CUPPCCA

In September of 2021 the LLESD School Boards approved the use of an informal bidding procedure for lower valued facility improvement projects known as CUPCCAA (California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Program).

​

CUPCCAA states that public projects of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) or less may be performed by the employees of a public agency by force account, by negotiated contract, or by purchase order. (b) Public projects of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000). If all bids received are in excess of two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000), (c) the governing body of the public agency may, by adoption of a resolution by a four-fifths vote, award the contract, at two hundred twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($212,500) or less, to the lowest responsible bidder, if it determines the cost estimate of the public agency was reasonable.

​

The District is creating and maintaining a listing of qualified contractors, identified according to categories of work. All contractors on the list for the category of work to being bid as a CUPCCAA project, shall be mailed, faxed or emailed a notice inviting informal bids for that project. To be listed on the qualified contractor list, a contractor needs to complete a letter of interest form and submit it to the District. A request for and submission of that form can be made by via email to the Districts Program Manager, Todd Mortensen (toddm@capitalpm.com).
