Section 16352 Of Article 1. General From California Government Code >> Division 4. >> Title 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2. >> Article 1.
16352
. Notwithstanding Section 13340, any augmentation of an
appropriation for a state public works project from the General Fund
or any other fund in the State Treasury from which a capital outlay
appropriation has been authorized for acquisition, design,
construction, or equipping of a state public works project is hereby
appropriated, without regard to fiscal years. The augmentation shall
be in an amount sufficient to provide for payment of those public
works projects where the project cannot proceed because the bids
received are in excess of the estimate, notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 10125 of the Public Contract Code, or the
estimate otherwise exceeds the amount available. Augmentations for a
state public works project are subject to the limitations in Sections
13332.11 and 13332.19 and shall be made pursuant to executive orders
of the Director of Finance upon approval of the State Public Works
Board.
