Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District: contracts.

The Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control Act establishes the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District and grants the district authority relating to flood control. The act requires that a contract entered into by the district for materials, supplies, or for the construction or repair of works or improvements that has a contract price exceeding $10,000 be let to the lowest responsible bidder in accordance with specified public bidding requirements, except as provided. The act authorizes the district to enter into a contract without public bidding if the contract price does not exceed $10,000, and specified conditions are met. This bill would increase the contract price amount set forth in those provisions for a contract for materials or supplies from $10,000 to $16,000.
