CA Codes (pcc:21130-21131)

21130.  The provisions of this article shall apply to contracts by
the Sonoma County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, as
provided for in Chapter 994 of the Statutes of 1949.



21131.  (a) All contracts for the construction of any unit of work,
except as provided in this article, estimated to cost in excess of
two thousand five hundred dollars (,500) shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder in the manner provided in this article.  The
board shall advertise by three placements in a daily newspaper of
general circulation or two insertions in a weekly newspaper of
general circulation published in the district inviting sealed
proposals for the construction of the work before any contract is
made, and may let by contract separately any part of the work.  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 the
claims for labor and material in connection therewith, the bonds to
contain the terms and conditions set forth in Title 15 (commencing
with Section 3082) of Part 4 of Division 3 of the Civil Code, and to
be subject to the provisions of that title.  The board may reject any
bid, in which case the board may advertise for new bids.
   (b) In the event no proposals are received pursuant to
advertisement therefor, or where the work consists of emergency work,
the board of directors, by unanimous vote of all members present,
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).
   (c) The district may purchase in the open market without
advertisement for bids, materials and supplies for use in any work
either under contract or by force account; provided, however, that
materials and supplies for use in any new construction work or
improvement, except work authorized and required under circumstances
referred to in subdivision (b), may not be purchased if the cost
exceeds two thousand five hundred dollars (,500), without
advertising for bids and awarding the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder.
   (d) This section does not apply to a contract entered into with
the United States or the State of California or other governmental
agency under the authority of Section 3 of Chapter 2126 of the
Statutes of 1959, or to a contract authorized by a vote of the
electorate of the district.
   (e) The district may rent or otherwise contract for equipment with
or without an operator and use it on works of the district, if the
contract is approved by the board.
