The purpose of this chapter is to provide for an alternative method for the bidding of public works projects, as authorized by Public Contract Code section 22000 and following.
The city council elects to become subject to the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Act, the procedures set forth in the Act, and to the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Commission’s policies and procedures.
A. Commission means the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission established under Public Contract Code section 22010.
B. Director means the director of public works and community development.
C. Facility means a building, plant, structure, real property, street, highway or other public work improvement.
D. Formal bidding procedures means those procedures applicable to a public project of more than $200,000, as set forth in PHMC § 11.10.070.
E. Informal bidding procedures means those procedures applicable to a public project of $60,000 to $200,000, as set forth in PHMC § 11.10.060.
2. Painting or repainting of any publicly owned, leased or operated facility.
A. Implementation. The director is responsible for implementing this chapter. The director shall prepare written policies to implement this chapter.
B. A public project of between $60,000 and $200,000 may be let to contract by the informal bidding procedures set forth in PHMC § 11.10.060.
C. A public project of more than $200,000 shall be let to contract by the formal bidding procedures set forth in PHMC § 11.10.070, except as otherwise provided in the Act or in this chapter.
A public project of between $60,000 and $200,000 may be let to contract by the informal bidding procedures in this section.
2. There is no list of qualified contractors maintained by the city for the particular category of work to be performed.
The city, in its discretion, may notify additional contractors, construction trade journals, or builders’ exchanges.
The notice shall be mailed not less than 10 calendar days before bids are due. The notice shall describe the project in general terms and how to obtain more detailed information about the project, and state the time and place for the submission of bids.
B. Opening of bids and award of contract. At the time provided in the notice, all bids timely received shall be opened. Unless all bids are rejected, the contract shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder.
The city manager is authorized to award contracts up to $200,000 as long as the project is in the budget and the contract is approved as to form by the city attorney. The city manager may approve a project in an emergency situation when funds are available and the contract is approved as to form by the city attorney. (See also PHMC § 11.10.100, Emergency procedure.) If a project between $60,000 and $200,000 is not in the budget and is not an emergency, the contract is awarded only by the city council.
A. General. A public project of more than $200,000 shall be let to contract by the formal bidding procedures.
2. Mailed to all construction trade journals identified under PHMC § 11.10.050 at least 30 calendar days before the bid opening date.
3. Have the project done by force account without further complying with this chapter. In electing this option, the city council shall first adopt a resolution by a four-fifths vote, declaring that the project can be performed more economically by the employees of the city.
B. Options. If a contract is awarded, it shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. If two or more bids are the same and the lowest, the city may accept the one it chooses.
Whenever the city elects to have its own forces perform work on any public project, the city shall follow cost accounting procedures established by the commission.
