Cal. Sts. & Hy. Code § 5136
As an alternative procedure for the doing of work authorized by this division, the legislative body may pass a resolution of intention to do such work containing a provision that the work shall be done if any local, state or national agency or authority accepts the proposed work as a project for which a contribution of labor, or labor and any portion of materials, supplies or equipment will be made by such agency or authority. Under such alternative procedure the work to be done by the contractor shall consist of furnishing any or all of the materials, supplies or equipment necessary for the construction of the improvement. When this alternative procedure is adopted, the resolution of intention shall so state and shall recite what contribution is to be made and by whom. The resolution of intention shall also state what work shall be done by the contractor. In all other particulars, the resolution of intention shall be the same as any resolution of intention adopted pursuant to this chapter.
