as set forth in Section 21200, et seq., of the
Public Contract Code.
(Prior code § 2711; Ord. 97-505 § 2, 1997)

with the provisions of the
Public Contract Code and criteria promulgated
from time to time by the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting
Commission (the "Commission").
(Prior code § 2712; Ord. 97-505 § 2, 1997)
When a public project is to be performed which is subject to the provisions of this chapter, a notice inviting informal bids shall be mailed to all contractors for the category of work to be bid, as shown on the list developed in accordance with Section
3.16.020, and to all construction trade journals as specified by the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission in accordance with Section 21204 of the
Public Contract Code. Additional contractors and/or construction trade journals may be noticed at the discretion of the city; provided, however:
a. If there
is no list of qualified contractors maintained by the city for the
particular category of work to be performed, the notice inviting bids
shall be sent only to the construction trade journals specified by
the Commission.
b. If the
product or service is proprietary in nature such that it can be obtained
only from a certain contractor or contractors, the notice inviting
informal bids may be sent exclusively to such contractor or contractors.
