[email protected] - 116 Main St., P.O. Box 750, Loyalton CA 96118 — 530.927.7487 July 20, 2025
Caltrans, District 3 - Marysville
703 B Street
Marysville CA 95901
Re: Caltrans Speed Zone Changes for Loyalton
To Whom It May Concern:

I am Janet McHenry, a 44-year resident of Loyalton who with my husband Craig has raised our four children at our home at 116 Main St. on CA-49 in Loyalton. I taught at Loyalton High School, and my husband is a former attorney and local rancher who served on the Sierra County Board of Supervisors as well as on the Loyalton City Council.

After trying to raise the speed limit on Main Street in 2011, Caltrans is again proposing to raise the speed limit in the long block of our neighborhood on CA-49 between Hill Street and Taylor Avenue, based on data it claims shows 85 percent of the vehicles on that stretch of the road travel 3 to 14 mph higher than the existing speed limit of 25 mph.

This is a ridiculous change for a residential neighborhood within the city limits, for several reasons. First, this part of CA-49 has more residences than any other on Main Street: eight. It is a residential neighborhood with kids on bikes and skateboards and seniors on motorized chairs.

Our grandchildren often play at our house-occasionally chasing whiffle balls that land in the front yard and the highway.

Second, the block in question is already a dangerous spot during winter. While there is a sidewalk along one side of the road in that area, during the winter Caltrans dumps snow on that sidewalk, making it necessary for children and seniors to walk or ride their motorized scooter chairs at the edge of the highway. Vehicles traveling at higher speeds could cause a serious accident.

Third, vehicles traveling at 45 mph in that neighborhood will not be able to slow down in less than a half block's time to 25 mph before the school crossing that goes across CA-49 at Fourth Street. And many children cross the highway even before then to go through the alley at the Smithneck Creek bridge-a shortcut to Beckwith Street and the elementary school.

Fourth, the area is a wildlife corridor for deer. On a daily basis deer move through our driveway from the undeveloped city lots behind our home to the field across the street.

Finally, the data Caltrans has provided does not justify a decision to raise the speed limit. There are two speed limit radar signs on CA-49—one on the west end of town just past the city limits and one on the east side of town at the city limits. So the data can only represent how fast vehicles are traveling at those two points, not how fast vehicles are actually traveling in what are being called transition zones. And if even if 85 percent of vehicles were traveling 3 to 14 mph higher than the current 25 mph speed limit, why would the state of California want to raise the speed limit 20 miles per hour?
Mathematical data is only one kind of data. Data is information, and images and video and personal testimony are other forms of data that should be considered when people's lives are at I formally request that Caltrans not raise the speed limit in our residential neighborhood. This would be dangerous for senior citizens, children, and others as well as wildlife.

Thank you for your consideration.

Section 1. Purposes.

It is the purpose of this District to manage groundwater in Sierra Valley. The District hereby provides requirements for approval of new water wells in order to ensure that water obtained from wells within the Sierra Valley Groundwater Basin is suitable for the purposes for which it is used and that new wells will not cause adverse impacts to the groundwater within the Basin. In addition, these requirements are established to attempt to reduce potential well interference problems with existing wells and potential adverse impacts which could be caused by the construction of new wells or the repair or deepening of existing wells where a permit is required within this District.

Section 2. Permit required.

No person, firm, association, organization, partnership, joint venture, business trust, corporation, company, federal, state or local agency, or special district formed under the laws of this state shall, within the area of the Sierra Valley Groundwater Management District, construct, repair or deepen any water well, or destroy any abandoned well unless a written permit has first been obtained from the respective District.

Section 3. Pumping capacity and well casing size.
(a) High-capacity wells are defined as those capable of pumping 100 gallons per minute or more or constructed with casings larger than a seven (7) inch outside diameter (OD). (b) High-capacity wells shall be prohibited from installation within the area specified by the District's appointed hydrogeologist and as adopted by the District's governing Board. The current area of prohibition is identified on a map and attached to this ordinance as Exhibit A. (c) Permit applications for domestic wells constructed with casings seven (7) inches or less outside diameter (OD) will not be affected by the high-capacity well prohibition area described above.

