California AB1860 amends Education Code to allow school districts and county superintendents to use design-build contracts for school facilities.

California AB1860 amends the Education Code to allow school districts and county superintendents of schools to procure design-build contracts for school facilities projects. These contracts can be for projects exceeding one million dollars, awarded based on either the lowest bid or best value. The county superintendent of schools has exclusive authority to award these contracts on behalf of county offices of education and county boards of education. The bill also allows for bundled solicitations for shade structure projects, provided the total value exceeds one million dollars.
