This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law generally requires state agencies to obtain at least 3 competitive bids for each contract. Under existing law, this requirement does not apply under certain circumstances, including, among others, in cases of emergency where a contract is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, welfare, or safety, or protection of state property. This bill would establish specific procedures to govern bidding for emergency equipment rental agreements entered into by the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) and private vendors and the subsequent hiring of vendors. The bill would require that such an agreement be subject to competitive bidding, and awarded as prescribed. The bill would require that the Department of General Services conduct the competitive bidding process on behalf of CalFire, and ensure compliance with the Small Business Procurement and Contract Act and the California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise Program for all prospective vendors claiming a preference. The bill would require CalFire to develop and implement an employee code of conduct.
