CA Codes (pcc:21090-21091)

21090.  The provisions of this article shall apply to contracts by
the Riverside County Flood Control and Water Conservation District,
as provided for in Chapter 1122 of the Statutes of 1945.



21091.  All contracts for any improvement or unit of work, except as
otherwise provided in this act, estimated to cost in excess of
fifteen thousand dollars (,000) shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder in the manner provided in this article.  The board
of supervisors of the district shall advertise by three insertions
in a daily newspaper of general circulation or two insertions in a
weekly newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the
district inviting sealed proposals for the construction of the
improvement or work before any contract is made, and may let by
contract separately any part of the work or improvement.  The board
shall require the successful bidder to file with the board good and
sufficient bonds to be approved by the board conditioned upon the
faithful performance of the contract and upon the payment of their
claims for labor and material.  The bonds shall contain the terms and
conditions set forth in Sections 10223 and 10224 of the Public
Contract Code and Section 3248 of the Civil Code and be subject to
those sections.  The board shall also have the right to reject any
bid.  If all proposals are rejected or no proposals are received
pursuant to advertisement, or where the estimated cost of the work
does not exceed fifteen thousand dollars (,000), or the work
consists of channel protection, maintenance work, or emergency work,
the board of supervisors may, without advertising for bids, have the
work done by force account.  In case of an emergency, if notice for
bids to let contracts will not be given, the board shall comply with
Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 22050).  The district may
purchase in the open market, without advertising for bids, materials
and supplies for use in any improvement or unit of work either under
contract or by force account.
