§ 10701 Definitions Project Service Contract

Public Contract Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

This law tells us what the words “project,” “service contract,” and “trustees” mean when the state university does building or repair work.

Key Takeaways

•A “project” is any building, fixing, painting, or improvement work on state property, including CSU land, and can be paid with public money.
•A “service contract” is any agreement for services like design, engineering, or testing that helps a project, but isn’t the actual building work.
•“Trustees” are the California State University board members and anyone they choose to act for them.

Example

The university wants to add a new science lab on campus and hires a company to design the building plans.

The actual building of the lab is called a “project,” while hiring the designer is a “service contract.” The university’s board of trustees are the people who approve it.
