21381. All contracts for any improvement or unit of work, except as
provided in this article, estimated to cost in excess of five
thousand dollars ($5,000) shall be let to the lowest responsible
bidder in the manner provided in this article. The board of
supervisors of the district shall advertise 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 of the
improvement or work before any contract shall be made, and may let by
contract separately any part of said work or improvement. 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 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 where 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 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.
