Pursuant to the provisions of Section 1770 of the Labor Code, the general prevailing rate of wages has been ascertained (which rate includes employer payments for health and welfare, vacation, pension and similar purposes) applicable to the work to be done, for straight time, overtime, Saturday, Sunday and holiday work. The holiday wage rate listed shall be applicable to all holidays recognized in the collective bargaining agreement of the particular craft, classification or type of workmen concerned.

The City will not recognize any claim for additional compensation because of the payment by the Contractor of any wage rate in excess of the prevailing wage rate or the Federal Minimum Wage Rate (whichever is greater) as set forth in the contract. The possibility of wage increases is one of the elements to be considered by the Contractor in determining his/her bid, and will not under any circumstances be considered as the basis of a claim against the City on the contract.

The Contractor and subcontractors shall comply with Section 1777.6 which stipulates that it shall be unlawful to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age, except as provided in Section 3077, of such employee.

B -20. Certified Payrolls All contractors shall keep weekly payroll records, which shall be certified under penalty of perjury to record the proper payment of prevailing wages for each public works project. The City will accept computer printouts (which are then certified) in lieu of the standard form so long as the computer printout provides all of the same information as required on the certified payroll form.

Failure to provide the certified payrolls within 10 days of a written deficiency notice from the City will result in a penalty of $25.00 per day per worker for each day of violation. Labor Code Section 1776.

The City maintains the right to withhold any and all funds due a contractor and/or his/her subcontractors in the event that certified payrolls are not maintained and provided to the City upon request.

B -21. Penalties Failure to pay the appropriate prevailing wage can result in penalties being assessed as follows:

a. Up to $50.00 per day per worker for each and every violation; and,

b. debarment from future public works for a period not to exceed three years.

c. $25.00 per day per worker for each failure to comply with the payment of overtime for all hours worked in excess of 8 in one day or 40 in one week.

Failure to register to train apprentices or failure to pay the appropriate training contribution can result in penalties being assessed as follows:

a. $50.00 per day for each day of violation; and,

b. debarment from future public works for a period not to exceed three years.

B -22. Prohibition Against Employment Discrimination All contractors shall employ workers without regard to race, gender, marital status, ethnicity, religion, age or medical condition as set forth in the California Labor Code Section 1777.6; the Government Code, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

B -23. Clayton Act and Cartwright Act In accordance with Section 7103 of the Public Contract Code, in entering into a public works contract or a subcontract to supply goods, services or materials pursuant to a public works contract, the contractor or subcontractor offers and agrees to assign to the awarding body all rights, and interest in and all causes of action it may have under Section 4 of the Clayton Act (15 U.S.C. Sec. 15) or under the Cartwright Act (Chapter 2(commencing with Section 16700) of Part 2 of Division 7 of the Business and Professions Code), arising from purchases of goods, services, or materials pursuant to the public works contract or the subcontract. This assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the awarding body tenders final payment to the contractor, without further acknowledgment by the parties.

B -24. Subletting and Subcontracting Pursuant to the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (commencing with Section 4100 of the Public Contract Code), bidders are required to list in their proposal the name and location of place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render services in or about the construction of the work or improvement or a subcontractor who specially fabricates and installs a portion of the work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the Plans and Specifications in excess of 1/2 of 1% of this prime Contractor's total bid or $10,000, whichever is greater. Failure to list a subcontractor for a portion of the work means that the prime Contractor will do that portion of the work. It is the City’s intent for the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act to apply to all phases of the work.

B -25. Substitution of Securities In conformance with the State of California Government Code, Chapter 13, Section 4590, the Contractor may substitute securities for any monies withheld by the Agency to performance under the contract.

At the request and expense of the Contractor, securities equivalent to the amount withheld shall be deposited with the City, or with a State or federally chartered bank as the escrow agent, who shall pay such monies to the Contractor upon notification by the City of Contractor's satisfactory completion of the contract.

The type of securities deposited and the method of release shall be approved by the City Attorney's office.

The work for which this proposal is submitted is for construction in conformance with the Contract Bid Documents (including the payment of not less than the State general prevailing wage rates or Federal minimum wage rates), the project plans described below, including any addenda thereto, the contract annexed hereto, and also in conformance with the Plans, Specifications and Contract Documents as specified within.

The contract bid documents and project plans for the work to be done are entitled:

(Tucker Street, Bradfield Avenue, and Greenleaf Blvd)

CIP #18-01

Bids are to be submitted for the entire work. The amount of the bid for comparison purposes will be the total of all items.

The bidder shall set forth for each unit basis item of work a unit price and a total for the item, and for each lump sum item a total for the item, all in clearly legible figures in the respective spaces provided for that purpose. In the case of unit basis items, the amount set forth under the "Item Total" column shall be the product of the unit price bid and the estimated quantity for the item.

C-2

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the total set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail, except as provided in (a) or (b), as follows:

(a) If the amount set forth as a unit price is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, or is the same as the amount as the entry in the item total column, then the amount set forth in the item total column for the item shall prevail and shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price;

(b) (Decimal Errors) If the product of the entered unit price and the estimated quantity is exactly off by a factor of ten, one hundred, etc., or one-tenth, or one-hundredth, etc. from the entered total, the discrepancy will be resolved by using the entered unit price or item total, whichever most closely approximates percentage-wise the unit price or item total in the CITY OF COMPTON’S Final Estimate of cost.

If both the unit price and the item total are unreadable or otherwise unclear, or are omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular. Likewise if the item total for a lump sum item is unreadable or otherwise unclear, or is omitted, the bid may be deemed irregular unless the project being bid has only a single item and a clear, readable total bid is provided.

Symbols such as commas and dollar signs will be ignored and have no mathematical significance in establishing any unit price or item total or lump sums. Written unit prices, item totals and lump sums will be interpreted according to the number of digits and, if applicable, decimal placement. Cents symbols also have no significance in establishing any unit price or item total since all figures are assumed to be expressed in dollars and/or decimal fractions of a dollar. Bids on lump sum items shall be item totals only; if any unit price for a lump sum item is included in a bid and it differs from the item total, the items total shall prevail.

The foregoing provisions for the resolution of specific irregularities cannot be so comprehensive as to cover every omission, inconsistency, error or other irregularity which may occur in a bid.
