         1. School districts may enter into interlocal or interagency agreements with
           educational service districts for construction management services, value
           engineering reviews, constructability reviews, or building commissioning
           without seeking competitive bids if, but only if, the project's estimated cost is
           less than $100,000.
         2. School districts are required to solicit competitive bids in order to engage in
           other public works, even if the school district acts through an interlocal or
           interagency agreement with an educational service district.

 Dear Representative Caldier:

       By email previously acknowledged, you requested an opinion on a question that we
paraphrase and divide into two questions for clarity:

               1. May a school district enter into an interlocal or interagency agreement
                 with an educational service district for construction management
                 services, value engineering reviews, constructability reviews, or
                 building commissioning  without seeking competitive bids?
               2. May a school district enter into an interlocal or interagency agreement
                 with an educational service district for other public works without
                 seeking competitive bids?
