shall not exceed five percent of the payment; and
WHEREAS, Public Contract Code Section 7201(b)(4) states that the
retention proceeds withheld from any payment by a public entity may exceed five
percent on specific projects where the governing board approves a finding during

for bids, that a project is substantially complex and, therefore, requires a higher
retention amount than five percent, and the public entity includes such findings
and the actual retention amount in the bid documents; and

million and is funded by various sources of City funds, including bond funds
b. The Project is subject to levels of inspection beyond those required of other

coordination of work between the trades; the level of inspections and
testing; and conformance to the Los Angeles County Fire Department and
