SUBJECT: Consider an Ordinance Amending Sections 3.08.010 and
3.08.030 of the Municipal Code Establishing Informal
Bidding Procedures for Certain Public Projects
BACKGROUND /DISCUSSION
Section 3.08.010 of the Moorpark Municipal Code currently
authorizes the City to utilize informal bidding procedures in
accordance with the State Public Contract Code for public
projects up to $50,000. Section 3.08.030 also provides for the
notice and mailing requirements for said projects.
Public Contracts Code (PCC) Section 22030 (formerly PCC 21200)
provides that a local agency that has elected by governing board
resolution to become subject to the uniform construction cost
accounting procedures and has notified the State Controller is
subject to bidding procedures under the Uniform Public
Construction Cost Accounting Act (the Act).
The City Council passed Resolution No. 86 -286 on March 3, 1986,
electing to become subject to the Act and Ordinance No. 66 on
March 17, 1986 to establish the bidding procedures. Changes in
the bid limits are governed by PCC sections 22020, 22032 and
22034 which are part of the Act. PCC 22020 provides that every
five years the Commission may increase the monetary limits and
that any adjustment is effective 60 days after the State
Controller notification to the affected agencies.
The Commission increased the monetary limits for informal
bidding procedures for projects up to $100,000 in April 2000 and
the City's Ordinance needs to be amended to reflect the revised
limit and code section reference.

to the Ordinance.
