21040.11 Project Construction

• Major capital outlay construction can be accomplished in three ways. All public works not specifically exempted are administered by the DGSDepartment of General Services. Upon approval of working drawings by the DOFDepartment Of Finance, they may authorize DGSDepartment of General Services to bid the project to private contractors. The lowest responsible bidder may then construct the project. The second method of construction utilizes IDLIndustrial Disability Leave. The IDLIndustrial Disability Leave utilizes a combination of State staff, trade union labor, and inmates to accomplish the capital outlay project. The IDLIndustrial Disability Leave requires the approval of DOFDepartment Of Finance, SPWB, and Prison Industries Board and is subject to the availability of resources. A third method that we now have available is under PCPenal Code 7000 which allows the CDCRCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to use new prison construction resources and processes.
