About this file

The document is a comprehensive set of contract specifications for the 2020 Annual Sewer Replacement Project Phase 1 by the City of Livermore, California. The project involves sewer infrastructure improvements across various city streets, including replacement of existing sewer mainline pipes, laterals, and maintenance holes, and installation of new cleanouts. Key project elements include street cleaning, asphalt concrete pavement and base repairs, pavement grinding, open trench construction, CIPP lining, utility coordination, traffic striping removal and replacement, concrete infrastructure repairs, crack sealing, micro-surfacing, and asphalt overlays. The project is set to be bid on May 6, 2025, with a bid opening at 2:30 PM, and requires contractors to have appropriate California contractor's licenses and Department of Industrial Relations registration.

The contract is structured as a unit price contract with an estimated total project value, with specific line items for various construction activities. Contractors must provide a bid security of 10% of the maximum bid amount and are required to perform at least 25% of the work with their own forces. The project includes contingency funds for unforeseen laterals, utility conflicts, and tree/root trimming. Substantial completion is expected within 120 working days from the notice to proceed, with liquidated damages of $4,000 per day for substantial completion delays and $3,000 per day for final completion delays. The City will retain 5% of each progress payment, with potential substitution of securities, and requires payment and performance bonds for 100% of the contract price and a warranty bond for 15% of the contract price.

8. Brand Designations and “Or Equal” Substitutions.

Any specification designating a material, product, thing, or service by specific brand or trade name, followed by the words “or equal,” is intended only to indicate quality and type of item desired, and bidders may request use of any equal material, product, thing, or service. All data substantiating the proposed substitute as an “equal” item must be

Livermore Contract Documents, page 9 submitted with the written request for substitution using the form provided in these Contract Documents. All submittals and Requests For Information (RFI) shall not be used for substitution requests as part of the submittal or RFI. All approved submittals, and responses to RFIs which also substitute items do not constitute approval of the substitution request. A request for substitution must be submitted within the time period provided in the applicable Specifications of the Contract Documents. If no time period is specified, the substitution request may be submitted any time within 35 days after the date of award of the Contract. This provision does not apply to materials, products, things, or services that may lawfully be designated by a specific brand or trade name under Public Contract Code, Section 3400(c).

9. Bidders Interested in More Than One Bid.

No person, firm, or corporation may submit or be a party to more than one Bid Proposal unless alternate bids are specifically called for. However, a person, firm, or corporation that has submitted a subcontract proposal or quote to a bidder may submit subcontract proposals or quotes to other bidders, and may also submit a Bid Proposal as a prime contractor.

10. Bid Proposal and Bid Schedule.

Each bidder must fully complete and submit the Bid Proposal form, and, if required by the City, the Bid Schedule form with unit prices.

11. Labor Code, Section 6707 Bids.

Each bid must include a bid item for adequate sheeting, shoring, and bracing, or equivalent method, for the protection of life or limb, which comply with safety orders as required by Labor Code, Section 6707.

12. Incorrect Totals.

12.1. Corrections. After the opening of Bids by the City, City shall review the bids. If a Bid contains mathematical errors, Unit Price omissions, Unit Total omissions or other similar mathematical omissions, the City may correct the mathematical errors or omissions as follows:

12.1.1. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid, and the amount entered as the base bid on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for the base bid will be deemed the base bid price. If the Unit Price is blank but the Unit Total has a legible amount, then the Unit Price shall be corrected to the quotient of the Unit Total divided by the number of Units. If the Unit Price and Unit total are both blank or illegible, then the Unit Price and Unit Total shall be corrected to $0.00.

12.1.2. If the Unit Price has a legible amount, but the product of the number of Units and the Unit Price do not equal the Unit Total or the Unit Total is blank, the Unit Total shall be the corrected product of the number of the number of Units and Unit Price.

Livermore Contract Documents, page 10

12.1.3. If the sum of corrected Unit Totals does not equal the Total Bid, then the corrected Unit Totals shall control and the total Bid shall be corrected.

12.1.4. In the event of a discrepancy between the actual total of the itemized or unit prices shown on the Bid Schedule for any bid alternate, and the amount entered for the alternate on the Bid Proposal form, the actual total of the itemized prices shown on the Bid Schedule for that alternate will be deemed the alternate price.

