A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL SUBJECTING
THE CITY OF LODI TO THE CALIFORNIA UNIFORM PUBLIC
CONSTRUCTION COST ACCOUNTING ACT
WHEREAS, when constructing public projects, the City must follow the State Public
Contract Code. The City's Municipal Code requires that any public project in excess of $20,000
must be publicly bid, follow the formal contract procedures, and be awarded to the lowest
responsible bidder. Public works projects in excess of $5,000 must also be publicly bid
pursuant to Public Contracts Code; and
WHEREAS, most often the cost of engineering and staff time that is required to develop
plans, specifications, and related documents to advertise and award a publicly -bid project will
exceed the $5,000 threshold for a public works project; and
WHEREAS, the adoption of California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act
(CUPCCAA) would greatly reduce these costs, especially for smaller scale public works
projects; and
WHEREAS, the CUPCCAA was created in 1983 as an alternative bidding procedure
designed to reduce costs, expedite the award process, and simplify the administration of smaller
public projects. CUPCCAA provides for the following alternative bidding procedures for a public
work project:
• Public projects of $60,000 or less may be performed by a negotiated contract or
by purchase order;
• Public projects of $200,000 or less may be awarded by the informal bidding
procedures set forth in the CUPCCAA; and
• Public projects of more than $200,000 must be awarded by formal bidding
procedures.
WHEREAS, staff recommends adopting a resolution that subjects City of Lodi to the
California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Lodi City Council does hereby approve
subjecting the City of Lodi to the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, pursuant to Section 6.3q of the City Council Protocol
Manual (adopted 11/6/19, Resolution No. 2019-223), the City Attorney is hereby authorized to
make minor revisions to the above -referenced document(s) that do not alter the compensation
or term, and to make clerical corrections as necessary.
