21131
. (a) All contracts for the construction of any unit of work,
except as provided in this article, estimated to cost in excess of
two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) shall be let to the lowest
responsible bidder in the manner provided in this article. The board
shall advertise by three placements in a daily newspaper of general
circulation or two insertions in a weekly newspaper of general
circulation published in the district inviting sealed proposals for
the construction of the work before any contract is made, and may let
by contract separately any part of the work. 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 the claims for
labor and material in connection therewith, the bonds to contain the
terms and conditions set forth in Title 3 (commencing with Section
9000) of Part 6 of Division 4 of the Civil Code, and to be subject to
the provisions of that title. The board may reject any bid, in which
case the board may advertise for new bids.
(b) In the event no proposals are received pursuant to advertisement therefor, or where the work consists of emergency work, the board of directors, by unanimous vote of all members present, 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).
(c) The district may purchase in the open market without advertisement for bids, materials and supplies for use in any work either under contract or by force account; provided, however, that materials and supplies for use in any new construction work or improvement, except work authorized and required under circumstances referred to in subdivision (b), 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.
(d) This section does not apply to a contract entered into with the United States or the State of California or other governmental agency under the authority of Section 3 of Chapter 2126 of the Statutes of 1959, or to a contract authorized by a vote of the electorate of the district.