Section 4. Adopting Requirements for Reporting High Capacity Inactive Wells. (a) High-capacity wells, as defined in Section 3 (a), are inactive if unmetered. These wells shall be known as high-capacity inactive wells.

a. The pumping capacity of the well.
b. The location of the well.
c. The distance from existing operating wells.
d. A description of any intent to activate the well.
(C) High-capacity inactive wells shall not be metered and activated without application for and receipt of a permit from the District. The District shall consider all information provided in subsection (b) and issue authorization to activate the inactive well if such activation does not increase impact to the groundwater basin.
(d) No high-capacity inactive well will be considered by the District for an activation permit in the absence of the information required in subsection (b) above. (e) The process for activation of a high-capacity inactive well is as follows:
a. Written application submitted to the Board of Directors of the District which application shail include the following information:
i. the intended use of the well.
ii. the location of the well within the basin
ili. the projected pumping capacity upon re-activation
iv. the weils proximity to other wells
v. the applicant's intent regarding the inactivation of other wells vi. a description of the equipment to be installed to effect activation. b. Upon approval by the District, the well may be activated following a site inspection by the District prior to going live.
c. No high-capacity inactive well shall be destroyed prior to the issuance of a permit by the County for such destruction and upon notice to the District.

Section 5. Well Spacing Requirements.

New, high-capacity wells are allowed outside of the prohibited area described in Section 3 of this ordinance provided that they shall not be located closer than one quarter mile to an existing high- capacity well. Variances to the one quarter mile spacing requirement may be granted by the District's Board of Directors on a case-by-case basis in accordance with Section 6 of this ordinance.

Section 6. Exemptions from the High-Capacity Well Prohibition and Spacing Requirements.

The following work will be exempt from the high-capacity well prohibition and the spacing requirements of Sections 3 and 4 of this ordinance:
(a) The repair or deepening of an existing well, if the engineered pumping capacity of the well is not increased.
(b) Replacement of a well that is destroyed in accordance with District, state and local requirements, provided the replacement well does not exceed the engineered pumping capacity of the well that is destroyed, and provided the replacement well is drilled within two hundred (200) feet of the destroyed well.
(c) Monitoring wells.
(d) Any person, entity, or public water agency claiming an exemption to this prohibition must submit an application to the District. Any application for an exemption should contain sufficient information to establish that the exemption applies.
(e) The following water management practices are exempt from the prohibitions in this chapter, provided the claimant or public water agency meets the burden of establishing that the exemption applies:

Water resources management practices of public water agencies, including municipal services, that have jurisdictional authority within the District, and that are in compliance with and included in groundwater management plans and policies adopted by that agency. This exemption shall not apply if the District determines that the public water agency's groundwater management plan and policies fail to prevent the increased mining or export of groundwater in areas within the public water agency's service area and that is subject to the District's jurisdiction.

2. Replacement of existing wells that do not produce further decline of groundwater levels, land subsidence, or other significant environmental damage.

3. Water wells in aggregate, on a single parcel delivering two acre-feet of ground water per year or less for domestic use on property under the same ownership as the parcel on which the well is located.

Section 7. Variances.

Variances can only be granted upon finding of unusual circumstances and upon finding that the variance will not cause well interference problems or adverse impacts to the groundwater within the Basin. The Board shall affirm or overrule the denial or revocation, and transmit such determination to the permitting agency within sixty (60) days. This section does not authorize appeals to the Board from any action of the District authorized or required by state law or regulation.
(b) If the Board needs the advice of an expert geologist or groundwater hydrologist to make a by the appellant. The Board shall inform the appellant of the not-to-exceed cost of such expert decision on the appeal, the Board may retain such expert advice, and the costs shall be borne advice before the cost is incurred and the appellant may withdraw the appeal before any such costs are incurred.

