Summary

Existing law creates the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority with various powers and duties relative to transportation projects and services and the operation of public transit in the County of Santa Clara. Existing law authorizes the authority, among other things, with the approval of the Department of Transportation, to provide funding for the repair and maintenance of state highways within the boundaries of the authority. This bill would revise numerous statutes related to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority to change references from "authority" to the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and various other references of "authority" or "district" to the VTA. The bill would make other nonsubstantive changes in these statutes and repeal obsolete provisions. The bill would also authorize the board of directors of the VTA to include mayors of cities within the county, as specified.   Existing law requires contracts of the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority for the purchase of supplies, equipment, and materials to be let to the lowest responsible bidder or to the bidder who submits a proposal that provides best value, as defined, if the amount of the contract exceeds $100,000 and requires the authority to obtain a minimum of 3 quotations for those contracts between $2,500 and $100,000. This bill would instead impose those bidding requirements with respect to the authority's contracts for the purchase of supplies, equipment, and materials if the amount of the contract exceeds $150,000 and would require a minimum of 3 quotations for those contracts between $3,500 and $150,000.
