14150. When requested in writing by the Federal Highway
Administration, the Maritime Commission, the Army, the Air Force, or
the Navy, the department and each division thereof may perform any
engineering, architectural, construction, maintenance, or mechanical
work for, or on behalf of, the United States if such work is to be
completely financed by federal funds, except for general
administrative expense. The department may enter into agreements with
the authorized officials of the United States for the performance of
any such work.
Any agreement providing for such work to be done by the Department
of General Services, the Department of Water Resources, or the
Department of Boating and Waterways shall be subject to the approval
of the Department of Finance.

14151. Any architectural or construction work on buildings shall be
limited to projects on property owned or controlled by the State.

14152. In the performance of any such federally financed work the
department may adopt any procedure as to the letting of contracts
for, the conduct of, or the payment for, the work, that is requested
by the authorized agents of the federal agencies designated in
Section 14150, or required by federal laws, rules, or regulations. In
the absence of any such requirement or request, such work shall be
performed pursuant to the laws of this State.

14153. As to such work to be performed by the department, the
department and the California Transportation Commission may do any
and all things in connection therewith as may be done in connection
with state highways and may acquire therefor, pursuant to state law,
any necessary real or personal property, or interest therein.

14154. In addition to the purposes for which money is appropriated
to the department or any division thereof, all of such money or so
much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appropriated and may be
expended by the department for the performance of such work. Such
expenditures shall be limited to those items for which the Government
of the United States has agreed to reimburse the State in full,
except for general administrative expenses which shall be chargeable
to the funds appropriated for the support or administration of the
division doing the work. Such expenditures, to the extent to which
the United States is obligated to reimburse the State, shall be
considered as temporary advancements for the performance of such work
and shall not be considered as expenditures of state funds. Such
expenditures shall be excluded in making the computations required by
Article 2, Chapter 3, Part 1, Division 3 of this title. Money
received from the Government of the United States as reimbursements
for such expenditures shall be deposited in the State Treasury to the
credit of the fund from which the advancements were made.

of Transportation as to work within its jurisdiction, the Department
