SB 983: San Diego Unified Port District: job order contracting: pilot program.

The bill establishes a pilot program for the San Diego Unified Port District to use job order contracting as a procurement method, despite specific public contracting requirements for port districts. The program would allow the district to award contracts of up to $5 million under a single agreement and $1 million per job order. Initial contracts would be limited to 12 months, with possible extensions. The district would need to submit a report to the legislature by January 1, 2035, on the use of job order contracting. The program would expire on January 1, 2037. The bill makes legislative findings and declarations regarding the necessity of a special statute for the San Diego Unified Port District.
