AB 1860: School facilities: design-build: alternative design-build: county superintendents of schools.

<p>The bill amends existing laws to allow county superintendents of schools to procure design-build and alternative design-build contracts for public works projects, similar to the authority given to school districts. It specifies that these contracts must be awarded based on either the lowest bid or best value criteria. The bill grants exclusive awarding authority to county superintendents over such contracts on behalf of a county office of education and board of education. Additionally, it includes findings that these provisions address statewide concerns and apply uniformly across all counties, including charter counties.</p> <p>The bill also addresses the state's reimbursement requirements for local agencies and school districts, stating no reimbursement is required under this act due to specific reasons outlined in statutory procedures.</p>
