Brutoco Engineering & Construction, Inc. v. Superior Court

Opinion

RICHLI, Acting P. J.

This action involves the procedure to be followed in a contractual arbitration between the Department of Transportation of the State of California (State) and a private party or parties, as governed by the Public Contract Code.
