Clc,..., OF SAN BERNAR~O - REQU~T FOR COUNCIL ACY'lON
STAFF REPORT
The proposed ordinance amends San Bernardino Municipal Code
Chapter 12.20 relating to public projects. This amendment is
necessitated by repeal of Government Code Sections 37901,
37902.1, 37903 and 37906, which are currently contained in
San Bernardino Municipal Code section 12.20.010, as laws
governing the City, concerning contracts awarded for public
projects. Concurrently with the repeal of the Government
Code sections, similar provisions were enacted in the Public
Contract Code.
section 12.20.010 of the proposed ordinance adopts these
similar provisions of the Public Contract Code relating to
public projects which previously had been made applicable by
adoption of sections in the Government Code; Section
12.20.020 modifying the phrase "public project", retains the
same language as currently in the code. The only substantial
change proposed is in Section 12.20.030 which increases the
expenditure from $4,000 to $5,000 for a public project which
must be contracted for and let to the lowest responsible
bidder after notice. Section 20162 of the Public Contract
Code provides for a $5,000 expenditure limitation.
The Legislative Review Committee recommended adoption or this
ordinance.
