This file contains California Public Contract Code Section 4104.5, which establishes statutory requirements for receiving and processing bids on public works and improvement projects across California state and local agencies. The regulation mandates that the receiving officer, department, board, or commission must specify in the bid invitation and public notice the location and deadline for prime contractor bid submission. If material changes, additions, or deletions to the invitation are issued within 72 hours prior to the bid closing, the deadline must be extended by a minimum of 72 hours. Any bids received after the specified time or extension period must be returned unopened. The statute defines "material change" as any modification with substantial cost impact on the total bid, as determined by the awarding agency, and specifies that "bid invitation" encompasses all documents issued to prime contractors containing work descriptions or specifications regarding bid content, form, or submission manner.
