Introduction
The Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act enacted in 1983 under Public Contract Code Section 22000 et seq. The intent was to promote uniformity of the cost accounting standards and bidding procedures on construction work performed or contracted by public entities in the state. CUPCCAA authorizes alternate bidding procedures by establishing higher threshold amounts for force-account and projects required to be formally bid. In addition, it sets limits between the force-account and formal bid thresholds.
