CUPCCAA

WHAT IS CUPCCAA?
The California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, which is administered by the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Commission (CUPCCAA), provides for alternative bidding procedures when an agency performs public project work by contract. 

Public projects of $75,000 or less may be performed by negotiated contract or by purchase order [PCC22032(a)]

Public projects of $220,000 or less may be let to contract by the informal procedures outlined in the Act [PCC22032(b)]

Public projects of more than $220,000 shall be let to contract by formal bidding procedures [PCC22032(c)]

Per California Public Contract Code Section 22032, any Public Works Project estimated to be below $200,000 is subject to the Informal Bidding Procedures set forth by CUPCCAA. All trade categories are subject to Informal Bidding Procedures.

Each year, participating Districts place an ad in various construction trade journals inviting all licensed contractors to submit the name of their firm for inclusion on the District’s list of bidders for the following year.
Licensed contractors interested in being listed as an eligible Contractor on the AESD’s Informal Bid List must:

  • Have a current license and are subject to verification through the CA Contractors State License Board;
  • Comply with SB854 and must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations (Labor Code Section 1725.5) (Information on SB854 can be found at the California Department of Industrial Relations;
  • Register through the District by submitting a completed online form utilizing the link below.

The Spreckels Union Elementary School District has completed all the requirements for this alternative bidding process and is soliciting your firm's registration.
