Bid #MWJ2605 – Roof Replacement SCLC/OHC

City Colleges of Chicago 5 September 2, 2026

00100 BIDDING REQUIREMENTS

1.01 Compliance with Laws

The bidder shall at all times observe and comply with all laws, ordinances, regulations and codes of the Federal, State, and City governments and the Board of Trustees of Community College District 508 (Owner, Board, City Colleges, CCC) which may in any manner affect the preparations of bids or the performance of the Contract.

1.02 Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974

The Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 of the United States Code, Title 38, Part III, Chapter 42, in part, as follows:

"Any contract in the amount of $10,000 or more entered into by any department or agency for the procurement of personal property and non-personal services (including construction) for the United States, shall contain a provision requiring that the party contracting with the United States shall take affirmative action to employ and advance in employment qualified disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam era.

The provisions of this section shall apply to any subcontract entered into by a prime Contractor...."

The regulations require that: (1) Contractors list immediately with the appropriate local employment service office all of their suitable employment openings, and (2) each local employment service office gives such veterans priority in referral to openings.

Veterans who believe that a Contractor has failed or refused to comply with the above contract provisions may file a complaint with the Veterans' Employment Service of the Labor Department. The Secretary of Labor will investigate and take action on any such complaints.

Federal Contractors and Subcontractors, including colleges and universities, are now involved with the concept of "affirmative action" in three separate areas of federal law: Executive Orders 11246 and 11375, which require affirmative action for eliminating discrimination based upon race, color, religion, sex and national origin; Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires affirmative action in the employment of mentally and physically handicapped individuals; and the above mentioned requirements for veterans' employment.

These obligations of federal Contractors should not be confused with nondiscrimination in employment re-quirements for all employers under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended) and the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (as amended), or with sex discrimination requirements for all recipients of federal financial assistance under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972.

1.03 Examination by Bidder

The bidder shall, before submitting a bid, carefully examine the bid, plans, specifications, and contract documents. If Bidder fails to call out items that needs further clarification in the specifications, it is the Bidder’s responsibility to follow-up with CCC for clarification. Bidder shall inspect in detail the site of the proposed work and familiarize themselves with all the local conditions affecting the contract.

If their bid is accepted, bidder will be responsible for all errors in his bid resulting from their failure or neglect to comply with these instructions. The City Colleges of Chicago will, in no case, be responsible for any change in anticipated profits resulting from such failure or neglect.

Failure of the Contractor to familiarize themselves with all requirements of the Contract Documents will not relieve bidder from complying with all of the provisions thereof.

1.24 Minimum Wage Ordinance

Effective December 11, 2014, City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) adopted Mayoral Executive Order 2014-1 which provides for a fair and adequate Minimum Wage to be paid to employees of CCC contractors and subcontractors performing work on CCC contracts. A copy of the Order may be downloaded from the Chicago City Clerk's website at:

https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/bacp/supp_info/minimumwageinformation.html.

If this contract was advertised on or after December 11, 2014, Contractor must comply with Mayoral Executive Order 2014-1 and any applicable regulations issued by the Vice Chancellor of Business and Procurement Services. The Minimum Wage to be paid, pursuant to the Order as of July 1, 2026, is $17.05 per hour. The Minimum Wage must be paid to:

• All employees regularly performing work on CCC property or at a CCC jobsite.

• All employees whose regular work entails performing a service for CCC under a CCC contract.

The Minimum Wage is not required to be paid to employees whose work is performed in general support of contractor’s operations, does not directly relate to the services provided to CCC under the contract, and is included in the contract price as overhead, unless that employee's regularly assigned work location is on CCC property or at a CCC jobsite. It is also not required to be paid by employers that are 501(c)(3) not-for-profits.

Except as further described, the Minimum Wage is also not required to be paid to categories of employees subject to subsection 4(a)(2), subsection 4(a)(3), subsection 4(d), subsection 4(e), or Section 6 of the Illinois Minimum Wage Law, 820 ILCS 105/1 et seq., in force as of the date of this Contract or as amended.

Nevertheless, the Minimum Wage is required to be paid to those workers described in subsections 4(a)(2)(A) and 4(a)(2)(B) of the Illinois Minimum Wage Law.

Additionally, the Minimum Wage is not required to be paid to employees subject to a collective bargaining agreement that provides for different wages than those required by Mayoral Executive Order 2014-1, if that collective bargaining agreement was in force prior to December 11, 2014, or if that collective bargaining agreement clearly and specifically waives the requirements of the order.

If the payment of a prevailing wage is required and the prevailing wage is higher than the Minimum Wage, then the Contractor must pay the prevailing wage.

