ATTACHMENT A

MINIMUM CONTRACTOR QUALIFICATIONS

CUPCCAA Informal Bid | Contract No. 41015 | September 2026 The following minimum qualifications are required for the Bid to be considered responsive and for the Bidder to be determined responsible. The Bidder shall submit a Contractor Qualification Statement, Self-Performance Certification, and all supporting information required by this Attachment with its Bid.

The County may reject a Bid as nonresponsive if the Bidder fails to submit material qualification information required by this Attachment. The County may determine a Bidder to be non-responsible if the information submitted does not demonstrate compliance with the minimum qualifications.

The County may request clarification or verification of information timely submitted with the Bid. Clarification may explain or verify submitted information but shall not be used to:

• Cure the failure to submit a material qualification;

• Add a construction subcontractor;

• Substitute another entity’s experience for the Bidder’s required experience;

• Replace proposed key personnel in a manner that materially changes the Bidder’s qualifications; or

• Materially revise the Bid after bid opening.

1. LICENSE AND REGISTRATION

The Bidder shall hold, at the time required by California law and throughout performance of the Work, an active and valid California contractor license in the following classification:

• C-61/D-34 – Prefabricated Equipment Contractor.

A Class B — General Building Contractor license, without the required C-61/D-34 classification, does not satisfy this requirement.

The required license shall be legally sufficient for all Work assigned to the Contractor under the Contract Documents. Identification of the C-61/D-34 classification in the Notice Inviting Informal Bids, OpenGov posting, Bid Documents, Contract Documents, or this Attachment does not authorize the Contractor to perform work outside the scope permitted by California law.

The Contractor-assigned Work includes receiving, inspecting, inventorying, staging, protecting, assembling, rigging, lifting, positioning, connecting, aligning, adjusting, and installing County-furnished prefabricated suspended artwork components and associated artwork-installation hardware.

Unless expressly added by written Addendum before bid opening or by written Change Order after award, and legally authorized under the Contractor’s license, the Contractor’s Work does not include:

• Fabrication of the permanent artwork;

• Installation, modification, or repair of the permanent suspension cables;

• Installation, modification, or repair of the primary structural attachment infrastructure;

• Permanent structural steel fabrication or erection;

• Permanent structural welding;

• Structural reinforcement or permanent building modification;

• Electrical work;

• Glazing or curtain-wall modification other than the expressly detailed six bird attachments and approved Flight Path A, Sections 2 and 4 connection locations; or

• Permanent-design engineering for the artwork, permanent suspension system, or structural support system.

The Bidder shall provide:

• Contractor legal name;

• Contractor license number;

• C-61/D-34 classification;

• License expiration date;

• Department of Industrial Relations public works contractor registration number; and

• Certification that the required license and registration will be maintained throughout performance of the Work.

The County reserves the right to verify the Bidder’s license and registration status with the Contractors State License Board and Department of Industrial Relations.

2. SELF-PERFORMANCE

The Contractor shall self-perform one hundred percent (100%) of all field construction and artwork-installation Work using its own employees.

Construction subcontractors and lower-tier construction subcontractors are not permitted. The Bidder shall identify “None” on the County’s designation-of-subcontractors form and any other subcontractor-listing form included with the Bid.

For purposes of this requirement, the Contractor’s own employees are workers who are directly employed and paid by the Contractor and are under the Contractor’s direct supervision and control.

The following entities are not considered construction subcontractors, provided they do not perform field construction or artwork-installation labor:

Material and equipment suppliers;

Common carriers and delivery companies;

Equipment-rental companies;

Manufacturer representatives providing technical information, product support, or training;

Licensed professional engineers providing calculations or professional services for temporary works or Contractor means and methods; and Independent testing or inspection agencies.

The Contractor remains fully responsible for all products, equipment, services, calculations, information, and assistance furnished by such entities.

Except when Attachment D expressly states that the County will provide an operator, personnel operating lift, access, or installation equipment and personnel performing rigging or artwork-installation Work shall be employees of the Contractor.

The Bidder shall submit a signed Self-Performance Certification confirming that:

• All field construction and artwork-installation Work will be performed by the Bidder’s own employees;

• No construction subcontractors or lower-tier construction subcontractors will be used;

• The Bidder has sufficient direct workforce and supervision to complete the Work within the required Contract Time;

• The Bidder will not subcontract any field construction or artwork-installation Work after award; and

• The Bidder will comply with the self-performance requirements throughout performance of the Contract.

The self-performance requirement is a material requirement of the Contract. Unauthorized subcontracting may constitute grounds for rejection of the Bid, withholding of payment, removal of unauthorized personnel, termination, or other remedies available under the Contract Documents and applicable law.

3. COMPARABLE PROJECT EXPERIENCE

The Contractor shall have successfully completed at least three (3) comparable projects within the last five (5) years involving suspended public art, museum/exhibit installation, architectural feature installation, rigging-intensive installation, or comparable specialty installation work.

At least one (1) comparable project shall have included suspended or overhead installation above or adjacent to finished public, occupied, or sensitive facility areas.

At least one (1) comparable project shall have been performed in an airport, transportation facility, museum, civic/public facility, active commercial facility, or similarly sensitive finished environment.

The Bidder shall have directly performed the work used to satisfy this requirement. Experience belonging solely to a subcontractor, supplier, consultant, affiliate, parent company, sister company, or other separate legal entity shall not satisfy the Bidder’s comparable-project experience requirement.

For each comparable project, the Bidder shall provide:

• Project name and location;

• Owner or client;

• Description of the completed work;

• Bidder’s directly performed scope;

• Contract value;

• Completion date;

• Owner or client contact name, telephone number, and email address; and

• Planning and performing rigging and lifting operations;

• Positioning and connecting suspended components;

• Rigging and suspended-load control;

• Elevated work;

• Operation of the proposed lift or access equipment;

• Signal-person and spotter responsibilities;

• Fall protection;

• Equipment inspection; and

• The proposed artwork-installation and access methods.

When County-furnished lift or access equipment will be used, the Bidder shall demonstrate that its proposed employees are qualified to inspect, operate, and safely use the equipment unless Attachment D expressly states that the County will provide an operator.

When the final County-furnished equipment has not been identified at the time of Bid, equipment-specific operator documentation may be submitted with the Rigging, Lift, Equipment, and Qualification Package required by Item 4 of Attachment B. The Bidder shall nevertheless demonstrate with its Bid that it has the direct workforce and organizational capacity to provide appropriately qualified personnel.

The Bidder shall not rely on the qualifications of a proposed equipment-rental-company operator, construction subcontractor, or other separate legal entity to satisfy a qualification assigned to the Bidder’s field employees.

Applicable experience may include protection of:
