(a) Time for Award. For all Contracts that are fully or partially funded by Federal or State grants, loans, or other governmental source, the department concerned shall not be required to award such Contracts until 120 days from the date Bids are received. Such time may only be extended prior to award of the Contract and only upon (1) written agreement of the apparent Responsible Bidder with the lowest Responsive Bid; (2) approval by the Mayor or by resolution of the board or commission concerned; and (3) any necessary approvals of the Federal, State, or other governmental funding agency.
(b) Contract Terms. In all Contracts for the construction of any Public Work or Improvement which involves the use of any funds furnished, given, or loaned by the government of the United States or the State of California, all laws, rules, and regulations of the government of the United States or the State of California or of any of its departments relative to the performance of such work and the conditions under which the work is to be performed, shall prevail over the requirements of this Chapter 6 when such laws, rules, or regulations are in conflict.
(c) Government Entity Agreements. As set forth in Section 1.25 of this Code, any department listed in Section 6.2 of this Code may enter into a Contract with a Government Entity, including for work related to a Public Work or Improvement, to be performed by the Government Entity on City-owned property. Contracts with a Government Entity are exempt from the solicitation requirements imposed by Chapters 6 and 14B of this Code. Contracts with a Government Entity are not subject to the provisions of the Municipal Code, including but not limited to the Administrative, Labor and Employment, Environment, or Police Codes, imposing obligations or other restrictions on contractors. This subsection (c) applies to all Contracts with Government Entities entered into under this Chapter 6, however such Contracts are titled, including but not limited to any agreement, memorandum of understanding, or similar instrument memorializing mutual obligations between the City and a Government Entity or Government Entities.
