SB 6322 - DIGEST

     Provides that public bodies may utilize a job order contract for public works projects when:  (1) A public body has made a determination that the use of job order contracts will benefit the public by providing an effective means of reducing the total lead-time and cost for public works projects or property maintenance or repair required at public facilities through the use of unit price books and work orders by eliminating time-consuming, costly aspects of the traditional public works process, which require separate contracting actions for each small project;

     (2) the work order to be issued for a particular project does not exceed two hundred thousand dollars; and

     (3) less than twenty percent of the dollar value of the work order consists of items of work not contained in the unit price book.
