The bid must conform to and be responsive to all Contract Documents and shall be made on the Bid Form provided. The complete bid, together with any additional materials required, shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope, addressed and hand-delivered or mailed to the Owner at the address set forth in the Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids, and must be received on or before the time set for the opening of bids. The envelope shall be plainly marked in the upper left-hand corner with the bidder's name, the Contract designation, and the date and time for the opening of bids. It is the bidder's sole responsibility to ensure that its bid is received prior to the bid deadline. In accordance with Government Code Section 53068, any bid received after the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids shall be returned to the bidder unopened.

At the time set for the opening of bids, the sealed bids will be opened and publicly read aloud at the place indicated in the Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids. However, if this Contract calls for prequalification of bidders pursuant to Public Contract Code Section

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 2 of 15

20111.6, only those sealed bids received from bidders who have been prequalified for at least five (5) days prior to bid opening shall be opened and publicly read aloud.

3. Bid Security.

Each bid shall be accompanied by a bid security in cash, a certified or cashier’s check, or bid bond in an amount not less than 10 percent of the total bid price payable to the Owner. The bid security shall be given as a guarantee that if awarded the contract the bidder will execute and return the Construction Agreement within 10 working days after award of the contract and will furnish on the prescribed forms a satisfactory Payment (labor and material) Bond and separate Performance Bond, in accordance with the Contract Documents and Civil Code Sections 9550 et seq., and certificates evidencing that the required insurance is in effect in the amounts set forth in the Contract Documents. In case of refusal or failure to timely execute the Construction Agreement and furnish the required bonds and insurance certificates, the bid security shall be forfeited to the Owner. If the bidder elects to furnish a bid bond as its bid security, the bidder shall use the bid bond form included in the Contract Documents, unless the Owner elects to waive the use of the form provided, in its sole discretion.

4. Signature.

At the various times the Contract Documents are required to be submitted (such as the Bid Form, all bonds, the Designation of Subcontractors form, all Information Required of Bidder or prequalification forms, Workers Compensation Certificate, Drug-Free Workplace Certification, Non-Collusion Affidavit, the Construction Agreement, and all Guarantees), they must be signed in the name of the bidder and must bear the signature of the person or persons duly authorized to sign these documents. Where indicated, if bidder is a corporation, the legal name of the corporation shall first be set forth, together with two signatures: one from among the chairman of the board, president, or vice president, and one from among the secretary, chief financial officer, or assistant treasurer. Alternatively, the signature of other authorized officers or agents may be affixed, if duly authorized by the corporation. Such documents shall include the title of such signatories below the signature and shall bear the corporate seal. Where indicated, if bidder is a joint venture or partnership, the bidder shall submit with the bid certifications signed by authorized officers of each of the parties to the joint venture or partnership, naming the individual (1) who shall be the agent of the joint venture or partnership, (2) who shall sign all necessary documents for the joint venture or partnership and, (3) should the joint venture or partnership be the successful bidder, who shall act in all matters relative to the resulting contract for the joint venture or partnership. If bidder is an individual, his/her signature shall be placed on such documents.

5. Modifications.

Changes in or additions to any of the bid documents, the summary of the work bid upon, or the alternative proposals, or any other modifications which are not specifically called for by the Owner, may result in the Owner’s rejection of the bid as not being responsive.

No oral or telephonic modification of any bid will be considered. However, prior to the

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 3 of 15 opening of bids, a telegraphic modification signed by the bidder and postmarked and received prior to the opening of bids, or a facsimile modification duly signed by the bidder received prior to the opening of bids, may be considered if included within a sealed bid.

6. Erasures, Inconsistent, or Illegible Bids.

The bid submitted must not contain any erasures, interlineations, or other corrections unless each correction creates no inconsistency and is suitably authenticated and noted by signature of the bidder. In the event of inconsistency between words and figures in the bid, words shall control figures. In the event the Owner determines that any bid is unintelligible, illegible, or ambiguous, the Owner may reject the bid as not being responsive.

7. Examination of Site and Contract Documents.

At its own expense and prior to submitting bids, each bidder shall examine all documents relating to the Contract, visit the site, and determine the local conditions which may in any way affect the performance of the work, including the general prevailing rate of per diem wages and other relevant cost factors. Each bidder shall be familiar with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and codes affecting the performance of the work, including the cost of permits and licenses required for the work. Each bidder shall make such surveys and investigations, including investigation of subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site or where work is to be performed, as it may deem necessary for performance of the work at the price being bid. Each bidder shall determine the character, quality, and quantities of the work to be performed and the materials and equipment to be provided, and shall correlate its observations, investigations, and determinations with all requirements of the Contract.

