SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 2269, Government Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Section 2269.060 to read as follows: |
|
|
Sec. 2269.060. PROHIBITION ON CERTAIN CONTRACTS. A |
|
|

|
|
authorized by this chapter, other than the job order contract |
|
|
method authorized under Subchapter I, may cover only a single |
|
|
integrated project. A governmental entity may not enter into a |
|
|
contract for aggregated projects at multiple locations. |
|
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|

|
|
otherwise solicits bids, proposals, offers, or qualifications or |
|

makes a similar solicitation on or after the effective date of this |
|
|
Act. A contract for which a governmental entity first advertises or |
|
|
otherwise solicits bids, proposals, offers, or qualifications or |
|
|
makes a similar solicitation before the effective date of this Act |
|
|
is governed by the law in effect on the date the advertisement or |
|
|
solicitation is made, and that law is continued in effect for that |
|
|
