Summary of SS4A Package 1 Contract Documents
This appendix contains standardized forms and evaluation criteria used by the City of Seattle's Department of Finance and Administrative Services, Purchasing and Contracting Division for the SS4A Package 1 project involving street improvements at seven Seattle intersections. The project scope includes new curb ramps, sidewalk repair, and traffic signal improvements with new pushbuttons at designated locations including Airport Way South & South Royal Brougham Way, Rainier Avenue South & South Weller Street, and five University Way Northeast intersections. The Engineer's Estimate ranges from $2,500,000 to $2,700,000. The documentation establishes requirements for payment and performance bonds, subcontractor approval processes, contractor performance evaluations across construction work, contract compliance, and labor equity categories, and supplemental bidder responsibility criteria including compliance history, personnel qualifications, and work experience verification. The forms require submission of social equity plans addressing WMBE inclusion goals, apprenticeship utilization requirements for projects exceeding $1 million, and priority hire workforce projections for Community Workforce Agreement-covered projects of $5 million and over.
The contract documents establish comprehensive responsibility and compliance standards for bidders and contractors. All sureties must appear on the United States Treasury Department's Circular 570 list or maintain an A-:VII rating in A.M. Best's Key Rating Guide and be authorized by the Washington State Insurance Commissioner. Bidders must complete supplemental responsibility criteria addressing compliance history over preceding three to five years, including performance evaluations, anti-discrimination violations, prevailing wage compliance, apprenticeship requirements, labor equity adherence, workplace safety standards, and environmental compliance. Key personnel including superintendent and project manager must submit detailed resumes with three years of project references. The documents include specific wage and benefit requirements, debarment verification, and occupational safety compliance through Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. Contractor performance is evaluated on construction work quality, contract compliance, and labor equity metrics, with scoring categories ranging from "Deficient" (0-59) to "Superior" (90-100).

0 0 0 0.00% 0
For projects $1 million or more, the prime contractor shall ensure that ___% of the total contract labor hours utilized on the Project are performed by apprentices registered with the Washington State Apprenticeship and Training Council (WSATC). The prime contractor should explore different avenues to meet the apprenticeship requirement and should include the apprentice utilization requirements in all subcontracts as a flowdown provision to ensure that all subcontractors working on the project contribute to attaining the apprentice utilization requirements. The prime contractor remains responsible for meeting the apprentice utilization requirements of the contract, including overall compliance on all contract labor hours worked by subcontractors. For assistance with available resources for apprenticeship programs, contact the Contract Analyst assigned to the project.
List the prime and all subcontractors scheduled to work on this project, and indicate trade craft or classification and the estimated number of hours to be performed by journey level and apprentice workers for each.
Note : To change the apprentice utilization requirement after contract award, the prime contractor must fill out the Apprentice Utilization Proposal Plan and make a written request to PC to reduce the required apprentice utilization percentage. The request must include documentation of the contractor's good faith efforts to hire apprentices with WSATC-approved programs.
Documents shall demonstrate that an inadequate number of apprentices are available to meet the required apprentice utilization percentage or that there is a disproportionately high ratio of material costs to labor hours, which does not make the required minimum levels of apprentice participation feasible for this contract, and that the contractor has made good faith efforts to comply with the requirement. Requests without the Apprentice Utilization Proposal Plan form will not be accepted. PC will evaluate the request, and if appropriate, a Change Order will be prepared by the Project Engineer. If PC determines that a reduction in the required utilization percentage is not justified, PC will communicate the decision in writing to the prime contractor.
