Blog Correction on Job Order Contracting Legislation

This is a correction to my earlier blog posting of April 2, 2012 regarding the Job Order Contracting bill that was approved by the Legislature.  The final version deleted some of the earlier provisions that had been proposed.  The following is a summary of the actual changes.  I'm sorry for the inaccurate information in my earlier blog posting.

Changes to Job Order Contracting:  Engrossed House Bill 2328 unanimously passed both the Senate and House, and was signed by the Governor on March 29, 2012.
  • Authorized Agencies:  Permits the following additional agencies to use Job Order Contracting: regional universities, The Evergreen State College, and Sound Transit as a regional transit authority. 
  • Work Order Threshold:  Increases the maximum amount of each work order from $300,000 to $350,000.
  • Reporting Year:  Standardize reporting to be based on a July 1st to June 30th year, rather than a contract year basis in order to make aggregation of statewide reports easier.