The Contract Documents show and describe the existing conditions as they are believed to have been used in the design of the work and are only provided as information for the bidder. The Owner is not making any warranties regarding this information. The Owner shall not be liable for any loss sustained by the successful bidder resulting from any variance between the conditions and design data given in the Contract Documents and the actual conditions revealed during the bidder's pre-bid examination or during the progress of the work. Bidder agrees that the submission of a bid shall be incontrovertible evidence that the bidder has complied with and agrees to further comply with all the requirements of this section.

8. Withdrawal of Bids.

Any bid may be withdrawn, either personally, by written request, or by telegraphic or facsimile request confirmed in the manner specified above for bid modifications, at any time prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. In accordance with this paragraph, the bid security shall be returned for bids withdrawn prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. No bidder may withdraw any bid for a period of 60 days after the award of the contract except as allowed by Public Contract Code section 5101 et seq. A bidder’s unawarded alternate bids remain open for a period of six months after

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 4 of 15 award of contract as irrevocable offers to enter into either change orders or separate contracts for the stated price adjustment.

9. Agreement and Bonds.

The Construction Agreement and the form of the Payment and Performance Bonds which the successful bidder as Contractor will be required to execute are included in the Contract Documents and should be carefully examined by the bidder. The Payment Bond shall be in an amount not less than 100 percent of the amount of the contract in accordance with Civil Code Section 9550. The successful bidder as Contractor will also be required to furnish a separate Performance Bond in the amount of 100 percent of the contract amount. Sufficient bonds shall be fully executed and returned to Owner with the executed Construction Agreement, and no later than the start of the Work.

10. Interpretation of Contract Documents.

If any bidder is in doubt as to the true meaning of any part of the Contract Documents, or finds discrepancies in or omissions from the drawings and specifications, a written request for an interpretation or correction shall be submitted to the Owner on the provided form for such questions. The bidder submitting the written request shall be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any interpretation or correction of the Contract Documents will be made only by addendum issued by the Owner, and a copy of any addendum will be hand-delivered, mailed, or faxed to each bidder known to have received a set of the Contract Documents. No person is authorized to make any oral interpretation of any provision in the Contract Documents, nor shall any oral interpretation be binding on the Owner. If there are discrepancies on drawings, plans, or specifications, or conflicts between drawings, plans, specifications, terms, or conditions, the interpretation of the Owner shall prevail. Bidder shall become familiar with the plans, specifications, and drawings.

SUBMISSION OF A BID WITHOUT REQUESTING CLARIFICATIONS SHALL BE

INCONTROVERTIBLE EVIDENCE THAT THE BIDDER HAS DETERMINED THAT THE

PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND DRAWINGS ARE SUFFICIENT FOR BIDDING AND

COMPLETING THE WORK, THAT BIDDER IS CAPABLE OF READING, FOLLOWING

AND COMPLETING THE WORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PLANS,

SPECIFICATIONS, AND DRAWINGS, AND THAT THE PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS,

AND DRAWINGS FALL WITHIN AN ACCEPTABLE STANDARD FOR THESE ITEMS,

AND THAT BIDDER AGREES THAT THE CONTRACT CAN AND WILL BE

COMPLETED ACCORDING TO THE OWNER'S TIME LINES AND ACCORDING TO

THE PROGRESS SCHEDULE TO BE SUBMITTED BY THE SUCCESSFUL BIDDER

INCORPORATING THE OWNER'S TIME LINES FOR COMPLETION OF THE

CONTRACT.

11. Bidders Interested in More Than One Bid.

No person, firm, or corporation shall be allowed to make or file or be interested in more than one bid for the same work. A person, firm, or corporation that has submitted a sub-

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 5 of 15 proposal to a bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a bidder, is not disqualified from submitting a proposal or quoting prices to other bidders or submitting a bid on the Contract.

12. Award of Contract.

(a) The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids, or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding process, as allowed by law. If two identical low bids are received from responsive and responsible bidders, the Owner will have the discretion to pick whichever bid it wishes, pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22038.

