Existing law, except as specified, prohibits any state agency from expending funds appropriated for design-build projects until the Department of Finance and the State Public Works Board have approved performance criteria for the project. This bill would include among the exceptions to those provisions amounts appropriated for projects at the Salton Sea. Existing law requires either the Director of General Services or the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to notify the State Public Works Board regarding the method to be used for selecting a design-build entity, prior to advertising the design-build project. This bill would, for purposes of projects at the Salton Sea, instead require the Director of the Department of Water Resources to notify the California Water Commission regarding the method to be used for selecting a design-build entry, prior to advertising a design-build project. The bill would make other conforming changes.
