TITAN ELECTRIC CORPORATION v. LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL
Substitution of subcontractor under Public Contract Code Sec. 4107, which limits the circumstances under which substitution can be made and requires the consent of the authority that awarded the contract to the substitution, permits such consent to be given after the substitute subcontractor has done work, so long as the procedure used actually complies with the substance of the reasonable objectives of the statute: namely, the prevention of bid peddling and bid shopping after the award of a public works contract, and the providing of an opportunity to the awarding authority to investigate the proposed replacement subcontractor before consenting to substitution.