The report shall be a public document, and a copy of the report shall be provided to the appellant.
(c) The applicant shall provide written comments or evidence at least one week prior to the hearing for the Board to review. At the hearing of an appeal to the District Board, any interested party may present oral or written evidence. Following the hearing, the Board shall render a decision upon the appeal and may sustain, modify, or reverse any action or decision the Sierra Valley Groundwater Management District Board has taken. The decision of the Board shall be final.

Section 8. Coordination between Plumas and Sierra Counties and the Sierra Valley Groundwater Management District.
(a) Whenever Plumas or Sierra County receives a permit application for a new or modified high- capacity well, as defined herein, located within the District boundaries, the District Planning Department or Environmental Health Department, as appropriate, shall submit a copy of the application package to the District.
(b) Upon completion of the new high-capacity well, the Plumas or Sierra District Environmental Health Department or Building Department shall forward copies of the completed permit and the Department of Water Resources well completion report/well log to the District.

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

STATE OF CALIFORNIA
EXECUTIVE ORDER N-3-23
WHEREAS on April 21, 2021, May 10, 2021, July 8, 2021, and October 19. 2021, I proclaimed States of Emergency due to drought conditions that continue today and exist across California; and
WHEREAS climate change continues to intensify the impacts of droughts on our communities, environment, and economy, and these impacts continue to affect groundwater basins, local water supplies, and ecosystems, resulting in continuing drought in the State; and
WHEREAS the ongoing drought continues to have significant, immediate impacts on communities with vulnerable water supplies, farms that rely on imigation to grow food and fiber, and fish and wildlife that rely on stream flows and cool water; and
WHEREAS early, substantial rains in October and December 2021 gave way to the driest January-February-March period in over 100 years in California, leading the October 2021 to September 2022 water year to end with statewide precipitation at 76 percent of average, with statewide reservoir storage at 69 percent of average, and with Lake Oroville-the State Water Project's largest reservoir-at 64 percent of average: and
WHEREAS in january 2023, the State experienced one of the wettest three- week periods on record, yielding a snowpack that was at 205 percent of average on February 1, 2023, yet to date February has been drier than average; and
WHEREAS the current snowpack has not reduced stresses upon the State's water resources, including low storage levels, depleted aquifers, and diminished local water supplies; and
WHEREAS the State can expect continued swings between extreme wet and extreme dry periods that can present risks of severe flooding and extreme drought in the same year; and
WHEREAS California must adapt to a hotter, drier future in which a greater share of rain and snowfall during the wetter months will be absorbed by dry soils, consumed by plants, and evaporated into the air, leaving less water for communities, species, and agriculture; and
s indicative of an overarching need to continually reexc see no teen or treat tener Go Newsom promote resiliency in a changing climate; and
WHEREAS Californians continue to make progress c
urban water users conserving 17.1 percent statewide in [ compared to December 2020 and agricultural producer
more efficient irrigation; and
WHEREAS despite this progress, the uncertainty of p
remainder of the winter and spring, and the potential of ‹ continue to implement all directions from those proclamations and orders and accelerate implementation where feasible.

2. To maximize the extent to which winter precipitation recharges underground aquifers, the Department of Water Resources, the State Water Resources Control Board (Water Board), and the Department of Fish and Wildlife shall continue to collaborate on expediting permitting of recharge projects and shall work with local water districts to facilitate recharge projects.

