(b) Job order contracts may be executed for an initial contract term of no more than 12 months, with the option of extending or renewing the job order contract for two 12-month periods. The term of the job order contract shall be for the contract term or whenever the maximum value of the contract is achieved, whichever is less. All extensions or renewals shall be priced as provided in the request for bids. The extension or renewal shall be mutually agreed to by the unified school district and the job order contractor.

The job order shall be based on a project scope of work prepared by the unified school district as well as a proposal from the job order contractor who is awarded the job order contract. No single job order may exceed one million dollars ($1,000,000).

(d) It is unlawful to split or separate into smaller job orders any project for the purpose of evading the cost limitation provisions of this chapter.
