Bill > S1042

This bill amends existing law to revise provisions regarding professional service contracts. It requires public agencies and political subdivisions to select professional engineering, architectural, landscape architecture, construction management, and land surveying services based on qualifications and demonstrated competence, and to negotiate contracts at fair and reasonable prices. The bill raises the threshold for these requirements from $25,000 to $50,000, and outlines a detailed process for soliciting qualifications, ranking respondents, and negotiating contracts. It also allows public agencies to establish preapproved lists of qualified providers and to negotiate extended or new contracts with providers of associated or phased projects.