3. Paragraph 4 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated May 10, 2021 and Paragraph 4 of my State of Emergency Proclamation dated July 8, 2021 are withdrawn, and each is replaced with the following text:

To ensure adequate water supplies for purposes of health, safety, the environment, or drought resilient water supplies, the Water Board shall consider modifying requirements for reservoir releases or diversion limitations in Central Valley Project or State Water Project facilities to:
(i) conserve water upstream later in the year in order to protect cold water pools for salmon and steelhead, (ii) enhance instream conditions for fish and wildlife, (iii) improve water quality, (iv) protect carry-over storage, (v) ensure minimum health and safety water supplies, or (vi) provide opportunities to maintain or to expand water supplies north and south of the Delta. The Water Board shall require monitoring and evaluation of any such changes to inform future actions. For any actions taken pursuant to this paragraph and any approvals granted in furtherance of this paragraph, Water Code Section 13247 and Public Resources Code, Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) and regulations adopted pursuant to that Division are suspended. Nothing in this Paragraph affects or limits the validity of actions already taken or ongoing under Paragraph 4 of my May 10, 2021 Proclamation or Paragraph 4 of my July 8, 2021 Proclamation.

4. Paragraph 9 of Execufive Order N-7-22 is withdrawn and replaced with the following text:

To protect health, safety, and the environment during this drought emergency, a county, city, or other public agency shall not:
a. Approve a permit for a new groundwater well or for alteration of an existing well in a basin subject to the Sustainable
Groundwater Management Act and classified as medium- or high-priority without first obtaining written verification from a Groundwater Sustainability Agency managing the basin or area of the basin where the well is proposed to be located that groundwater extraction by the proposed well would not be inconsistent with any sustainable groundwater management program established in any applicable Groundwater
Sustainability Plan adopted by that Groundwater Sustainability Agency and would not decrease the likelihood of achieving a sustainability goal for the basin covered by such a plan; or b. Issue a permit for a new groundwater well or for alteration of an existing well without first determining that extraction of groundwater from the proposed well is (1) not likely to interfere with the production and functioning of existing nearby wells, and (2) not likely to cause subsidence that would adversely impact or damage nearby infrastructure.

This Paragraph shall not apply to permits for wells (i) that will provide less than two acre-feet per year of groundwater for individual domestic users, (i that will exclusively provide groundwater to public water supply systems as defined in section 116275 of the Health and Safety Codefor (ii) that are replacing existing, currently permitted wells with new wells that will produce an equivalent quantity of water as the well being replaced when the existing well is being replaced because it has been acquired by eminent domain or acquired while under threat of condemnation.

2. The Fire Department budget will be reviewed periodically at Finance Committee meetings as well as Regular City Council meetings.

4. The entire Net Income from the Fire Department Budget will be transferred into the Fire Department Reserve account after the City Council accepts the Final Audit each Fiscal Year. Likewise, if there is a deficit balance in the Fire Department budget that amount will be transferred out of the Fire Department Reserve into the City's operating budget.

c) 10% of personnel administrative funds received will go to the City for time spent issuing checks, year-end W2's, and entering expenses to appropriate fires. These staff hours are not to be charged to our operating budget.
d) Workman's comp revenue received will be used to offset our yearly budget workman's comp All remaining Wildland Firefighting revenue will be held in the Wildland Checking account.

Proposal from Sierra-Plumas Joint Unified School District to the City of Loyalton:

Easement Request and Parking Access for Middle School Reopening As presented at the May 20, 2025 City Council meeting, the school district plans to reopen the middle school by utilizing the portable classrooms located adjacent to the Social Hall and City Park. Relocating approximately 80 junior high students, along with the school office, to this new site will require the development of alternative access and parking solutions to ensure safe and efficient student drop-off and pickup, as well as adequate parking for staff and parents.

To support this transition, we respectfully request that the City of Loyalton grant the district an easement across the city-owned property located between the Social Hall and the back side of the portable classrooms, adjacent to the existing sidewalk. This easement will allow the district to construct an access road for drop-off and pickup, along with a small parking area along the fence line on our side of the property.

We have completed a survey of the proposed easement and access road, and a copy of the drawing is attached for your review. At this time, we are requesting that the City Council review the proposed location and grant approval to proceed with having our attorney prepare the official easement documents.

