. In the event of great emergency, including, but not limited
to, states of disaster defined in Section 8558 of the Government
Code, upon the majority vote of the board, the board may proceed at
once to replace or repair any and all bridges without adopting plans,
specifications, strain sheets, or working details and without
letting contracts or calling for bids. The work may be done by day
labor under the direction of the board or by contract, or by a
combination of the two. If done wholly or in part by contract, the
contractor shall be paid the actual cost of the use of machinery and
tools and of material and labor expended by him or her in doing the
work, plus not more than 15 percent to cover all profits,
supervision, and any other expense. No more than the lowest current
market prices shall be paid for materials.
