Bidder chooses to provide a Bid Bond as security, Bidder must use the required form of corporate surety provided by District. The Surety on Bidder’s Bid Bond must be an insurer admitted in the State of California and authorized to issue surety bonds in the State of California.

13. If Bidder to whom the Contract is awarded fails or neglects to enter into the Contract and submit required bonds, insurance certificates, and all other required documents, within SEVEN (7) calendar days after the date of the Notice of Award, District may deposit Bid Bond, cash, cashier's check, or certified check for collection, and proceeds thereof may be retained by District as liquidated damages for failure of

Bidder to enter into Contract, in the sole discretion of District. It is agreed that calculation of damages District may suffer as a result of Bidder's failure to enter into the Contract would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine and that the amount of the Bidder’s required bid security shall be the agreed and conclusively presumed amount of damages.

14. Bidders must submit with the bid the Designated Subcontractors List for those subcontractors who will perform any portion of Work, including labor, rendering of service, or specially fabricating and installing a portion of the Work or improvement according to detailed drawings contained in the plans and specifications, in excess of one half of one percent (0.5%) of total bid. Failure to submit this list when required by law shall result in bid being deemed nonresponsive and the bid will not be considered.

15. All of the listed subcontractors are required to be registered as a public works contractor with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to the Labor Code.

a. An inadvertent error in listing the California contractor license number on the

Designated Subcontractors List shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive if the correct contractor’s license number is submitted to the District within 24 hours after the bid opening and the corrected number corresponds with the submitted name and location for that subcontractor.

b. An inadvertent error listing an unregistered subcontractor shall not be grounds for filing a bid protest or grounds for considering the bid nonresponsive provided that any of the following apply:

(1) The subcontractor is registered prior to the bid opening.

(2) The subcontractor is registered and has paid the penalty registration fee within 24 hours after the bid opening.

(3) The subcontractor is replaced by another registered subcontractor pursuant to Public Contract Code section 4107.

16. If a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit (“Site Visit”) is required as referenced in the Notice to Bidders, then Bidders must submit the Site Visit

Certification with their Bid. District will transmit to all prospective Bidders of record such Addenda as District in its discretion considers necessary in response to questions arising at the Site Visit.

Site Visit, if any, shall constitute the sole and exclusive record and statement of the results of the Site Visit.

17. Bidders shall submit the Non-Collusion Declaration with their bids. Bids submitted without the Non-Collusion Declaration shall be deemed nonresponsive and will not be considered.

18. Bidders are required to submit the Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleet Certification along with their Bids, but only in cases where the Project involves the use of off-road diesel-fueled vehicles and equipment subject to regulation. Bids submitted without the Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleet Certification, when this certification is applicable to the Project, shall be deemed non-responsive and will not be considered.

This requirement applies solely to projects for which Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleet

Certification is relevant due to the nature of the work and the equipment used.

19. The Contractor and all Subcontractors under the Contractor shall pay all workers on all work performed pursuant to the Contract not less than the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and the general prevailing rate for holiday and overtime work as determined by the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, State of

California, for the type of work performed and the locality in which the work is to be performed within the boundaries of the District, pursuant to sections 1770 et seq. of the California Labor Code. Copies of the general prevailing rates of per diem wages for each craft, classification, or type of worker needed to execute the Contract, as determined by Director of the Department of Industrial Relations, are available upon request at the District’s principal office. Prevailing wage rates are also available on the internet at http://www.dir.ca.gov.

This Project may be funded, in whole or in part, with federal funds. In instances where federal funding is utilized, the Contractor and all Subcontractors under the

Contractor are required to comply with the Davis-Bacon Act, applicable reporting requirements, and any other relevant federal funding requirements. Should a conflict arise between state and federal requirements, the more stringent provision shall control to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations.

20. If applicable, pursuant to Education Code section 17550, the District may require the

Bidder to purchase and to remove from the school grounds all old materials required by the specifications to be removed from any existing school building on the same school grounds and not required for school purposes and to state in his or her bid the amount which he or she will deduct from the price bid for the work as the purchase price of the old materials. In this instance, the board shall let the contract to any responsible bidder whose net bid is the lowest, or shall reject all bids.

21. If the District has elected to provide an owner-controlled insurance policy (“OCIP”), the policy limits, known exclusions, and the duration for which the policy is intended to remain effective are detailed in the OCIP Manual. In such cases, it is mandatory for all bidders to comply with the following minimum requirements: no serious and willful violations of Labor Code section 6300 et seq., a workers’ compensation experience modification factor of 1.00 or less, and an instituted injury prevention program pursuant to Labor Code section 3201.5 or 6401.7.

22. If applicable or required by the District for projects utilizing funds from the State of

California School Facility Program, as outlined in Section 17076.11 of the Education

Code, there is a mandate to achieve a participation goal for disabled veteran business enterprises (“DVBE”) of at least three percent (3%) annually of the overall dollar amount expended on state-funded projects. To fulfill this mandate by demonstrating a good faith effort, Bidders must actively seek DVBE-certified subcontractors and suppliers prior to bid submission. For any state-funded project, the selected Bidder must, upon contract award, certify compliance with DVBE participation goal procedures. The DVBE Certification Participation Form, provided for this purpose, should not be submitted with the Bid but is required with the execution of the Contract.

23. Submission of bid signifies careful examination of Contract Documents and complete understanding of the nature, extent, and location of Work to be performed. Bidders must complete the tasks listed below as a condition to bidding, and submission of a bid shall constitute the Bidder's express representation to District that Bidder has fully completed the following:

Specifications, has been obtained with reasonable care, and has been recorded in good faith. However, District only warrants, and Bidder may only rely, on the accuracy of limited types of information.

(1) As to above-ground conditions or as-built conditions shown or indicated in the Contract Documents, there is no warranty, express or implied, or any representation express or implied, that such information is correctly shown or indicated. This information is verifiable by independent investigation and Bidder is required to make such verification as a condition to bidding. In submitting its Bid, Bidder shall rely on the results of its own independent investigation.

In submitting its Bid, Bidder shall not rely on District-supplied information regarding above-ground conditions or as-built conditions.

(2) As to any subsurface condition shown or indicated in the Contract

Documents, Bidder may rely only upon the general accuracy of actual reported depths, actual reported character of materials, actual reported soil types, actual reported water conditions, or actual obstructions shown or indicated. District is not responsible for the completeness of such information for bidding or construction; nor is

District responsible in any way for any conclusions or opinions that the

Bidder has drawn from such information; nor is the District responsible for subsurface conditions that are not specifically shown (for example, District is not responsible for soil conditions in areas contiguous to areas where a subsurface condition is shown).

h. Conditions Shown in Reports and Drawings Supplied for Informational

Purposes: Reference is made to the document entitled Geotechnical Data, and the document entitled Existing Conditions, for identification of:

(1) Subsurface Conditions: Those reports of explorations and tests of subsurface conditions at or contiguous to the Site that have been utilized by Architect in preparing the Contract Documents; and
