Public contracts: bidders: cost overruns.

Existing law prohibits a state agency or department, as specified, from awarding a public works or purchase contract to a bidder or contractor who has been convicted in the preceding 5 years of violating a state or federal law respecting the employment of undocumented aliens, and prohibits such bidder or contractor from being eligible to bid for or receive a public works or purchase contract. This bill would require a bidder or contractor bidding on a state public works contract to include with the bid a report of all cost overruns on public works projects or purchase contracts previously awarded by the state to that bidder or contractor.
