    STAFF REPORTRE: Second Reading and Adoption of Ordinance Adopting the

    State of California Uniform Construction Cost Accounting Policy

    MEETING DATE: 12/18/2012

    SUBMITTED BY: Daniel Buffalo, Finance Director

    PURPOSE OF REPORT : Information only Discussion Action Item

    WHAT IS BEING ASKED OF THE CITY COUNCIL/BOARD:

    The Council and Board of Directors are being asked to adopt the State of California Uniform ConstructionCost Accounting Policy and hold second reading of the ordinance establishing informal bidding proceduresfound therein.

    BACKGROUND:

    The Uniform Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures (UCAPP) program, promulgated by the CaliforniaUniform Construction Cost Accounting Commission (Commission), is a comprehensive set of policies andprocedures based on the accounting requirements of the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act(Act) of 1983.

    The UCAPP and the Act were created in 1983 to allow local agencies to perform, or procure contract

    services to perform, public works projects without the need to engage in formal bidding requirements, up tocertain dollar thresholds, so long as an agency adopts and practices cost accounting procedures outlined inthe Cost Accounting Policies and Procedures Manual of the California Uniform Construction Cost

    Accounting Commission (Manual). Public agencies may perform such projects with internal personnel(Force account) up to $45,000 or engage a contractor using alternative bidding procedures as follows:

    1. Public projects of $45,000 or less using a negotiated contract or standard purchase order,

    2. Projects of or below $175,000 by negotiated contract pursuant to the Act (PCC 22032(b)), or

    3. Projects in excess of $175,000 by formal bidding procedures pursuant to the Act (PCC 22032(c)).

    DISCUSSION:

    Benefits of adopting this cost accounting policy and procedures under the UCAPP and participating in theprogram, as defined by the Commission, include an increase to the dollar limit in using the Citys Force andthe use of informal bidding procedures. It helps to streamline the project from start to completion,eliminating bureaucratic procedures and simplifying administration.

    Implementing the policy will compliment the City's efforts when estimating costs for determining if a publicproject is required to be bid out and to capture and record actual costs when a public project is performedby the City's own work force. The procedures follow normal accounting standards in the industry and inmany cases are not much different from those already in place at the City. Many California cities, counties,colleges, universities, schools and special districts have enacted the UCAPP and are successfully participating in the program.

    29/31

    Meeting Date: 12/18/2012 Page 2 Agenda Item #VIII.A.

    Adoption of this policy requires a formal resolution by the City Council and CLMSD Board of Directors,enactment of an informal bidding ordinance by the City Council, and minor modifications to the City'saccounting procedures.

    Subjecting the City to the provisions of the Act does not override any existing or future contractrequirements between the City and its contractors; it only supersedes the bidding procedures used toprocure construction contract services. The specific mention of bidding procedures emphasizes theomission of other statutory requirements (such as bond payments, prevailing wages, etc) and implies thattheir applicability is found in specific statutory provisions rather than the Act.

    OPTIONS:

    1. Approve and adopt Ordinance No._____ (2012) establishing informal construction contract bidding procedures.

    2. Do not approve but provide direction to staff.
