Transmission of Bids by any other means will not be accepted. Bidders shall be solely responsible for informing themselves with respect to the proper utilization of the online bid management system, for ensuring the capability of their computer system to upload the required documents, and for the stability of their internet service. Failure of the Bidder to successfully submit an electronic Bid shall be the Bidder’s sole risk and no relief will be given for late and/or improperly submitted Bids.

CA\DD\02000.50111\10151761.2 2 (UPDATED: 01-19)

The Work is subject to the payment of not less than prevailing wages pursuant to Chapter 1 (beginning at Section 1720 et seq.) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the California Labor Code, as well as Title 8, Section 16000 et seq. of the California Code of Regulations (“Prevailing Wage Laws”).

The Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) has determined the general prevailing rate of per diem wages in the locality in which this work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the Contract which will be awarded to the successful bidder, copies of which are on file and will be made available to any interested party upon request at Owners office or online at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr. A copy of these rates shall be posted by the successful bidder at the Project site.

Pursuant to Labor Code sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, all contractors and subcontractors that wish to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, or enter into a contract to perform public work must be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations. No bid will be accepted nor any contract entered into without proof of the contractor’s and subcontractors’ current registration with the Department of Industrial Relations to perform public work. If awarded a Contract, the Bidder and its subcontractors, of any tier, shall maintain active registration with the Department of Industrial Relations for the duration of the Project. The DIR registration number for each contractor and subcontractor must be identified on the bid proposal - failure to identify this number could result in the bid being rejected as non-responsive. The City will report all necessary contracts to the DIR as required by the Prevailing Wage Laws.

The successful bidder and their subcontractor(s) shall comply with all applicable Prevailing Wage Laws, which include, but are not limited to the payment of not less than the required prevailing rates to all workers employed by them in the execution of the Contract, the employment of apprentices, the hours of labor, the payment of overtime, and the debarment of contractors and subcontractors. The successful bidder and all subcontractor(s) under him shall also be responsible for any and all violations and fines imposed on them pursuant to the Prevailing Wage Laws.

Before the Contract is awarded, the successful bidder shall be a licensed contractor pursuant to the Business and Professions Code and shall be licensed in the following appropriate classification(s) of contractor’s license(s), for the work bid upon, and must maintain the license(s) throughout the duration of the Contract: valid Class ‘A’ General Engineering Contractor.

The successful bidder must fully comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in furnishing or using equipment and/or providing services, including, but not limited to, emissions limits and permitting requirements imposed by the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) and/or California Air Resources Board (CARB). Although the SCAQMD and CARB limits and requirements are broader, the successful bidder shall specifically be aware of their application to "portable equipment", which definition is considered by SCAQMD and CARB to include any item of equipment with a fuel-powered engine. The successful bidder will be required to indemnify City against any fines or penalties imposed by SCAQMD, CARB, or any other governmental or regulatory agency for violations of applicable laws, rules and/or regulations by the successful bidder, its subcontractors, or others for whom the successful bidder is responsible under its indemnity obligations.

CARB implemented amendments to the In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets Regulations (“Regulation”) which are effective on January 1, 2024 and apply broadly to all self-propelled off road diesel vehicles 25 horsepower or greater and other forms of equipment used in California. A copy of the Regulation is available at:

https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/barcu/regact/2022/off-roaddiesel/appa-1.pdf. Bidders are required to comply with all CARB and Regulation requirements, including, without limitation, all applicable sections of the Regulation, as codified in Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations section 2449 et seq. throughout the duration of the Project. Bidders must provide, with their Bid, Docusign Envelope ID: 6EAAECAA-9B7A-80F9-83A1-AEB40E03187C http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/barcu/regact/2022/off-roaddiesel/appa-1.pdf.

CA\DD\02000.50111\10151761.2 3 (UPDATED: 01-19)

copies of Bidder’s and all listed subcontractors’ most recent, valid Certificate of Reported Compliance (“CRC”) issued by CARB. Failure to provide valid CRCs as required herein may render the Bid non-responsive.

Award of Contract: The City shall award the Contract for the Project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as determined on the basis of the summation of the Total Base Bid Schedule and the Total Alternate Bid Item combined. However, the City may choose to award the Contract on the basis of the base bid alone or the base bid and any selected alternate bid item or combination of selected alternate bid items. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding process.

Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 4104.5, if the City issues an Addendum which includes material changes to the Project less than 72 hours prior to the deadline for submission of bids, the City will extend the deadline for submission of bids. The City may determine, in its sole discretion, whether an Addendum warrants postponement of the bid submission date. Copies of Addenda will be posted to the City’s PlanetBids electronic bidding platform. Each prospective bidder that has registered to receive a set of the Contract Documents will be notified by email when Addenda have been posted for the Project to PlanetBids.

