DIVISION 2. GENERAL PROVISIONS [1100 - 22355]
ARTICLE 60.3. Job Order Contracting
Section 20919.11

In order to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse, the unified school district adopting job order contracting shall do all of the following:

(a) Prepare for each individual job order developed under a job order contract an independent unified school district estimate. 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 unified 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 unified 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 unified school district may not issue a job order until the job order has been reviewed and approved by at least two levels of management.

(c) Once a job order has been issued, all documents pertaining to preparation and approval of the job order, including the independent unified school district estimate, shall be available for public review.

(Added by Stats. 2003, Ch. 889, Sec. 1. Effective January 1, 2004. Repealed as of December 1, 2012, pursuant to Section 20919.15.)
