Contracts for the performance of the work of maintenance shall either be let to the lowest responsible bidder or to the most qualified proposer as determined by an evaluated Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The determination as to whether an RFP or bid process shall be used in the selection shall be made upon recommendation by the City Engineer to the Board of Public Works and adopted by the City Council. The Board of Public Works shall advertise for two or more days in a newspaper of general circulation published in the City of Los Angeles, inviting either bids or proposals for furnishing labor, material and/or supplies before any contract is let for the requested services. The Board may require such bonds as it may deem adequate from the successful bidder or proposer to secure the faithful performance of the contract and the payment of all claims for labor and materials, and may reject any and all bids or proposals.
