AN ORDINANCE OF THE MORAGA-ORINDA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT AMENDING THE PURCHASING AND CONTRACTING PROCEDURES AND AUTHORITIES TO AUTHORIZE USE OF DESIGN-BUILD AND PROGRESSIVE DESIGN-BUILD PROCESSES

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSED ORDINANCE:
The District previously adopted Ordinance No. 24-03 establishing purchasing and contracting procedures. Ordinance 26-05 would amend those procedures to authorize the use of design-build and progressive design-build project delivery methods, where permitted by the California Public Contract Code. These additional project delivery methods would provide the District with greater flexibility in delivering public works projects, depending on the circumstances and needs of a particular project. The ordinance also requires the Fire Chief to adopt administrative policies and procedures to implement this authorization. If adopted, the Board will subsequently consider conflict of interest policies as required by the Public Contract Code.

Interested parties are invited to submit written comments regarding the proposed ordinance prior to the meeting or to participate during the meeting.

Written comments may be submitted electronically to the District Clerk at info@mofd.org. Comments may also be submitted by U.S. Mail to:

Moraga, CA 94556

Written comments must be received no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 14, 2026.
