REQUESTING THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO REISSUE REQUESTS FOR PROPOSALS FOR THE JOB ORDER CONTRACTING PROGRAM CONTRACTORS AND PREQUALIFIED SMALL CONTRACTORS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUITY OF THE FUTURE SCHOOLS NOW PROGRAM.

Summary

The concurrent resolution requests that the Department of Education issue new Requests for Proposals for both the Job Order Contracting program and its pre‑qualified small‑contractor pool so the Future Schools Now school‑repair initiative can continue without interruption. It also urges the department to begin procurement before current contracts expire, simplify principals’ ability to request repairs, and provide a status report to the Legislature. The goal is to help close a large backlog of school facility repairs while supporting local construction jobs.
