the ability of the City to effect public works projects through the use of
its own forces and otherwise. Pursuant to the provisions of said Section
1012, it is the intention of the City Council to raise the value of projects
which may be performed, through force account, or otherwise from $3,500.00
to $10,000.00.

Of Cypress to read as follows:

involving an expenditure of more than $10,000.00 for the construction,
improvement, repair or maintenance of public works shall be let in
accordance with the procedures set forth in the Charter of the City
of Cypress. Such projects involving an expenditure of $10,000 or less
may be effected by the use of City forces or let through informal
bid procedures applicable to the purchase of supplies and equipment.
SECTION 3. Severability.

or portion of this ordinance, or the application thereof to any person or
place, is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the deci-
sion of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance or its application
to other persons or places. The City Council hereby declares that it would
have adopted this ordinance, and each section, subsection, subdivision,
sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof, irrespective of the fact that
