emergency, if notice for bids to let contracts will not be given, the
board shall comply with Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 22050).

agency, other than the district, which person, firm, corporation, or
public agency agrees to pay all of the cost of the change or
addition, the board may, by board order, authorize the Director of
Public Works or other district officer to direct the contractor to
