(a) This article provides for a best value procurement program for county construction projects in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000).

(b) The board of supervisors of a county shall let any contract for a construction project pursuant to this article to the bidder representing the best value or else reject all bids.

(c) The bidder may be selected on the basis of the best value to the county. In order to implement this method of selection, the board of supervisors shall adopt and publish procedures and required criteria that ensure that all selections are conducted in a fair and impartial manner. These procedures shall conform to Sections 20155.3 to 20155.6, inclusive, and shall be mandatory for a county that chooses to participate in the pilot program.

(d) If the board of supervisors of a county deems it to be in the best interest of the county, the board of supervisors, on the refusal or failure of the successful bidder for a project to execute a tendered contract, may award it to the bidder with the second lowest best value score, as determined in accordance with subdivision (c) of Section 20155.5.

Contract values shall be adjusted annually to reflect the percentage change in the California Consumer Price Index.