Thank you for your consideration of this important request. We look forward to your feedback and to continuing our collaboration in support of Loyalton's students and families.

Sincerely,
Sean Snider, Superintendent

CALIFORNIA UNIFORM PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION

COST ACCOUNTING ACT
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
These FAQs have been compiled to assist agencies that are participating in the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (the Act), as contained in Public Contract Code (PCC) Section 22000, et seq. All references are to PCC, unless otherwise stated.

1. What is the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act? The Act is legislation that was enacted in 1983 to help promote "uniformity of the cost accounting standards and bidding procedures on construction work performed or contracted by public entities in the state" (Section 22001). The Act is a voluntary program available to all public entities in the State, but it applies only to those public agencies that have "opted in" to the provisions set forth by the Act using the processes outlined in the Act. The entirety of the Act is found at Sections 22000-22045.

2. What are some of the key provisions of the Act?
The Act allows for public project work in the amount of $75,000 or less to be performed by a public agency's force account using the public agency's own resources, or by negotiated contract, or by purchase order (Section 22032(a)). Public projects in the amount of $220,000 or less may use the informal or formal bidding procedures set forth in Section 22032(b), or (c) of the Act. Public projects at a cost of more than $220,000 must use formal bidding procedures to let the contract pursuant PCC Section 22032(c), except as otherwise provided by statute.

3. What are the benefits of the program?
• Increased force account limit for public agencies;
• Simplified bidding for projects that are $220,000 or less; • Reduced number of formal bids based on project size; and • Expedited contracting for projects under $220,000.

Many participating agencies appreciate the program because it has given them more leeway in the execution of public works projects under a certain dollar amount; sped up the award process; expedited project delivery; reduced the time, effort, and expense associated with bidding projects under $220,000; and simplified administration for those projects. Few agencies have experienced challenges with the accounting requirements and overhead provisions. Moreover, adjustments, when required, have been relatively simple; most required procedures were already in place, so there were few, if any, major changes to existing operations. The current Standard Accounting Codes Structure satisfies reporting requirements when used properly.

4. Is the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act mandatory for public agencies? No. The Act is a voluntary program requiring a public agency to "opt in" using the process outlined in the Act.

Revised January 1, 2025

5. How does a public agency become subject to the Act?
The governing body must elect by resolution to become subject to the Act and must file a copy of the approved resolution with the State Controller's Office (Section 22030). Sample documents are available at: http://www.sco.ca.gov/ard_cuccac.html. Once an agency has opted into the Act, it will remain a part of the program.

6. May a public agency withdraw from the Act?
Yes. An agency may withdraw from the Act by filing with the State Controller's Office an approved resolution of the agency's election to withdraw that was made during a public meeting of the agency's governing body.

7. Must a participating agency "opt in" to the Act annually? No. Once a participating agency "opts in" to the Act, the agency remains subject to the Act until it "opts out" of the Act.

8. What is the California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission? The Commission was created to administer the Act, per Section 22010. It consists of 14 members: 13 members appointed by the State Controller and the License "A" member of the Contractors' State License Board. Seven members represent the public sector (counties, cities, school districts, and special districts). Six members represent the private sector (public works contractors and unions). The Commission members receive no salary, but are eligible for reimbursement of their direct expenses related to the Commission.

9. What are the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Procedures? These procedures are to be used for tracking costs for work performed by an Agency's own forces on a "project" as defined by the Act (Section 22002(c)). The procedures do not apply to operations or maintenance work, or any work that meets the criteria listed in Section 22002(d).

These procedures are intended to capture and record all direct and indirect labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors, and supervision costs, as well as the appropriate overhead costs for the public agency associated with each "project" it performs with its own forces. The procedures follow industry-standard accounting methods, and in many cases are not much different from those already in place at most agencies. Sample forms are available in the CUCCAC Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual at http://www.sco.ca.gov/Files-ARD-Local/CUCCAC_Manual.pdf School districts may use the Standard Accounting Code Structure to comply with tracking requirements.

