Regents of the University of California, is such that the application
of all of the provisions of this chapter in connection with that
work is not required, and the cost of the project does not exceed six
hundred forty thousand dollars ($640,000), the regents shall solicit
bids in writing and shall award the work to the lowest responsible
bidder or reject all bids.