(b) If made by the Owner, award of the contract will be by action of the governing board or other governing body to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. In the event an award of the contract is made to a bidder and that bidder fails or refuses to execute the Agreement and provide the required documents within ten days, the Owner may (i) award the contract to the next lowest responsive and responsible bidder or release all bidders, and (ii) pursue the bid bond, or the securities, of the bidder that received the initial award. An election by the Owner to reject all bids does not release the bid security of any bidder who has previously been awarded the contract and failed or refused to execute the Agreement and provide the required documents.

(c) In ascertaining the low bidder, the bids will be examined without reference to any substitutions requested by any bidder, whether or not the substitution request would result in a modification of the contract price.

13. Alternatives.

If alternate bids are called for, the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on the basis indicated in the Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids.

Owner reserves the right to award or reject any, all, or any combination of the alternates called for in the bid documents, whether or not the alternate(s) was included in the calculations used to identify the low bidder. All bid alternates not part of the contract initially awarded by Owner shall remain open and valid for a period of six months after the contract is awarded as irrevocable offers to enter into either change orders or separate contracts on the items for the price adjustment contained in the bid alternate.

14. Prequalification of Bidders. See 02-Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids.

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 6 of 15

15. Competency of Bidders.

In selecting the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing but also to the general competency of the bidder for performance of the work. By submitting a bid, each bidder agrees that in determining the successful bidder and its eligibility for the award, the Owner may consider the bidder's experience, facilities, conduct, and performance under other contracts, financial condition, reputation in the industry, and other factors relating to or which could affect the bidder's performance of the Contract. To this end, where bidders are not required to prequalify, each bid shall be supported by a statement of the bidder's experience on the form entitled "Contractor’s Qualifications Questionnaire” included in the bid package provided by the Owner.

The Owner may also consider the qualifications and experience of subcontractors and other persons and organizations (including those who are to furnish the principal items of material and equipment) proposed for those portions of the work. Operating costs, maintenance considerations, performance data, and guarantees of materials and equipment may also be considered by the Owner. In this regard, the Owner may conduct such investigations as the Owner deems necessary to assist in the evaluation of any bid and to establish the responsibility, qualifications, and financial ability of the bidder, proposed subcontractors, and other persons and organizations to do the work to the Owner’s satisfaction within the prescribed time. The Owner may request that bidder submit information to assess the responsibility of the bidder’s proposed subcontractors.

The Owner reserves the right to reject the bid of any bidder who does not pass any such evaluation to the satisfaction of the Owner, or in the Owner’s sole discretion, to permit substitution of subcontractor(s) found non-responsible.

A prequalified bidder may nonetheless be declared non-responsive or non-responsible prior to award of the contract.

16. Listing Subcontractors.

Each bidder shall submit with its bid a list of the proposed subcontractors on the Contract as required by the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (Public Contract Code Section 4100 and following sections) on the form furnished with the Contract Documents. If alternate bids are called for and the bidder intends to use different or additional subcontractors, a separate list of subcontractors must be submitted for each such alternate bid. The Owner may request that bidder submit information to assess the responsibility of the bidder’s proposed subcontractors. In addition to the information provided with the bid pursuant to the above statutes, the apparent low bidder shall, within 24 hours of the bid opening, provide for all subcontractors their telephone numbers and contractor’s license classification.

17. Workers' Compensation.

In accordance with the provisions of Labor Code Section 3700, the successful bidder shall secure the payment of compensation to all employees. The successful bidder

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 7 of 15 awarded the contract shall sign and file with the Owner, at the time of returning the executed Construction Agreement, and no later than the start of the Work, the certificate which is included as a part of the Contract Documents.

18. Contractor's License.

At the bid opening date and time, if a bidder is not properly licensed to perform the Contract in accordance with Division 3, Chapter 9, of the California Business and Professions Code and the Notice Calling for Bids as required, that bidder’s bid will be rejected as non-responsive. Business and Professions Code Section 7028.15 precludes payment for work or materials unless the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the Owner that the bidder was properly licensed at the time the bid was submitted. If this Contract is federally funded, the bidder must be properly licensed prior to the award of the contract.

Any bidder not properly licensed is subject to penalties under the law and the contract will be considered void. If the license classification specified in these Contract Documents is that of a “specialty contractor” as defined in Business and Professions Code Section 7058, the specialty contractor awarded the contract for this work shall construct a majority of the work in accordance with the provisions of Business and Professions Code Section 7059.

