No. 2887

Introduced by Assembly Member Bonta

February 21, 2020

An act to amend Sections 3501 of the Public Contract Code, relating to public contracts.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2887, as introduced, Bonta. Public contracts: Buy Clean California Act: eligible materials.

Existing law, the Buy Clean California Act, requires the Department of General Services, by January 1, 2021, to establish, and publish in the State Contracting Manual, in a department management memorandum, or on the department’s internet website a maximum acceptable global warming potential for each category of eligible materials, as defined. The act requires an awarding authority, for contracts entered into on and after July 1, 2021, to include in a specification for bids for an eligible project that the facility-specific global warming potential for any eligible material does not exceed the maximum acceptable global warming potential for that material, and prohibits a bidder for a contract from installing any eligible materials on the project until a facility-specific Environmental Product Declaration is submitted, except as specified.

This bill would revise the definition of eligible materials to additionally include gypsum board, insulation, carpet, carpet tiles, and ceiling tiles.
