20931. (a) The board shall annually have prepared, and shall adopt,
plans and specifications of all necessary repairs to the levees of
the district and of any new levees to be constructed and all other
works of improvement for the benefit of the district, and shall
divide the work into convenient sections. The plans and
specifications shall be filed in the office of the board not later
than the first day of July of each year and shall be subject to
inspection by any interested person for at least two weeks prior to
the letting of any contract for work in accordance with those plans
and specifications. If the cost of repair or construction in any one
of the sections will exceed five hundred dollars ($500) the board
must, not later than the first day of July in each year, give notice
by publication at least once a week for two consecutive weeks in one
or more newspapers printed and published in Sutter County, that
sealed proposals will be received and opened at the office of the
board, at a time specified in the notice, for the construction of
repairs, new levees, and other works of improvement in each separate
section of work, and for the whole work, in accordance with the plans
and specifications. At the time and place specified in the notice
the board shall publicly open the bids and let the contract or
contracts to the lowest responsible bidder or bidders; provided,
however, that the board may reject any bid. If any or all bids are
rejected the board shall immediately readvertise for bids, as in the
first instance, for work that has not been let and upon the opening
and consideration of those new bids the board shall have the right to
reject any of them and have the work done by day labor. Every
person, firm or corporation to whom a contract is awarded shall enter
into a bond with sufficient sureties, to be approved by the board,
equal to one-half of the contract price, conditioned for the faithful
performance of the contract in accordance with the plans and
specifications.
(b) In cases of emergency, the board may, by unanimous consent of
all the members, proceed at once to replace or repair any and all
levees in the district without notice. If notice for bids to let
contracts will not be given, the board shall comply with Chapter 2.5
(commencing with Section 22050).
(c) In case of vacancy in the office of any director or directors
of the district by reason of death, resignation, or other cause
(whether the same shall occur before or after the effective date of
this act), the board of supervisors of Sutter County shall have power
to fill the same by appointment. A person so appointed to fill such
a vacancy shall hold office until the first Monday in March following
the next election in the district at which directors are to be
elected and until his or her successor has been elected.
