California AB1658 amends the Public Contract Code to set limits on change orders for public construction contracts in Los Angeles and Santa Clara.

California AB1658 modifies the Public Contract Code to establish specific limits on change orders for public construction contracts in Los Angeles and Santa Clara counties. For Los Angeles County, the bill allows the board of supervisors to set limits on change orders based on the original contract cost, with a maximum of $400,000 for contracts over $25 million and $750,000 for those over $50 million, adjusted annually for inflation. Santa Clara County can set similar limits. The bill also mandates measures to prevent fraud and ensure accountability when authority is delegated.
