PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE

SECTION 21200-21204

21200. The provisions of this article shall apply to contracts by
the Yolo County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, as
provided for in Chapter 1657 of the Statutes of 1951.

21201. All contracts for the construction of any unit of work,
except as provided, estimated to cost in excess of ten thousand
dollars ($10,000) shall be let to the lowest responsible bidder in
the manner as provided.

21202. The board shall advertise by three insertions in a daily
newspaper of general circulation or two insertions in a weekly
newspaper of general circulation published in the district inviting
sealed proposals for the construction of the work before any contract
shall be made therefor, and may let by contract separately any part
of the work. The board shall require the successful bidder 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 the claims for labor and material in connection
therewith. The board may reject any and all bids.

21203. If all proposals are rejected or no proposals are received
pursuant to advertisement, or where the estimated cost of the work
does not exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000), or where the work
consists of channel protection, maintenance work, or emergency work,
the board, by unanimous vote of all members present, 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 may purchase in the open market, without
advertising for bids, materials and supplies for use in any work
either under contract or by force account.

21204. The provisions of this section have no application to a
contract entered into with the United States under the authority of
Section 3 of this act, or to a contract authorized by a vote of the
electorate of the district or zone.
