. The commission shall do all of the following:
(a) After due deliberation and study, recommend for adoption by
the Controller, uniform construction cost accounting procedures for
implementation by public agencies in the performance of, or in
contracting for, construction on public projects. The procedures
shall, to the extent deemed feasible and practicable by the
commission, incorporate, or be consistent with construction cost
accounting procedures and reporting requirements utilized by state
and federal agencies on public projects, and be uniformly applicable
to all public agencies which elect to utilize the uniform procedures.
As part of its deliberations and review, the commission shall take
into consideration relevant provisions of the Office of Management
and Budget Circular A-76, as periodically revised.
(b) After due deliberation and study, recommend for adoption by
the Controller cost accounting procedures designed especially for
implementation by California cities with a population of less than
75,000. The procedures shall incorporate cost accounting and
reporting requirements deemed practicable and applicable to all
cities under 75,000 population which elect to utilize the uniform
procedures. For purposes of these cost accounting procedures, the
following shall apply:
(1) Cities with a population of less than 75,000 shall assume an
overhead rate equal to 20 percent of the total costs of a public
project, including the costs of material, equipment, and labor.
(2) Cities with a population of more than 75,000 may either
calculate an actual overhead rate or assume an overhead rate equal to
30 percent of the total costs of a public project, including the
costs of material, equipment, and labor.
(c) Recommend for adoption by the Controller, procedures and
standards for the periodic evaluation and adjustment, as necessary,
of the monetary limits specified in Section 22032.

with respect to its activities and operations, together with those
recommendations as it deems necessary.
