SECTION 21240-21241

21240. The provisions of this article shall apply to contracts by
the Contra Costa County Storm Drainage District, as provided for in
Chapter 1532 of the Statutes of 1953.

21241. All contracts for any improvement or unit of work when the
cost, according to the estimate of the engineer, will exceed two
thousand dollars ($2,000), 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 or shall be divided into severable parts, or both, according to
the best interests of the zone. The board shall call for bids and
advertise the call pursuant to Section 6066 of the Government Code in
the district inviting sealed proposals for the construction or
performance of the improvement or work before any contract is made.
The call for bids shall state whether the work is to be performed as
a unit or shall be divided into severable specific parts, or both, as
stated in the call. The board may let the work by single contract 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 no proposals are received
pursuant to advertisement, or the estimated cost of the work does not
exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000), or the work consists of
emergency work, the board of supervisors may, without advertising for
bids, have the work done by day labor, under the direction of the
board, by contract, or by a combination of the two. 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 board may acquire in the open market, without advertising for
bids, materials, equipment, and supplies for use in any work or for
any other purpose; provided, however, that materials and supplies for
use in any new construction work or improvement, except work
referred to in the preceding sentence, may not be purchased if the
cost exceeds two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), without
advertising for bids and awarding the contract to the lowest
responsible bidder.
