20663. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature to enable the Los Angeles Community College District to use cost-effective options for building and modernizing community college facilities. The Legislature has recognized the merits of the best value procurement method process in the past by authorizing its use for projects undertaken by the University of California.
(b) The Legislature also finds and declares that community college districts using the best value procurement method require a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of each participant in the best value process. As reflected in the University of California report to the Legislature, the benefits of a best value procurement method include a reduction in contract delays, change orders, and claims producing a savings in both contract costs and administration.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide an optional, alternative procedure for bidding and building community college construction projects that can be used by the Los Angeles Community College District as a pilot program.

(a) (1) The community college district shall evaluate the qualifications of the bidders based solely upon the criteria set forth in the solicitation documents, and shall assign a qualification score to each bid.

(A) Relevant experience.
(B) Safety record.
(C) Other factors identified in the request for proposal.
(b) To determine the best value contractor, the community college district shall divide each bidder’s price by its qualifications score. A preference of up to 5 percent shall be applied to the price of a bid submitted by a small business, as defined by the community college district, before dividing the bidder’s price by its qualification score. The lowest resulting cost per quality point will represent the best value bid. The award of the contract shall be made to the bidder whose bid is determined, by the community college district in writing, to be the best value to the community college district.
(c) The community college district shall issue a written decision of its contract award or else reject all bids.
(d) Upon issuance of a contract award, the community college district shall publicly announce its award identifying the project, the project price, the best value contractor to which the award is made, as well as the prices, qualification scores, and resulting costs per qualification point for all responsive bidders.

The Legislature has previously authorized the use of this alternative and optional procedure only for school districts.
(b) Districts should be able to utilize cost-effective options for the delivery of public works projects, in accordance with the national trend, which include authorizations in California, to allow public entities to utilize job order contracts as a project delivery method.
(c) The benefits of a job order contract project delivery system include accelerated completion of the projects, cost savings, and reduction of construction contracting complexity for the district.
(d) The job order contracting approach should be used for the purposes of reducing project cost and expediting project completion.
