This is a Conditional Waiver and Release form related to the Culinary Arts Modernization Project being executed by the William S. Hart Union High School District in Santa Clarita, California. The document serves as a final payment release mechanism, whereby contractors acknowledge receipt of full compensation and waive claims against the district upon project completion. The project encompasses culinary arts classroom upgrades across six high schools, requiring removal and replacement of countertops, sinks, and electrical infrastructure. Work is scheduled in two phases: Phase 1 during Winter Break from December 22, 2025, to January 9, 2026, focusing on quartz countertops and electrical work, and Phase 2 from March 25, 2026, to June 30, 2026, for installation of stainless steel countertops with integral sinks. A mandatory job walk occurs on October 15, 2025, at 10:00 am at Golden Valley High School, with electronic bid submissions due via the District's eProcurement Portal by November 3, 2025, at 2:00 pm.

The project requires a single prime contractor holding an active Class B (General Contractor) license and must comply with prevailing wage laws, Department of Industrial Relations registration, and Workers' Compensation Experience Modification Rate requirements of 1.25 or less. Bidders must maintain zero Serious and Willful violations within the past five years and provide comprehensive certifications including asbestos-free material declarations and drug-free workplace confirmations. The project is executed under the Statewide Educational Wrap Up Program (SEWUP) Joint Powers Authority, which provides Owner Controlled Insurance Program coverage with approximately $800 million in total liability coverage. The procurement includes a $50,000 owner-controlled allowance and encourages participation from Disabled Veterans Business Enterprises (DVBE), though a specific total project budget is not explicitly stated in the available documentation.
