CA Gov't Code Section 16352.5

There is hereby appropriated from the money in the State Construction Program Fund derived from the proceeds of bonds sold pursuant to the Community College Construction Program Bond Act of 1972, an amount sufficient to provide for payment of community college projects for which an appropriation is available where such project cannot be undertaken because the total project cost based on bids is in excess of the funds available. The provisions of this section shall be applicable only under all of the following limitations:

(1)

The augmentation allocation shall be calculated only on the state’s share of the total project cost and on the same basis as the original appropriation.

(2)

The augmentation allocation shall be granted, if otherwise justified, only on condition that the contract award is made within one year from the effective date of the appropriation, except that augmentation allocations for projects originally appropriated in the 1972 budget shall be granted, if otherwise justified on condition that the contract award is made prior to June 30, 1974.

(3)

The augmentation allocation for the state’s share of the project would be five thousand dollars ($5,000) or more.

Expenditures shall be pursuant to executive orders of the Director of Finance upon recommendations by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and approval of the State Public Works Board.
