If the cumulative value of projects otherwise awardable to a bidder would exceed this threshold, the District shall remove projects from that bidder's award recommendation beginning with the lowest-value project and shall award those projects to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder(s), provided such award(s) do not cause the receiving bidder to exceed its applicable threshold. This process shall be repeated as necessary until all projects are awarded and all bidders remain within their allowable capacity limits.
3. No bid will be considered which makes exceptions, changes, or in any manner makes reservations to the terms of the drawings or specifications.
4. Questions regarding documents, discrepancies, omissions, or doubt as to meanings shall be referred immediately to Burbank Unified School District on an RFI form bid (available with the Bid Documents) or via the online Q&A section of the bid page.

10. Bids shall be sealed and filed as indicated in the Notice to Bidders.

RESPONSIBLE BIDDER:
All bidders shall submit promptly to the Owner or its designee, via the Prequalification Form, satisfactory evidence showing the bidder's financial resources, the bidder's experience in the type of work required by the Owner, the bidder's organization available for the performance of the Contract, and any other required evidence of the bidder's and/or its subcontractor's qualifications to perform the proposed Contract. The Owner may consider such evidence before making its decision awarding the proposed Contract. Failure to submit evidence of the bidder's or its subcontractors' responsibility to perform the proposed Contract may result in rejection of the bid. A hearing with Owner’s governing body regarding responsibility is only required upon request of the lowest responsive bidder after an initial determination by the Owner of said bidder’s non-responsibility. No such hearing is required upon an initial determination by the Owner that the lowest responsive bidder is responsible. Contractors will be notified of their (and their subcontractors’) prequalification status within 7 calendar days of the submission of the Prequalification Application(s).
AWARD OF CONTRACT:
Rejection of any or all bids, to contract work with whomever and in whatever manner, to abandon work entirely, and/or to waive any informality in receiving of bids is reserved as the right of the Owner. Before the Contract is awarded, the Owner may at its sole discretion, require from the proposed Contractor on the Project further evidence of the reasonable qualifications of such contractor to faithfully, capably, and reasonably perform such proposed Contract and may consider such evidence before making its decision on the award of such proposed Contract.
The Contract may be split into multiple prime contracts and shall be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder for each Project as interpreted by the Owner under California law and the Contract, including the Notice to Bidders and these Instructions, and a Notice of Intent to Award Contract shall be

delivered to the successful bidder(s). Owner reserves the right, without any liability, to cancel the award of any bid for any reason at any time before the full execution of the Agreement between Owner and Contractor.
EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR:
The Agreement between Owner and Contractor shall be signed by the successful bidder(s) and returned, together with the required Contract bonds, insurance certificates, additional insured endorsement, declarations page and Independent Contractor Student Contact Form, within ten (10) days after delivering of the Notice of Award of Contract. If the ten (10) day period would expire after the date for commencement of the Work, Contractor must submit the documents before the date of commencement of the Work. If the successful bidder does not comply with this paragraph, Owner may revoke and/or cancel the award to the successful bidder and award the Contract to the next lowest bidder or may otherwise proceed as allowed by law.
CONTRACT BONDS:
As required by the Contract Documents, two bonds, as itemized below and in the forms presented in the Contract Documents, shall be furnished by the successful bidder on the Project at the time of entering into the Contract and filed with the Owner before the successful bidder commences any work on the Project.
They shall be in the form of surety bonds issued by Admitted Surety insurers (an insurance organization authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance in the State of California during this calendar year). The surety insurers must, unless otherwise agreed to by Owner in writing, at the time of issuance of the bond, have a rating not lower than “A-” as rated by A.M.

Payment Bond (Labor and Material) in the amount of one hundred percent (100%) of the Contract Sum in accordance with the laws of the State of California to secure payment of any and all claims for labor and materials used or consumed in performance of this Contract.
SUBSTITUTION OF MATERIALS:
The Contractor must ensure that the proposed substitutions by the Contractor or its subcontractors are submitted to the District not less than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the Bid Opening for review and possible approval of any equipment or materials thought to be equal to or better than those specified in the drawings or specifications.

