BILL NUMBER:  AB 294
  VETOED	DATE: 09/29/2012




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 294 without my signature.

This bill authorizes Caltrans to use design-sequencing as the
contracting method for eight new construction projects.

Caltrans has already constructed nearly 20 projects using
design-sequencing contracts and is currently evaluating whether the
state saved money.  To be sure we get the most from our construction
dollars, we should let Caltrans complete its evaluation before
authorizing more contracts.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
