Award a Construction Contract <br />Santa Ana Zoo Ocelot Exhibit (Project No. 132636) <br />July 1, 2014 <br />Page 5 <br />PUBLIC CONTRACT CODE <br />SECTION 20103.8 <br />20103.8. A local agency may require a bid for a public works <br />contract to include prices for items that may be added to, or <br />deducted from, the scope of work in the contract for which the bid is <br />being submitted. Whenever additive or deductive items are included <br />in a bid, the bid solicitation shall specify which one of the <br />following methods will be used to determine the lowest bid. In the <br />absence of a specification, only the method provided by subdivision <br />(a) will be used: <br />(a) The lowest bid shall be the lowest bid price on the base <br />contract- without consideration of the prices on the additive or <br />deductive items. <br />(b) The lowest bid shall be the lowest total of the bid prices on <br />the base contract and those additive or deductive items that were <br />specifically identified in the bid solicitation as being used for the <br />purpose of determining the lowest bid price. <br />(c) The lowest bid shall be the lowest total of the bid prices on <br />the base contract and those additive or deductive items that when <br />taken in order from a specifically identified list of those items in <br />the solicitation, and added to, or subtracted from, the base <br />contract, are less than, or equal to, a funding amount publicly <br />disclosed by the local agency before the first bid is opened. <br />(d) The lowest bid shall be determined in a manner that prevents <br />any information that would identify any of the bidders or proposed <br />subcontractors or suppliers from being revealed to the public entity <br />before the ranking of all bidders from lowest to highest has been <br />determined. <br />A responsible bidder who submitted the lowest bid as determined by <br />this section shall be awarded the contract, if it is awarded. This <br />section does not preclude the local agency from adding to or <br />deducting from the contract any of the additive or deductive items <br />after the lowest responsible bidder has been determined <br />(e) Nothing in this section shall preclude the prequalification of <br />subcontractors. <br />Exhibit 2 <br />23A -7 <br />