An addendum will be issued seven (7) calendar days prior to Bid Opening, including all equipment and materials deemed equivalent to those specified and approved by the District. Submittals
BID 2627-015 SUMMER 2027 ROOFING AT VARIOUS SITES 6
shall include comparative spec-data of the specified equipment or material, and the proposed substitution as set forth in the Contract Documents. Submittals without this information will be automatically rejected.
PAYMENTS:
Payments to the Contractor on account of the Contract shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Contract Documents. All Applications for Payment must be presented on Form G702/703 and submitted for approval. Copies of this form will be supplied by the Owner.
TAXES:
The Owner is not exempt from payment of California State sales tax on materials.
EARLY TERMINATION:
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if for any fiscal year of this Contract the governing body of the Owner fails to appropriate or allocate funds for future periodic payments under the Contract after exercising reasonable efforts to do so, the Owner may upon thirty (30) days' notice, order work on the Project to cease. The Owner will remain obligated to pay for the work already performed but shall not be obligated to pay the balance remaining unpaid beyond the fiscal period for which funds have been appropriated or allocated and for which the work has not been done.
TIME OF COMPLETION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES:
Time is of the essence in this Contract, and the date of completion for this Project shall be on or before August 6, 2027.
Liquidated damages will accrue and may be assessed as provided in the Contract Documents. Should said Work not be completed within the time limit as may be extended as herein provided, damages will be sustained by the Owner. It is understood and agreed that it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the actual amount of damages which the Owner will sustain in the event of and by reason of such delay, and it is therefore agreed that the Contractor will pay the Owner the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) per calendar day for each and every day's delay beyond the time specified as and for liquidated damages, during or as a result of each calendar day by which completion of the Project is delayed beyond the completion date; in case the Contractor fails to make such payment, the Owner may deduct the amount thereof from any money due or that may become due the Contractor under the Contract. Should such money not be sufficient, the Owner shall have the right to recover the balance from the Contractor or its sureties.
PERMITS AND FEES:
The District is providing the plans and specifications for which the District is paying for permits and fees.
If other items or work that are being provided by Contractor should require permits or fees, Contractor shall be solely responsible for obtaining, and shall pay for such permits or fees.

The Contractor is responsible for returning the keys upon completion of the work. Retention will not be released until keys are returned and the cost to rekeying will be deducted from retention.
The keys must not be duplicated.

The Contract Documents are complementary, and each obligation of the Contractor, Subcontractors, material or equipment suppliers in any shall be binding as if specified in all.
1.1.2 THE CONTRACT
The Contract Documents form the Contract. The “Contract” represents the entire and integrated agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes prior negotiations, representations, or agreements, either written or oral.
The Contract may be amended or modified only by a written Modification. The Contract Documents shall not be construed to create a contractual relationship of any kind between the Architect and Contractor, between the Owner and any Subcontractor or Sub-subcontractor, or between any persons or entities other than the Owner and the Contractor. The terms of the Contract shall not be waived, altered, modified, supplemented or amended in any manner whatsoever except by written agreement signed by the parties and approved or ratified by the Governing Board.
1.1.3 THE WORK
The “Work” shall include all labor, materials, services and equipment necessary for the Contractor to fulfill all of its obligations pursuant to the Contract Documents, including but not limited to punch list items. It shall include the initial obligation of any Contractor or Subcontractor, who performs any portion of the Work, to visit the Site of the proposed Work with Owner’s representatives, a continuing obligation after the commencement of the Work to fully acquaint and familiarize itself with the conditions as they exist and the character of the operations to be carried on under the Contract Documents, and make such investigation as it may see fit so that it shall fully understand the facilities, physical conditions, and restrictions attending the Work under the Contract Documents. Each such Contractor or Subcontractor shall also thoroughly examine and become familiar with the Drawings, Specifications, and associated bid documents. The “Site” refers to the grounds of the Project as defined in the Contract Documents and such adjacent lands as may be directly affected by the performance of the Work. The Work shall constitute a “work of improvement” under Civil Code section 8050 and Public Contract Code section 7107.

