SECTION 2: TERMS AND CONDITIONS

RECIPROCAL PREFERENCE FOR RESIDENT CONTRACTORS

In accordance with RCW 39.04.380 the State of Washington is enforcing a Reciprocal Preference for Resident Contractors. Any public works bid received from a nonresident contractor from a state that provides an in-state percentage bidding preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage must be applied to the bid of that nonresident contractor.

a. is from a state that provides a percentage bid preference to its resident contractors bidding on public works contracts.

b. at the time of bidding on a public works project, does not have a physical office located in Washington.

The state of residence for a nonresident contractor is the state in which the contractor was incorporated or, if not a corporation, the state where the contractor's business entity was formed.

All nonresident contractors will be evaluated for out of state bidder preference. If the state of the nonresident contractor provides an in-state contractor preference, a comparable percentage disadvantage will be applied to their bid prior to contract award.

This section does not apply to public works procured pursuant to RCW 39.04.155, 39.04.280, or any other procurement exempt from competitive bidding.

PREVAILING WAGE REQUIREMENTS

An approved "Affidavit of Wages Paid" form must be filed upon completion of the project before release of retainage.

In addition, the Contractor and each subcontractor shall submit weekly certified payrolls as required by the contract.

E-VERIFY PROGRAM

Contractor shall register and enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Department of Homeland Security E-Verify program within sixty (60) days after execution of this Agreement. Contractor shall ensure all Contractor employees and any sub-contractor(s) assigned to perform work under this Agreement are eligible to work in the United States.

Contractor shall provide verification of compliance upon City request. Failure by Contractor to comply with this subsection shall be considered a material breach.

Bidders may not alter their bid prices after the hour set for the public Bid Opening, unless the award of contract is delayed for more than forty-five (45) days. The City reserves the right to request an extension of time for firm bid prices during any such delay to allow for the review process.

FAILURE TO EXECUTE CONTRACT
