Section 5080.07

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 11080 and 11081 of the Government Code, public notice to bidders shall be given of all proposed contracts authorizing the occupancy of property in the state park system for a period of more than three years, as follows:

(1) The department shall advertise the notice through appropriate public media to the extent that the department determines is sufficient to provide adequate coverage.

(2) If the director determines that, in view of the type of concession involved, the public interest would be best served by the solicitation of bids from out-of-state bidders, the director shall give additional notice as the director finds is best suited to attract bids from out-of-state bidders.

(b) The published notice shall state where bid forms may be obtained, the time and place for the receiving and opening of sealed bids, and shall describe, in general terms, the concession to be operated.
