entity unless the entity provides to the governing board an enforceable commitment that the entity and its subcontractors at every tier will use a skilled and trained workforce to perform all work on the project or contract that falls within an apprenticeable occupation in the building and construction trades. Existing law relating to school facilities, operative July 1, 2016, and until January 1, 2025, also authorizes a school district, with the approval of the governing board of the school district, to procure design-build contracts for certain public works projects, as provided, and prohibits a design-build entity from being prequalified or shortlisted unless the entity provides a similar enforceable commitment to the school district with respect to the use of a skilled and trained workforce. Existing law relating to the Department of General Services and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation authorizes the Director of General Services and the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to procure design-build contracts for certain public works projects, as provided, and prohibits a design-build entity from being prequalified or shortlisted unless the entity provides a similar enforceable commitment to the departments with respect to the use of a skilled and trained workforce. Existing law relating to local agencies authorizes a local agency to procure design-build contracts for certain public works projects, as provided, and prohibits a design-build entity from being prequalified or shortlisted unless the entity provides a similar enforceable commitment to a local agency with respect to the use of a skilled and trained workforce. Existing law, until January 1, 2021, establishes a pilot program to authorize the Los Angeles Unified School District to use a best value procurement method for bid evaluation and selection for certain public projects (LAUSD pilot program) . The LAUSD pilot program precludes the prequalification or shortlisting of a best value entity unless the entity provides a similar enforceable commitment to the governing board of the district with respect to the use of a skilled and trained workforce. Existing law establishes a pilot program to allow the Counties of Alameda, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Solano, and Yuba to select a bidder on the basis of best value, as defined, for specific construction projects (pilot program for counties) . The pilot program for counties precludes the prequalification or shortlisting of a best value contractor unless the contractor provides a similar enforceable commitment to the county with respect to the use of a skilled and trained workforce. This bill would revise those provisions specifically applicable to school facilities, the Department of General Services, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, and local agency design-build projects, the LAUSD pilot program, and the pilot program for counties to require, instead, an enforceable commitment for the use of a skilled and trained workforce in accordance with the above-described generally applicable provisions for the use of a skilled and trained workforce, unless there is a prescribed project labor agreement. The bill, except as specified, would not apply to contracts advertised for bid or awarded before January 1, 2017. The California Constitution requires local agencies, for the purpose of ensuring public access to the meetings of public bodies and the writings of public officials and agencies, to comply with a statutory enactment that amends or enacts laws relating to public records or open meetings and contains findings demonstrating that the enactment furthers the constitutional requirements relating to this purpose. This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