1.25 Prevailing Wages

A. This contract calls for the construction of a “public work,” within the meaning of the Illinois

Prevailing Wage Act, 820 ILCS 130/.01 et seq. (“the Act”). The Act requires contractors and subcontractors to pay laborers, workers and mechanics performing services on public works projects no less than the current “prevailing rate of wages” (hourly cash wages plus amount for fringe benefits) in the county where the work is performed. The Department publishes the prevailing wage rates on its website at http://labor.illinois.gov/. The Department revises the prevailing wage rates and the contractor/subcontractor has an obligation to check the Department’s web site for revisions to prevailing wage rates. For information regarding current prevailing wage https://www.chicago.gov/city/en/depts/bacp/supp_info/minimumwageinformation.html

B. As a condition of making payment to the Contractor, CCC will request the Contractor to submit an affidavit to the effect that not less than the prevailing hourly wage rate is being paid to laborers, mechanics, and other workmen employed on this Contract in accordance with Illinois law.

C. Additionally, all contractors and subcontractors shall provide all labor compliance data via CCC’s electronic monitoring system, LCPTracker, at https://fortifyv2.lcptracker.net/. Payroll information and labor hours shall be submitted weekly in the system. Failure to properly and timely record certified payroll data in LCPTracker will delay vendor payments

1.26 Workforce Diversity

City Colleges of Chicago promotes a spirit of diversity and inclusion as reflected in both its student population and in its employee workforce. Similarly, it is our expectation that our contractors will endeavor to ensure that all on-site construction workforce personnel reflect the diversity of CCC students, staff and the surrounding communities.

City Colleges of Chicago may terminate this Contract, or any portion of the Services to be performed under it, at any time for convenience by a notice in writing from CCC to the Bidder when the Contract may be deemed no longer in the best interest of CCC.

Termination for Default. Subject to Section 10(a) herein, this Agreement may also be terminated for default. Each of the following shall constitute an event of default by Vendor (“Default”).

i. Any material misrepresentation, whether in the inducement or in the performance, made by the

Vendor to the Institution; and

ii. A breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement; and

iii. The insolvency, bankruptcy or committing of any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, or making an assignment for the benefit of creditors; and

iv. Failure to comply with or perform any material provision of this Agreement; and

v. Failure or refusal to provide enough properly skilled personnel, adequate supervision, or adequate materials and equipment of the proper quality to perform the Services; and

vi. Causing, by any action or omission, the stoppage, delay of, or interference with, the work of any other Vendor or subconsultant.

If a court of competent jurisdiction rules that termination of this Agreement by the Institution for default of Vendor was wrongful, then the termination shall be deemed to have been a termination for convenience.

a. Curable and Incurable Defaults. Time-sensitive defaults (e.g., failure to meet deadlines) are not curable unless the Institution, in its sole and absolute discretion, extends the deadline. Such extension, however, does not relieve Vendor of liability for any damages the Institution may suffer.

Vendor shall cure any default that is not time-sensitive with ten (10) calendar days after Vendor is given notice of the default.

b. Remedies. In addition to any other remedies contained herein, the Institution may invoke any or all of the following remedies for a Default:

i. Complete the Services at Vendor’s expense, either directly or through the use of contractors and subcontractors; or

ii. Receive a refund or withhold all or any portion of the Fee; or

iii. Demand specific performance, an injunction or any other appropriate equitable remedy; or

iv. Terminate this Agreement.

c. Right to Offset. All costs incurred by the Institution due to: (i) termination of this Agreement for default;

or (ii) Vendor’s performance of the Services; or (iii) Institution’s exercise of any of the remedies available herein, may be offset by: (i) any credits due to or overpayments made by the Institution; or (ii) any payments due to Vendor for Services completed. If such amount offset is insufficient to cover those excess costs, Vendor shall be liable for and promptly remit to the Institution the balance upon written demand. This right to offset is in addition to and not a limitation on any other remedies available to the Institution.

No remedy hereunder is exclusive of any other remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and in

Bid #MWJ2605 – Roof Replacement SCLC/OHC

City Colleges of Chicago 16 September 2, 2026 addition to any other remedies at law, in equity or by statute existing now or hereafter. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or power nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any Default or acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised periodically and as often as may be deemed expedient. If the Institution considers it to be in the Institutions best interest, it may choose not to declare a default or terminate the Agreement. The parties acknowledge that this provision is solely for the benefit of the Institution and that if the Institution permits Vendor to continue providing Services despite one or more events of default, the Vendor is in no way relieved of any of its duties and obligations under the Agreement and the Institution does not waive or relinquish any of its rights.

Additional Provisions. The parties further agree the following provisions:

a. Cooperation with Successors. If this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason, Vendor shall use its best efforts to assure an orderly transition to Institution and to the successor vendor, if any. Vendor must make an orderly demobilization of its own operations provide the Services uninterrupted until the effective day of such termination or expiration, and otherwise comply with the reasonable requests and requirements of the Institution in connection with the termination or expiration.
