Section 10710 Of Article 1. General Provisions From California Public Contract Code >> Division 2. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 2.5. >> Article 1.
10710
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter,
the trustees may award annual contracts that do not exceed three
million dollars ($3,000,000) for repair or other repetitive work, or
renovation or modification, to be done according to unit prices. The
contracts shall be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder, and
shall be based primarily on plans and specifications for typical
work. No project shall be performed under a contract of this type
except by order of the trustees. No annual contracts may be awarded
under these provisions for capital outlay projects, where the total
cost of the project exceeds the value of a minor capital outlay
project for which, pursuant to Section 10108, the services of the
Department of General Services are not required and a state agency or
department is authorized to carry out its own project.
(b) For purposes of this section, "unit price" means the amount
paid for a single unit of an item of work, and "typical work" means a
work description applicable universally or applicable to a large
number of individual projects, as distinguished from work
specifically described with respect to an individual project.
