A. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter and Chapters 3.08 through 3.16, purchases and contracts for supplies, services, and equipment, as well as the sale of personal property of an estimated value of $25,000.00 or over, shall be by written contract with the lowest responsible bidder, as the case may be, pursuant to the formal bid procedures prescribed in this chapter.
B. Public works projects of an estimated cost which equals or exceeds the cost of a public works project required to be competitively bid under the general laws of the state of California applicable to public works contracts, or such other sum as may be authorized by Section 1110 of the city Charter; shall be by written contract with the lowest responsible bidder pursuant to the formal bid procedures prescribed in this chapter.