12.2. Non-Responsive Errors. If the cumulative amount of corrections changes the total amount of the base bid or bid alternate by more than five percent, City may consider the bid non-responsive.

12.3. Withdraw of Bids. Nothing in this Section regarding mistakes and errors is intended to prevent a bidder from requesting to withdraw its bid for material error under Public Contract Code, Section 5100, et. seq.

13. Estimated Quantities.

The quantities shown on the Bid Schedule are estimated and the actual quantities required to perform the Work may be greater or less than the estimated amount. The Contract Price will be adjusted (up or down) to reflect the quantities actually used, and determined to be necessary by the City, to complete the Work by applying the itemized or unit prices provided in the Bid Schedule, and Contract Unit Prices will not be adjusted.

14. Contractor Work Percentage

The Contractor must perform, with its own forces, at least 25 percent of the Work on the Project, calculated as a percentage of the Base Bid price excluding the amount for “specialty items” as designated by the letter S on the Bid Schedule form. The remaining Work may be performed by qualified Subcontractor(s).

15. Bid Security.

Each Bid Proposal must be accompanied by Bid Security of ten percent of the maximum bid amount, in the form of a cashier’s check, a certified check, or a bid bond, using the form included in the Contract Documents, executed by a surety licensed to do business in the State of California, made payable to the City of Livermore. (“Bid Security.”) The Bid Security must be enclosed in the same envelope as the Bid Proposal. The Bid Security must guarantee that within ten days after the City issues the ALB Notice to the apparent low bidder, that bidder will execute and submit the Contract on the form included in the Contract Documents, will submit payment and performance bonds for one hundred percent 100 percent of the Contract Price, a warranty bond for 15 percent of the Contract Price, the insurance certificates, and insurance endorsements as required by the Contract Documents. If the apparent low bidder does not meet these requirements by this deadline, it forfeits its Bid Security.

16. Bid Clarifications.

Livermore Contract Documents, page 11

Questions regarding the Project, the bid procedures, or the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents must be submitted in writing to the Engineer at:

Attention: Vincent Sendaydiego Junior Engineer 101 W. Jack London Boulevard Livermore, CA 94551 vmsendaydiego@livermoreca.gov

Oral responses will have no legal effect. Subject to the limitations of Public Contract Code, Section 4104.5, City reserves the right to issue addenda before the time of the bid opening.

17. Bid Proposal Form and Enclosures.

Conditions, limitations, or provisions contained in the Bid Proposal but not authorized or called for by the Contract Documents may render the Bid Proposal non-responsive. The Bid Proposal form should be fully completed without interlineations, alterations, or erasures.

Livermore Contract Documents, page 12

21. Apparent Low Bidder Notice.

Once City staff has identified the lowest responsive bid submitted by a responsible bidder, that bidder will be considered the Apparent Low Bidder to which the City will send an ALB Notice. The ALB Notice will include copies of the Contract, payment, performance and warranty bonds, as well insurance requirements and request for business licenses to be executed by the bidder which bidder must execute and return to the City within ten days after issuance of the Apparent ALB Notice.

Failure or refusal to provide the fully executed contract documents within ten days after issuance of the Apparent ALB Notice shall be just cause for an annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Bid Security. If the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may award the Contract to the second lowest responsive, responsible bidder. If the second lowest responsive, responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may award the Contract to the third lowest responsive, responsible bidder. On the failure or refusal of such second or third lowest Bidder to execute the Agreement, each such bidder’s Bid Securities shall be likewise forfeited to the City.

22. Bonds.

The successful bidder is required to submit payment, performance, and warranty bonds as specified in the Contract Documents using the bond forms included in the Contract Documents. These bonds must be calculated on the total Contract price as stated in the ALB Notice, including additive alternates, if applicable. The bidder must provide the payment, performance, and warranty bonds within ten days after issuance of the Apparent ALB Notice.

23. Bid Protest.

Any bid protest must be in writing and received by City at the City Clerk’s Office, City of Livermore, 1052 South Livermore Avenue, Livermore, CA 94550 before 5:00 p.m. no later than two Working Days following bid opening and must comply with the following requirements:
