Fiscal Impact: Unknown, but potentially significant savings at the district level to the extent that (1) the district elects to use a best value procurement method, and (2) that the method realizes savings that would surpass potential increases in costs from not choosing the lowest bidder. This bill is permissive, and would also allow LAUSD to continue to choose the lowest responsible bidder. AB 1185 (Ridley-Thomas) Page 1 of ? Author Amendments: Removes the Legislative Analyst's Office from the reporting requirement and shifts the responsibility to an independent third part paid for by LAUSD. Provides other technical changes. -- END --
