Our highest priority in the California Legislature is to retain the status quo on force account limits to ensure that more public work goes out to the private sector. CIFAC’s record of 13 pieces of legislation, that were signed into law to help the industry and clarify contracting rules for public agencies, was enhanced in 2016 by our success in supporting bills that made the process known as “Lease lease‐back” in public school construction a more fair and transparent alternative bidding method. Our support of transparency legislation in the 2016 session will help our Regional Compliance Managers gain easier access to public documents and records which is always a challenge.
