PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE

SECTION 20820-20826

20820. The provisions of this article shall apply to contracts by
public entities as provided for in the Community Facilities Law of
1911 pursuant to Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 4600) of Part 3
of Division 5 of the Health and Safety Code.

20823. Any contract for the construction of any improvement may be
let and entered into as other contracts for similar work are let and
entered into by the city. If the improvement includes the acquisition
of any property, the city may acquire such property by purchase,
gift, eminent domain, or otherwise.

20824. Instead of letting contracts for the improvement, the city
may itself construct or complete the improvement, and buy the
necessary materials, and employ the necessary labor.

20826. The city may contract with the federal government of the
United States or any branch of it, or with any county, city and
county, municipal corporation, district, or other public corporation,
or with any person, firm, or corporation, for the joint acquisition
or construction or use of any improvement to serve the district and
such other area as may be designated in the contract, when, in the
judgment of the governing body of the city, it is for the best
interests of the district so to do. Any such contract may provide for
the acquisition, construction, or maintenance of such improvement
and for the payment by or for the parties to the contract of such
proportionate part of the cost of such acquisition, construction, or
maintenance as may be stated in the contract. The payments shall be
made at such times and in such amounts as may be provided by said
contract. Any such contract may provide for the joint use of any
improvement upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by
the parties to the contract, and for the flowage, treatment, or
disposal of sewage, industrial waste, surface water, or storm water
from such area for each of the parties to the contract as may be
described in the contract.
Any city which has acquired or constructed, or which proposes to
acquire or construct, any improvement for the benefit of a district
may contract with the federal government of the United States or any
branch of it, or with any county, city and county, municipal
corporation, district, or other public corporation, or with any
person, firm, or corporation for the use of any such improvement by
any such county, city and county, municipal corporation, district, or
other public corporation, or for the flowage, treatment or disposal
of sewage, industrial waste, surface water, or storm water from any
area designated by such person, firm, or corporation so contracting,
upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in the contract.
