San Mateo County Transit District: job order contracting: pilot program.
- Establishes a pilot program allowing San Mateo Transit District to use job order contracting for repairs and maintenance.
- Limits individual job orders to $1 million and total contract awards to $5 million initially.
- Requires competitive bidding and compliance with prevailing wage laws and labor agreements.
- Expires on January 1, 2032 after requiring a program evaluation report to the Legislature.
Senator Becker's legislation authorizes the San Mateo County Transit District to implement job order contracting through a pilot program, introducing an alternative procurement method for repair and maintenance work. The program permits contracts up to $5 million for repetitive maintenance and repair projects, while prohibiting new construction work and requiring compliance with existing collective bargaining agreements.
The procurement process requires the transit district to prepare detailed solicitation documents including unit price catalogs and technical specifications. Contractors must submit competitive bids with adjustment factors to established unit prices, and identify any intended subcontractors. For projects under $250,000, the district may give preference to certified small businesses and disabled veteran-owned enterprises. Individual job orders cannot exceed $1 million, and contracts are limited to 12-month terms with the possibility of two annual renewals.
To prevent misuse, the legislation mandates independent cost estimates for each job order and prohibits splitting work to circumvent monetary caps. The district must monitor labor compliance, ensure payment of prevailing wages, and submit a comprehensive report to the Legislature by January 2030 evaluating the program's implementation. The pilot program automatically terminates on January 1, 2032, allowing lawmakers to assess its effectiveness before considering permanent adoption.
