AB 1471, Eng. Procurement: Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority.
The County Transportation Commissions Act provides for the
creation of county transportation commissions and authorities in 5
counties, including the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority, with specified powers and duties relative
to transportation planning, programming, and operations. Existing law
specifies certain procurement procedures applicable to these
agencies, with certain procedures applicable solely to the Los
Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
Existing law generally provides that purchase by the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan Transportation Authority or another county
transportation commission of all supplies, equipment, and materials,
and the construction of all facilities and works, when the
expenditure required exceeds $25,000, shall be by contract let to the
lowest responsible bidder, with certain exceptions. Existing law
requires the authority to obtain a minimum of 3 quotations when the
expected expenditure exceeds $2,500 and is not more than $100,000.
This bill would increase that threshold to $3,000. The bill would
delete a duplicate provision relating to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority in a provision of the Public
Contract Code governing the contracting procedures of the Sacramento
Regional Transit District. The bill would delete an unnecessary
reference to the authority in a provision of the Public Contract Code
governing the contracting procedures of 2 transit development boards
in San Diego County.
This bill would also authorize the Los Angeles County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority to purchase supplies, equipment, and
materials from a public auction sale using the procedures established
for all other participants in the auction. The bill would authorize
the authority to participate in a cooperative procurement agreement
with other public agencies under specified conditions.
