20919.20. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a) It is the intent of the Legislature, in enacting this article, to demonstrate an alternative and optional procedure for bidding of public works projects that is applicable only to school districts. The Legislature has previously authorized the use of this alternative and optional procedure only for the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is using the procedure in conjunction with its project stabilization agreement.
(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 unified school district.
(d) The job order contracting approach should be used for the purposes of reducing project cost and expediting project completion.
(e) The availability of job order contracting as a project delivery method will not preclude the use of traditional methods of project delivery if a traditional method results in higher cost savings.
(f) It is the intent of the Legislature that job order contracts be competitively bid and awarded to the bidders providing the most qualified responsive bids. It is further the intent of the Legislature that school districts use the job order contract process pursuant to this article only if the school district has entered into a project labor agreement that meets the requirements of Section 2500 for all its public works projects.

The estimate will be prepared prior to the receipt of the contractor’s offer to perform work and will be compared to the contractor’s proposed price to determine the reasonableness of that price before issuance of any job order. The basis for any adjustments to the school district estimate is to be documented. In the event that the contractor’s proposal for a given job order is found to be unreasonable, not cost effective, or undesirable, the school district is under no obligation to issue the job order to the job order contractor, and may instead utilize any other available procurement procedures.
(b) The school district shall not issue a job order until the job order has been reviewed and approved by the appropriate level of management.
