THE VALLECITOS WATER DISTRICT ADOPTING AN
ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT-OF-INTEREST POLICY
COVERING DESIGN-BUILD PROJECTS
WHEREAS, Vallecitos Water District ("District") is a county water district established
and organized pursuant to California Water Code§ 30000 et seq.; and
WHEREAS, California Public Contract Code § 22171 et seq. and § 22185 et seq.
authorize local agencies to utilize the progressive design-build project delivery method and
California Public Contract Code § 22160 et seq. authorizes local agencies to utilize the
traditional design-build project delivery method; and
WHEREAS, design-build and progressive design-build are project delivery methods in
which both the design and construction of a project are procured from a single entity, called
the design-builder. The design-builder is selected based on consideration of certain factors
such as qualifications, experience and cost; and
WHEREAS, California Public Contract Code §§ 22162(c), 22171.5 and 22185.2
require a local agency entering into design-build and progressive design-build contracts to
develop guidelines for a standard organizational conflict-of-interest policy regarding the ability
of consultants or contractors to submit a proposal as a design-build entity or join a design-build
team; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the organizational conflict-of-interest policy is to establish
standards and procedures to prevent prohibited conflicts-of-interests and allow for the
potential resolution of any conflicts-of-interest during the procurement of design-builders and
during the performance of contracts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors of the Vallecitos
Water District approve and adopt the Organizational Conflict-of-Interest Policy Covering
