The City Council shall, from time to time, establish, by ordinance, procedures to ensure the integrity of awarding all contracts for the construction or improvement of public works, buildings, streets, drains, sewers, utilities, parks and playgrounds. Subject to such exceptions as the City Council may establish, these procedures shall call for soliciting multiple bids for all contracts. The procedures shall be reviewed periodically by the City Council at a public hearing.
The City Council may award a contract without complying with the procedures then in place by a vote of at least four-fifths of its members after a public hearing.
This Charter has been enacted for the collective benefit of the People of the City of Culver City, and is not intended to confer legal rights or remedies upon individual persons or entities that elect to do business with the City. In furtherance of this intention, it is specifically declared that no contractor, person or entity shall be entitled to bring any legal or equitable action against the City alleging that the City failed to perform its obligations under this section or under any ordinance enacted to establish the procedures for awarding public works contracts. Nothing in this paragraph shall prohibit or restrict the City from adopting ordinances or entering into contracts that grant legally enforceable rights to one or more contractors, persons or entities.
