SECTION 21100-21102

21100. The provisions of this article shall apply to contracts by
the San Luis Obispo County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District, as provided for in Chapter 1294 of the Statutes of 1945.

21101. All contracts for any improvement or unit of work, when the
cost, according to the estimate of the engineer, will exceed five
thousand dollars ($5,000), shall be let to the lowest responsible
bidder or bidders in the manner provided in this article. The board
shall first determine whether the contract shall be let as a single
unit for the whole of the work, or shall be divided into parts, or
both, according to the best interests of the district. The board
shall call for bids and advertise the call by three insertions in a
daily newspaper of general circulation or two insertions in a weekly
newspaper of general circulation printed and published in the
district inviting sealed proposals for the construction or
performance of the improvement or work before any contract shall be
made. The call for bids shall state whether the work is to be
performed as a unit or is to be divided into severable specific
parts, or both, as stated in the call. The board may let the work by
single contract for the whole as a unit or it may divide the work
into severable parts by separate contracts, as stated in the call,
according to the best interests of the district. The board shall
require the successful bidder or bidders 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 their
claims for labor and material, 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 shall also have the right to
reject any bid. In the event all proposals are rejected or no
proposals are received pursuant to advertisement, or the estimated
cost of the work does not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000), or
the work consists of channel protection, maintenance work, or
emergency work, the board of supervisors 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). The
district shall have the power to purchase in the open market without
advertising for bids, materials and supplies for use in any work
either under contract or by force account.
