   An act to amend Section 10505 of the Public Contract Code,
relating to public contracts.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 136, as introduced, Hall. Public contracts: University of
California.
   Existing law requires the Regents of the University of California,
except as specified, to let any contract for a project to the lowest
responsible bidder. Existing law authorizes the regents to perform
projects with university employees if the regents deem that the award
of a contract, the acceptance of bids, or the acceptance of further
bids is not in the best interest of the university and either the
value of the project to be performed does not exceed $50,000, or the
project is for the erection, construction, alteration, repair, or
improvement of experimental, diagnostic, or specialized research
equipment.
   This bill would authorize projects on the campus at the University
of California at Los Angeles to be performed with university
employees if the value of the project does not exceed $100,000.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

circumstances:
   (1) The value of the project  to be so performed shall