10. Are the cost accounting procedures applicable for agencies whose work forces perform only maintenance tasks as defined in the Act and that contract all of their public projects to third parties?
No. The cost accounting procedures are applicable only for agencies that perform public project work such as construction and alteration by force account or otherwise. As maintenance does not constitute a "project" under the Act, the cost accounting procedures do not apply.

Revised January 1, 2025

11. When are participating agencies required to advertise if they choose to maintain a list of qualified contractors?
At least once per calendar year, each Public Agency that has elected to become subject to the Act and intends to use the notice provisions outlined in Section 22034(a) must establish a new list or update its existing list of qualified contractors by mailing, faxing, or emailing written notice to all construction trade journals designated for that Agency under Section 22036. The notice must invite all licensed contractors to submit the name of their firms to the Agency for inclusion on the Agency's list of qualified bidders for the following twelve (12) months. Effective January 1, 2016, a participating agency can choose a specific date of their choice in which to renew its list of qualified contractors.

12. May an agency that chooses to maintain a list add a contractor to the list at any time during the year?
Yes.

13. What is meant by the term "qualified contractors" as used in section 22034(a)(1) of the Act?
Qualified contractors are contractors licensed by the State to perform the subject work.

The Commission has determined that nothing in the Act prohibits a participating agency from using additional objective pre-qualification standards in the formation and maintenance of their Qualified Contractors Lists if they so desire.

14. How can a contractor get on an agency's list of contractors? The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Commission's webpage has a list of agencies that are participating in the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA). Please contact each agency directly to let them know you would like to be on their list of contractors. For a list of participating agencies, please see the "Participating Agency Lists" header at the following link:
https://www.sco.ca.gov/ard cuccac.html
More detailed instructions for contractors can be found in Section 1.04.01 of the Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual

15. Can a public agency disqualify or exclude certain contractors from the Qualified Contractors List required in Section 22034(a)(1)?
Agencies may disqualify contractors from Qualified Contractors Lists when the contractors fail to furnish information to meet the minimum criteria as established by the Commission.

16. For agencies that do not maintain an informal bidders list, are they allowed to choose who would get notifications of projects?
No. Section 22034(a)(2) provides for notifications to construction trade journals and exchanges in lieu of sending notifications to contractors on an informal bidders list. An agency may send notices to selected contractors provided it has also met the advertisement requirements of Section 22034(a).

Revised January 1, 2025

17. What is the difference between "qualifying contractors" under the Act and "prequalification of contractors" by school districts under Section 20101? Qualifying contractors is a process that allows contractors to register with a public agency for notification of public works opportunities. The prequalification process under Section 20101 is a more complex process that requires a standardized questionnaire and evaluation of contractors using standard scoring criteria. The prequalification process is applicable under the Local Agency Public Construction Act, and does not apply to the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act.

18. Does a contractor have to be on an agency's contactor list in order to perform projects less than $75,000?
No, any public project less than the $75,000 informal bidding threshold can be performed by employees of the public agency, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order. An agency's list of contractors is only required to be alerted of projects that surpass the informal bidding threshold.

19. Must a public agency a) notify contractors about public projects if the contractors are believed to not have the skills, credentials, or experience to perform the work required for the public project; and b) consider bids submitted by contractors that the public agency believes do not have the skills, credentials, or experience to perform the work? a) Yes. If a contractor is on the Qualified Contractors List, the contractor must be notified by the agency of public projects for which he or she is licensed to perform (Section 22034(a)(1)).
b) All bids received must be considered, unless an agency makes appropriate legal findings that a contractor is not legally responsible or his or her bid is not responsive.

