If the bidder is insured with a carrier, the evidence of workers’ compensation insurance shall be a copy of the “Information Page” which includes the name and address of the insured, as well as class codes upon which the compensation premium is based and the total estimated remuneration per class code.

6. A statement of compliance with all provisions of the Illinois Prevailing Wage

Act (820 ILCS 130), as amended, and all the rules and regulations therein, for the past five (5) years. Such statement shall also provide that the contractor has reviewed the Prevailing Wage Act or the federal Davis-Bacon and Related Acts, has reviewed and agrees to pay the applicable prevailing wage rates attached to the bid specifications, and will strictly comply with the Prevailing Wage Act or federal Davis-Bacon and Related Acts and related requirements, including wages, medical and hospitalization insurance and retirement for those trades covered in the Act. A contractor who has been found, by the Illinois Department of Labor, to be in violation of the Prevailing Wage Act twice within a three (3) year period shall be deemed to not be Responsible Bidder for two (2) years from the date of the latest finding.

7. Certification of compliance with the Substance Abuse Prevention on Public

Works Projects Act (820 ILCS 265/1, et seq.).

8. A certification that individuals who perform work on the public works project on behalf of the contractor are properly classified as either (i) an employee, or (ii) an independent contractor under all applicable state and federal laws and local ordinances.

9. Documents evidencing any professional or trade licenses required by law or local ordinance for any trade or specialty in which the contractor is seeking a contract award. Additionally, the contractor must disclose any suspension or revocation of such license held by the company, or of any director, officer, or manager of the company.

10. For construction contracts (construction of new facilities, renovation of existing facilities, or road construction projects), or demolition contracts, over $25,000 (twenty five thousand dollars), evidence of participation in apprenticeship and training programs applicable to the work to be performed on the project, which are approved by and registered with the

United States Department of Labor’s Office of Apprenticeship, or its successor organization. The required evidence includes but is not limited to a copy of all applicable apprenticeship standards or Apprenticeship

Agreement(s) for any apprentice(s) who will perform work on the public works project.

11. Disclosure of the name and address of each subcontractor from whom the contractor has accepted a bid and/or intends to hire on any part of the project. Further, each such subcontractor shall be required to adhere to the requirements set forth herein as though it were bidding directly to the city.

Each contractor shall submit all subcontractor information and supporting documentation to the city prior to the subcontractor commencing work on the project.

12. Unless otherwise agreed to in a collective bargaining agreement, the bidder shall certify that it provides, or contributes to, a health care plan for those employees working on the project and shall provide a copy of the health care plan upon request. The contributions toward a health care plan must be part of the employee’s regular compensation, and not merely part of the employee’s compensation during the period of time for which the employee is performing work on the project.

13. Unless otherwise agreed to in a collective bargaining agreement, the bidder shall certify that it contributes to an employee pension or retirement program, including but not limited to a 401k, a defined benefit plan or a similar plan for its field employees working on the project and shall provide a copy of the plan upon request.

Davis-Bacon and Related Acts.

15. Whenever practical, the bidder should prequalify as a local bidder.

16. Any material changes to the contractor’s status, at any time during the performance of the project, must be reported in writing to the city within fourteen (14) days of its occurrence. Failure to comply with this requirement is grounds for the contractor to be deemed a non-responsible bidder.

17. The submission requirements of this Ordinance also apply to subcontractors, except that the contractor shall submit all subcontractor submissions to the city prior to the subcontractor commencing work on the project. Failure of a subcontractor to submit the required information shall not disqualify the successful bidder from performing work on the project and shall not constitute a contractual default and/or breach by the successful bidder. However, the city may withhold all payments otherwise due for work performed by a subcontractor until the subcontractor submits the required information and the city approves such information. Further, where the city deems necessary, the city may also require that the successful bidder remove the subcontractor from the project and replace it with a responsive and responsible subcontractor.

RE: 2025 Construc�on Projects

Dear General Contractor:

The City of Joliet currently has specifica�ons requiring ten percent (10%) minority par�cipa�on in contracts over $100,00.00. In an effort to track this informa�on, the City of Joliet will require all General Contractors to submit a complete list of subcontractors they intend to use on the awarded project at the pre-construc�on mee�ng.

This subcontractor list will help the City ensure that minority par�cipa�on requirements, as well as prevailing wage requirements, are met. The list should include the dollar amount or percentage of the contract corresponding to the work each subcontractor will perform. Illinois Department of Transporta�on

(IDOT) Form BC 260-A is an example of an acceptable format.

In addi�on, the specifica�ons require that monthly cer�fied payroll records be submited to the Engineer. This requirement will be enforced during the upcoming construc�on season.

The City of Joliet appreciates your efforts throughout the years and looks forward to working with you in the upcoming construc�on season.

Sincerely, Director of Purchasing
