LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 541, as amended, Duvall. Public contracts: claims: arbitration
of contract disputes.
Existing law provides for the resolution of public works
construction claims, as defined, arising between a contractor and a
local agency. It establishes specified procedures for the resolution
of these claims, including civil action, mediation, and arbitration.
This bill would allow a public agency and a contractor to mutually
agree to resolve a claim through independent arbitration.
