Summary

The Local Agency Public Construction Act sets forth the requirements for competitive bidding on various types of contracts awarded by local agencies. The act requires county drainage districts to let any contract for the doing of work and furnishing material to the lowest responsible bidder. The act governs levee district contracts in excess of $2,500 for the construction or repair of any levees or associated works, as specified. The act requires reclamation district contracts for any improvement or unit of work, or for materials or supplies, in excess of $25,000 to be let to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. The act, for certain projects and purchases of materials for projects of a reclamation district, authorizes the reclamation district to exceed those limitations to a maximum of $50,000, if approved by landowners of the district, as prescribed (landowner approval) . This bill would establish a $50,000 threshold amount for county drainage districts for the requirement to let to the lowest responsible bidder. The bill would increase the threshold amount for subjecting levee districts to the act from $2,500 to $50,000. The bill would increase the lowest responsible bidder threshold amount for reclamation district contracts from $25,000 to $50,000 and would delete the landowner approval provisions.
