Title
Court Facilities | Conflict of Interest Policy for Design-Build Projects (Action Required)
body
Summary
The Court Facilities Advisory Committee recommends adoption of a conflict of interest policy governing the ability of a person or entity seeking to perform services for the Judicial Council on a design-build project to submit a proposal as a design-build entity, or to join a design-build team. Assembly Bill 143 (Stats. 2021, ch. 79), enacted on July 16, 2021, reauthorized the Judicial Council to utilize the design-build delivery method for its courthouse construction program. The conflict of interest policy shall apply to consultants and contractors for design-build projects authorized under article 7.1, Superior Court Design-Build Projects (Gov. Code §§ 70398-70398.7).
Recommendation
The Court Facilities Advisory Committee recommends that the Judicial Council, effective November 19, 2021, adopt the Conflict of Interest Policy for Design-Build Projects. The proposed policy is included as Attachment A to this report.
