• On Monday, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 793, authored by state Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, enabling San Mateo County to take advantage of a process that allows public entities to ensure the best value in construction project contracts — a move that would expedite the county’s five-year, $444 million capital improvement plan.
A related provision of SB 793 allows three special districts — the Peninsula Health Care District, the Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority and the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District — to use the design-build method to carry out public construction, repair and restoration projects. Contracting with the same firm to design and build such projects is typical among state and local government entities and schools. But the process, which saves money and time, is not as prevalent among special districts, as many have yet to be granted authority to contract with a single firm to design construction projects and then execute those plans, according to Hill’s office.
