                        FEBRUARY 18, 2010

   An act to amend Section 10764 of the Public Contract Code,
relating to public contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2075, as introduced, Committee on Higher Education. Public
contracts: California State University: bidding procedures.
   Existing law authorizes the trustees of the California State
University to enter into contracts for public works projects, as
provided. Existing law requires the trustees, for certain contracts
estimated to exceed the value of a minor capital outlay project, to
obtain financial information from prospective bidders by means of a
standard form questionnaire and financial statement. Existing law
prohibits the trustees from furnishing proposal forms to any person
who is required to submit and has not submitted a questionnaire and
financial statement for prequalification at least 5 days prior to the
date fixed for publicly opening sealed bids and been prequalified
for at least one day prior to that date.
   This bill would revise that requirement by changing the time in
which a person has to submit the questionnaire and financial
statement for prequalification to 10 days prior to the date fixed for
publicly opening sealed bids.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 10764 of the Public Contract Code is amended to
read:
   10764.  The trustees shall furnish to each bidder a standard
proposal form, which, when filled out and executed, may be submitted
as the bid. Bids not presented on forms so furnished shall be
disregarded. The trustees shall not furnish proposal forms to any
person who is required to submit and has not submitted a
questionnaire and financial statement for prequalification at least
 five   10 days prior to the date fixed for
publicly opening sealed bids and been prequalified for at least one
day prior to that date.
