About this statute
This section says the public contract code is intended to make public contract law clearer, easier to find, and better aligned with competitive bidding rules. This chapter may be cited as the State Contract Act. Some contracts are exempt from this chapter: contracts to buy supplies or materials under Chapter 2, and contracts needing emergency work or remedial measures to deal with toxic substance releases and protect the public. Certain improvements on state waterfront property in San Francisco, under the San Francisco Port Commission, are excluded from this chapter. Work performed by prisoners under an order from the Secretary of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation or the California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority is not subject to this chapter. For prison construction projects or additions, the total cost may not exceed $50,000 unless first approved by the State Public Works Board.
