AB 1409 California Assembly · 2009-2010 Regular Session

Public contracts: county highways: work authorizations.

Summary
Existing law sets forth procedures pursuant to which work being done by contract on county highways may be done. Existing law specifies that in any county that has appointed a road commissioner, or in any county that has abolished the office of road commissioner, as prescribed, the board of supervisors of the county may authorize the road commissioner, or a registered civil engineer under the direction of the county director of transportation, to have any work upon county highways done under his or her supervision and direction. In this connection, existing law provides that the work on those contracts may be done by: (1) letting a contract covering both work and material, as provided; (2) purchasing the material and letting a contract for the performance of the work, as provided; or (3) purchasing the material and having the work done by day labor, in which case advertising for bids is not required. This bill would revise that provision authorizing the work on those county highway contracts to be done by (1) purchasing the material and having the work done by day labor, as defined, only after advertising and requesting bids, as provided, and the board passing a resolution making a specified finding; or (2) purchasing the material and having the work done by specified employees, as defined.
