Official statutory text

Such informal contracts may be awarded only after a proposal form has been prepared, a copy is served upon the contractor whose control has been terminated, and upon his or her surety, and three days allowed thereafter so that he or she may cause others to bid. Any person who is prequalified therefor under Article 4 (commencing with Section 10760) of this chapter may bid on informal contracts.
