Public contracts: California State University: bidding procedures.

Existing law authorizes the trustees of the California State University to enter into contracts for public works projects, as provided. Existing law requires the trustees, for certain contracts estimated to exceed the value of a minor capital outlay project, to obtain financial information from prospective bidders by means of a standard form questionnaire and financial statement. Existing law prohibits the trustees from furnishing proposal forms to any person who is required to submit and has not submitted a questionnaire and financial statement for prequalification at least 5 days prior to the date fixed for publicly opening sealed bids and been prequalified for at least one day prior to that date. This bill would revise that requirement by changing the time in which a person has to submit the questionnaire and financial statement for prequalification to 10 business days prior to the date fixed for publicly opening sealed bids and require any person to have been prequalified for at least one business day prior to that date.
