APPROVED PURCHASING AND PROCUREMENT POLICIES AND THE UNIFORM PUBLIC CONSTRUCTION COST ACCOUNTING ACT (UPCCAA)
The purchasing and procurement policies reflect many current TCSD practices and establish written processes for other activities of the TCSD. The policies are modeled after similar policies adopted by the Ross Valley Sanitation District but modified to reflect TCSD’s operations.
Specifically, the policies address:
- purchases of goods and material over and under $10,000,
- selection process for professional services
- sole source procurements
- emergency procurements
- credit card use policies
- signature authority
The Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (Act) is legislation that was enacted in 1983 to help promote “uniformity of the cost accounting standards and bidding procedures on construction work performed or contracted by public entities in the state”
The benefits of the Act program are:
• Increased force account limit (i.e., using in-house resources) for public agencies
• Simplified bidding for projects that are $200,000 or less
• Reduced number of formal bids based on project size
• Expedited contracting for projects under $200,000
