City of Sunnyvale Measure G: City Charter Amendment - Public Works Contracting
What does this measure do?
Measure G changes Sunnyvale's charter so the city can hire one company to both design and build a public project, or use other state-allowed methods, instead of always taking the lowest separate construction bid. It does not change taxes; it changes how the city picks builders for projects.

The City Council can use other state-allowed ways to hire builders, such as one design-and-build contract or picking firms on qualifications, and set rules for them by city law.

The city must keep hiring designers and builders separately and give construction work to the lowest qualified bidder.