20. Does the Act allow flexibility in cases of emergency and when repair or replacements are necessary to permit the continued conduct of a public agency's operations or services? Yes. For the purposes of the Public Contract Code, an "emergency" is defined at Section 1102 as "a sudden, unexpected occurrence that poses a clear and imminent danger, requiring immediate action to prevent or mitigate the loss or impairment of life, health, property, or essential public services."
The Act sets forth in Section 22035(a) how a governing body should proceed in case of emergency repairs or replacements. This section states:

In cases of emergency when repair or replacements are necessary, the governing body may proceed at once to replace or repair any public facility without adopting plans, specifications, strain sheets, or working details, or giving notice for bids to let contracts. The work may be done by day labor under the direction of the governing body, by contractor, or by a combination of the two. Section 22050 et seq., provides the emergency contract procedures to be followed in these cases. 4|
Revised January 1, 2025

21. Do the alternative bidding procedures apply only to public projects as defined in Section 22002(c)?
The alternative bidding procedures apply only to work that constitutes a "public project" as defined in Section 22002(c) and has a construction cost within the limits described in Section 22032. The alternative bidding procedures are not required for the purchase of goods or materials that are not part of a "public project." However, as outlined in Section 22003, a participating agency may also use the alternative bidding procedures when contracting for maintenance or other work that does not fall within the definition of a "public project" if it so chooses.

22. What will membership in the Act cost my agency?
Nothing. There are no membership fees or dues. However, the Commission does accept grants to assist it in carrying out its duties (Section 22015(c)).

23. What are the most common concerns addressed by the Act? These are:
• Cost accounting policies and procedures;
• Informal bidding procedures; and
• Accounting procedures review.

Cost accounting requirements for the Act follow those common to the construction industry. The informal bidding on public projects up to $220,000 is seen by agencies as an effective tool to expedite completion of small projects. While an accounting procedures review could potentially hold up a project for a minimum of 45 days pursuant to Section 22043(c)(1), these types of reviews have been rare in the Commission's history.

24. Must an agency calculate an overhead rate to apply the accounting procedures? No. Cities with populations of less than 75,000 must assume an overhead rate equal to 20% of the total costs of the public project, including the costs of material, equipment, and labor (Section 22017(b)(1)). Cities with a population of more than 75,000 may either calculate an actual overhead rate or assume an overhead rate of 30% of the total costs of a public project including the costs of materials, equipment, and labor (Section 22017(b)(2)).

25. When a public entity opts into the Act, does the Act supersede other contracting legal requirements such as statutory requirements for performance bonds, prevailing wages, and certificates of insurance, etc.?
No. The Act supersedes only the bidding procedures used once a public agency has opted into the Act and has notified the Controller. All other contracting requirements of the PCC remain applicable.

Revised January 1, 2025

26. Can a public agency claim to be to be exempt from following all of the requirements in Public Contract Code by claiming it only has to follow the language and procedures within the Act?
No. The Act is part of the Public Contract Code; therefore, if the Act is silent on a particular matter, then the Public Contract Code applies on that matter.

27. If public agencies are not following the advertising requirements in the Act, will the Commission address those agencies? Can a complaint be brought to the Commission? Yes. Recent legislative changes have expanded the Commission's authority to enforce provisions of the Act. The Commission may review complaints filed by interested parties when evidence is provided that:
• The participating agency performed work after rejecting all bids, claiming it could do the work less expensively (Section 22042(a)).
• The work performed exceeded the force account limits (Section 22032(a)). • The work was improperly classified as maintenance (Section 22042(c)). • The work has been split or separated into smaller work orders or projects (Section 22033).
• The work has exceeded the limits or otherwise not met the requirements set forth (Section 22032(b) and (c)).
• A public agency did not comply with the informal bidding procedures set forth at Section 22034 (Section 22042.5).

