Design-build contracts: labor compliance program: exemptions.

Existing law requires public entities to comply with certain procedures in soliciting and evaluating bids and awarding contracts for the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or improvement of any public structure, building, road, or other public improvement. Existing law authorizes school district governing boards, the governing boards of specified community college districts and community college facility construction projects, certain cities, certain counties, and transit operators, to enter into design-build contracts, as specified. Existing law provides that, for purposes of these provisions, the "safety record" of a bidder on these design-build contracts is deemed acceptable if it meets certain standards or if the bidder is party to an alternative dispute resolution system, as specified. This bill would delete the provision that a bidder's "safety record" is deemed acceptable if the bidder is party to an alternative dispute resolution system.
