Los Angeles Unified School District: best value procurement.

Existing law establishes a pilot program authorizing the Los Angeles Unified School District to use, before December 31, 2020, a best value procurement method for bid evaluation and selection for public projects that exceed $1,000,000. The pilot program establishes various requirements applicable to the use of the best value procurement method under the authorization. Existing law requires the school district to submit an interim and final report to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature on the use of the best value procurement method as provided and in accordance with a specified schedule. These provisions are repealed on January 1, 2021. This bill would extend the pilot program authorization for the school district to use the best value procurement method for projects before December 31, 2025, delete the interim report deadline, extend the remaining report deadline, and extend the repeal date for the pilot program to January 1, 2026. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Los Angeles Unified School District.