28. Section 20112 specifically requires school districts to advertise twice for a two-week period, while Section 22037 requires advertising once, 14 days in advance of the date of opening of bids. How do participating school districts reconcile this conflict? When the Act is in conflict with any other section in the Public Contract Code, the Act shall supersede. The Act requires advertising once, 14 days in advance of the date of opening of bids. Districts participating in the Act may choose to maximize their outreach by advertising twice.

29. May a public agency contract separately for like work at the same site at the same time using the under $75,000 Force Account method?
No. Section 22033 states:

It shall be unlawful to split or separate into smaller work orders or projects any project for the purpose of evading the provisions of this article requiring work to be done by contract after competitive bidding.

Separating "like work" would be permitted only if the total of all the "like work" is less than $75,000. If the work is more than $75,000, it must be advertised and bid according to the provisions of the Act (i.e., bid informally if the total amount is less than $220,000; bid formally if the total amount exceeds $220,000).

Revised January 1, 2025

30. May a public agency bid out two separate projects that occur at the same time and site, but are different types of work?
Yes. There is no violation if the work is competitively bid. If an agency wishes to use the negotiated or informal bidding processes, it must apply the appropriate limits to each of the projects. Each project must be separate in scope. Projects may not be separated by trade to avoid bidding. If the total of all jobs is greater than $75,000 then the informal or formal bid limits apply.

31. Can an agency separately bid out for the materials and supplies on a project to avoid contractor markup and then bid out for the installation labor or perform installation with its own forces?
An agency may separately procure the materials and supplies for a project; however, all costs (materials, supplies, labor) of a project must be included in the project cost estimate to determine whether the project falls within the force account, informal bid, or formal bid thresholds.

In addition, if installation is performed by force account, an overhead rate must be applied to all direct costs of the project and included in the cost estimate. For example, if materials/supplies cost $50,000 to procure separately and the estimated labor cost to install is $25,000, the project could not be performed with force account, but would fall within the informal bid threshold because the total cost estimate is $75,000.

32. Must a value be assigned to the volunteer labor when the California Conservation Corps or another volunteer organization provides labor on a public project? No. Volunteer labor from volunteer organizations does not need to be included as a cost of a public project for bid limit purposes as long as no costs are associated with the volunteer labor.

33. By opting into the Act, does a public agency automatically bring all of its component divisions or departments into the Act?
Yes. When a public agency elects to become subject to the uniform construction cost accounting procedures, the entire legal entity is considered subject to the Act and no divisions or departments are exempt.

34. When a public agency opts into the Act, does it automatically bring all districts under control of its governing Board into the Act?
No. Special Districts, which are governed by a board of supervisors or city council, are subject only if a separate election is made for each special district.

35. PCC 22034 requires that participating agencies adopt an Informal Bidding Ordinance.

What do schools and special districts that cannot adopt Ordinances do to comply? Agencies that do not have the ability to adopt Ordinances should discuss Section 22034 compliance with their legal counsel.

Revised January 1, 2025

36. Are change orders allowed by the Act, and if so what is allowable? What if a change order goes over one of the allowed thresholds?
The Act does not address change orders. Please consult with your agency's legal counsel regarding any limitation on change orders that may apply to your agency.

37. Is there any training related to the Act? If so, where can I find a list of where the training is offered?
SCO has information regarding the Act on the SCO/CUCCAC website, including the current Cost Accounting and Procedures Manual. Often, commissioners are willing to provide training, answer questions, and/or give a presentation in order to assist agencies in getting the full benefits of participating in the Act.

38. Ihe Act states that public projects of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) or less may be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order. However, the Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) states any project over $1,000 has to pay prevailing wages. How do the Act and DIR guidance work together?
The Act and DIR are completely separate and govern different aspects of public projects.

The Act focuses on bidding related to public projects and DIR deals with wages paid by contractors on public projects. However, they may relate in that if prevailing wages are not paid on a public project, that could potentially impact the total cost of a project which would require a different bidding process utilized under the Act.