1.1.4 THE PROJECT
The “Project” is the total construction of the Work performed in accordance with the Contract Documents in whole or in part and which may include construction by the Owner or by separate contractors.
1.1.5 THE DRAWINGS
The “Drawings” are graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents prepared for the Project and approved changes thereto, wherever located and whenever issued, showing the design, location, and scope of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules, and diagrams as drawn or approved by the Architect.
1.1.6 THE SPECIFICATIONS
The “Specifications” are that portion of the Contract Documents consisting of the written requirements for material, equipment, construction systems, instructions, quality assurance standards, workmanship, and performance of related services.
1.1.7 THE PROJECT MANUAL
The “Project Manual” is the volume usually assembled for the Work which may include, without limitation, the bidding requirements, sample forms, Agreement, Conditions of the Contract, and Specifications.
1.1.8 OR
“Or” shall include “and/or.”
1.1.9 COMPLETION
Statutory definitions of “completion” and “complete” shall apply for those statutory purposes. For accrual of liquidated damages, Claim and warranty purposes, “completion” and “complete” mean the point in the Project where (1) Contractor has fully and correctly performed all Work in all parts and requirements, including corrective and punch list work, and (2) Owner’s representatives have conducted a final inspection that confirmed this performance. Substantial, or any other form of partial or non-compliant, performance of the Work shall not constitute “completion” or “complete” under the Contract Documents.
1.2 EXECUTION, CORRELATION AND INTENT
1.2.1 CORRELATION AND INTENT
1.2.1.1 Documents Complementary and Inclusive. The Contract Documents are complementary and are intended to include all items required for the proper execution and completion of the Work. Any item of work mentioned in the Specifications and not shown on the Drawings, or shown on the Drawings and not mentioned in the Specifications, shall be provided by Contractor as if shown or mentioned in both.
1.2.1.2 Coverage of the Drawings and Specifications. The Drawings and Specifications generally describe the work to be performed by Contractor. Generally, the Specifications describe work which cannot be readily indicated on the Drawings and indicate types, qualities, and methods of installation of the various materials and equipment required for the Work. It is not intended to mention every item of Work in the Specifications, which can be adequately shown on the Drawings, or to show on the Drawings all items of Work described or required by the Specifications even if they are of such nature that they could have been shown. All materials or labor for Work, which
BID 2627-015 SUMMER 2027 ROOFING AT VARIOUS SITES 3
is shown on the Drawings or the Specifications (or is reasonably inferable therefrom as being necessary to complete the Work), shall be provided by the Contractor whether or not the Work is expressly covered in the Drawings or the Specifications. It is intended that the Work be of sound, quality construction, and the Contractor shall be responsible for the inclusion of adequate amounts to cover installation of all items indicated, described, or implied in the portion of the Work to be performed by Contractor.
1.2.1.3 Conflicts. Without limiting Contractor’s obligation to identify conflicts for resolution by the Owner, it is intended that the more stringent, higher quality, and greater quantity of Work shall apply.
1.2.1.4 Conformance with Laws. Each and every provision of law required by law to be inserted in this Contract shall be deemed to be inserted herein, and the Contract shall be read and enforced as though it were included herein, and if through mistake or otherwise any such provision is not inserted, or is not correctly inserted, then upon application of either party the Contract shall be amended in writing to make such insertion or correction.
Before commencing any portion of the Work, Contractor shall check and review the Drawings and Specifications for such portion for conformance and compliance with all laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations of all governmental authorities and public utilities affecting the construction and operation of the physical plant of the Project, all quasi-governmental and other regulations affecting the construction and operation of the physical plant of the Project, and other special requirements, if any, designated in the Contract Documents. In the event Contractor observes any violation of any law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, or inconsistency with any such restrictions or special requirements of the Contract Documents, Contractor shall promptly notify Architect and Owner in writing of same and shall ensure that any such violation or inconsistency shall be corrected in the manner provided hereunder prior to the construction of that portion of the Project. Where requirements of the Contract Documents exceed those of the applicable building codes and ordinances, the Contract Documents shall govern. Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws.
If, as and to the extent that Public Contract Code section 1104 is deemed to apply after the Award of the Contract, Contractor shall not be required to assume responsibility for the completeness and accuracy of architectural or engineering plans and specifications, notwithstanding any other provision in the Contract Documents, except to the extent that Contractor discovered or should have discovered and reported any errors and omissions to the Architect or Owner, including but not limited to as the result of any review of the plans and specifications by Contractor required by the Instructions to Bidders or other Contract Documents, whether or not actually performed by Contractor.
1.2.1.5 Ambiguity. Before commencing any portion of the Work, Contractor shall carefully examine all Drawings and Specifications and other information given to Contractor as to materials and methods of construction and other Project requirements. Contractor shall immediately notify Architect and Owner in writing of any perceived or alleged error, inconsistency, ambiguity, or lack of detail or explanation in the Drawings and Specifications in the manner provided herein. If the Contractor or its Subcontractors, material or equipment suppliers, or any of their officers, agents, and employees performs, permits, or causes the performance of any Work under the Contract Documents, which it knows or should have known to be in error, inconsistent, or ambiguous, or not sufficiently detailed or explained, Contractor shall bear any and all costs arising therefrom including, without limitation, the cost of correction thereof without increase or adjustment to the Contract Sum or the time for performance. If Contractor performs, permits, or causes the performance of any Work under the Contract Documents prepared by or on behalf of Contractor which is in error, inconsistent or ambiguous, or not sufficiently detailed or explained, Contractor shall bear any and all resulting costs, including, without limitation, the cost of correction, without increase to or adjustment in the Contract Sum or the time for performance.
