California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act ~ CUPCCAA
The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act is under the umbrella of the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Commission (CUPCCAC) and provides for alternative bidding procedures when an agency performs public project work by contract. 

The District has elected to be subject to the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA). To that effect, the District maintains a List of Qualified Contractors for projects under the informal bidding requirements of the Act. Contractors wishing to be notified when a project is available within their line of work, and within the informal bidding threshold, can request to be added to the List of Qualified Contractors by filling out and submitting the Request for Inclusion – Contractor Registration Form.

a. Public projects of $60,000 or less may be performed by negotiation contract or by purchase order (PCC 22032(a)).

b. Public projects of $200,000 or less may be let to contract by the informal procedures set forth in the Act (PCC 22032(b)).

c. Public projects of more than $200,000 shall be let to contract by formal bidding procedures (PCC 22032(c)).