19. Anti-Discrimination.

It is the policy of the Owner that in all work performed under contracts there be no unlawful discrimination against any prospective or active employee engaged in the work because of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religious creed, sex, age, marital status, physical disability, mental disability, or medical condition. The successful bidder agrees to comply with applicable federal and state laws, including but not limited to the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, beginning with Government Code Section 12900 and Labor Code Section 1735. In addition, the successful bidder agrees to require like compliance by any subcontractors employed on the work by that bidder.

20. Hold Harmless.

The successful bidder awarded the contract shall hold harmless and indemnify various parties as more clearly set forth elsewhere in the Contract Documents.

21. Substitutions.

(a) All bids should be calculated and submitted on the Contract as described in the bid documents, and on the assumption that substitution requests submitted with, or after, the bid will not be approved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, substitution requests submitted with, or after, bids will be given due consideration and, if approved, adjustments to the contract (including any adjustment to contract price or time) must be finalized in a Board-approved change order. Bidders not desiring to bid without prior approval of a proposed substitution should follow the procedure contained in this section for pre-bid review of proposed substitutions.

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 8 of 15

(b) Should the bidder wish to request prior to bid opening any substitution for the specified materials, process, service, or equipment, the bidder shall submit a written request on the OWNER’s Substitution Listing form and Substitution Warranty form contained in the bid documents at least ten (10) working days before the bid opening date and time. If the requested substitution is acceptable, the Owner will approve it in an addendum issued to all bidders of record.

Requests received less than ten (10) working days prior to bid opening will not be considered prior to the bid date. Extensions of the bid date shall not operate to extend the deadline for requesting substitutions unless the Owner so states in an addendum issued to all bidders of record.

(c) Other than substitutions granted via addendum prior to the bid date (see previous paragraph), the bidder shall submit with, or after, the bid all proposed substitutions, if any, on the OWNER’s Substitution Listing form and Substitution Warranty form contained in the bid documents.

(d) [Not used]

(e) Unless expressly authorized in the bid documents, no bid may be conditioned on the Owner’s acceptance of a proposed substitution. Any bid containing any such condition may be treated as a non-responsive bid.

(f) It is expressly understood and agreed that the Owner reserves the right to reject any proposed substitution before, with, or after the bid. It is further expressly understood and agreed that in the event the Owner rejects a proposed "equal" item, or any other proposed substitution, the specified material, process, service, or equipment designated by brand name or trade name, or other item as specified, will be provided.

(g) No substitution request of any kind or nature may be made after the bid date, except by the express written permission of the Owner and on such terms as Owner may require, or in an emergency, as in the case where a specified material, process, service, equipment, or other item has become unavailable through no fault of the bidder.

(h) These time limitations shall be complied with strictly, and in no case will an extension of time for completion be granted because of the failure to request the substitution of an item at the times and in the manner set forth herein.

(i) Prior to contract award, the Owner shall notify the bidder of the Owner’s decision concerning proposed substitutions of “equal” items submitted with the bid.

The Owner shall notify bidder of the Owner’s decision on any other proposed substitutions as those decisions are made before or after contract award.

Notification of all decisions by the Owner shall be in writing, and no proposed substitution shall be deemed approved unless the Owner has confirmed it in writing.

Bid Nos. 6946 Page 9 of 15

(j) With respect to all proposed substitutions, the requirements applicable to the Contractor in the Contract Documents shall be applicable to all bidders requesting substitutions.

22. Surety Qualifications.

Bid bonds executed by a surety insurer admitted in the State of California for purposes of issuance of such bonds will be accepted by Owner as sufficient.

Payment and/or performance bonds executed by a surety company admitted in the State of California with a minimum “A minus, VIII” rating (“A minus, V” when the price stated in the Contract Documents is less than $500,000) as rated by the current edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide published by A.M. Best Company, Oldwick, New Jersey 08858, shall be presumed by Owner to be sufficient for the issuance of such bonds. In the alternative, any admitted surety company which satisfies the requirements set forth in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.660 shall be accepted and approved for the issuance of bonds, and documents demonstrating satisfaction of the requirements of Section 995.660 with respect to the bid bond must be submitted with the bid. No personal sureties will be accepted.

23. Liquidated Damages.

Contractor must complete all Work within the contract time set forth below and in other Contract Documents. Bidders must understand that the goodwill, educational process, and other business of the Owner will be…