Bidders shall acknowledge receipt of all Addenda by indicating in the appropriate place in the Bid that they have received all Addenda.

6. ALTERNATE BIDS

If alternate bid items are called for in the Contract Documents, the lowest bid will be determined on the basis of the summation of the Total Base Bid Schedule and the Total Add Alternate Bid Items combined. However, the City may choose to award the contract on the basis of the base bid alone or the base bid and any selected alternate bid item or combination of selected alternate bid items. The time required for completion of the alternate bid item(s) has been factored into the Contract duration and no additional Contract time will be awarded for the alternate bid item(s).

The City may elect to include one or more of the alternate bid item(s), or to otherwise remove certain work from the Project scope of work, accordingly each Bidder must ensure that each bid item contains a proportionate share of profit, overhead and other costs or expenses which will be incurred by the Bidder.

Unauthorized additions, modifications, revisions, conditions, limitations, exclusions or provisions attached to a Bid may render it non-responsive and may cause its rejection. Bidders shall neither delete, modify, nor supplement the printed matter on the Bid Forms, nor make substitutions thereon. Oral, telephonic and electronic modifications will not be considered, unless the Notice Inviting Bids authorizes the submission of electronic bids and modifications thereto and such modifications are made in accordance with the Notice Inviting Bids.

If the unit price and the total amount stated by a Bidder for any item do not agree, the unit price alone shall be considered as representing Bidder’s intention, and the total price for that item shall be corrected by the City to conform thereto.

City will correct the extended unit price and math errors to determine the total amount of bid.

15. WITHDRAWAL OF BID

Electronic bids may be withdrawn prior to the hour and date set forth in the Notice Inviting Bids.

16. RELIEF FROM THE BID DUE TO A MISTAKE

Pursuant to Section 5105 of the Public Contract Code, a Bidder who claims a mistake shall be prohibited from participating in further bidding on the Contract on which the mistake was claimed.

17. BASIS OF AWARD; BALANCED BIDS

The City shall award the Contract to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder submitting a responsive Bid. The City may reject any Bid which, in its opinion when compared to other bids received or to the City’s internal estimates, does not accurately reflect the cost to perform the Work. The City may reject as non-responsive any bid which unevenly weighs or allocates costs, including but not limited to overhead and profit to one or more particular bid items.

18. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS; INTEREST IN MORE THAN ONE BID

No bidder shall be allowed to make, submit or be interested in more than one bid. However, a person, firm, corporation or other entity that has submitted a sub-proposal to a bidder, or that has quoted prices of materials to a bidder, is not thereby disqualified from submitting a sub-proposal or quoting prices to other bidders submitting a bid to the City. No person, firm, corporation, or other entity may submit a sub-proposal to a bidder, except for quoting prices of materials to a bidder, when also submitting a prime bid on the same Project.

19. INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

The successful bidder shall procure the insurance in the form and in the amount specified under Section 5-4 Insurance in Section G – General Provisions.

20. AWARD PROCESS

Once all Bids are opened and reviewed to determine the lowest responsive and responsible Bidder, the City Council may award the Contract. The apparent successful Bidder should begin to prepare the following documents: (1) the Performance Bond; (2) the Payment (Labor and Materials) Bond; and (3) the required insurance certificates and endorsements. Once the City notifies the Bidder of the award, the Bidder will have 10 consecutive calendar days from the date of this notification to execute the Contract and supply the City with all of the required documents and certifications. Regardless of whether or not the Bidder supplies the required documents and certifications in a timely manner, the Contract time may begin to run 10 calendar days from the date of the notification. Once the City receives all of the properly drafted and executed documents and certifications from the Bidder, the City shall issue a Notice to Proceed to that Bidder.

No Bid shall be considered as binding upon the City until the Contract is fully executed.

21. FILING OF BID PROTESTS

Bidders may file a “protest” of a Bid with the Deputy Director of Finance. In order for a Bidder’s protest to be considered valid, the protest must:

A. Be filed in writing within 5 calendar days after the bid opening date;

B. Clearly identify the specific irregularity or accusation;

C. Clearly identify the specific City staff determination or recommendation being protested;

CA\DD\02000.50111\10151761.2 9 (UPDATED: 01-19)

D. Specify, in detail, the grounds of the protest and the facts supporting the protest; and

E. Include all relevant, supporting documentation with the protest at time of filing.

If the protest does not comply with each of these requirements, it will be rejected as invalid.

If the protest is valid, the City’s Deputy Director of Finance, or other designated City staff member, shall review the basis of the protest and all relevant information. The Deputy Director of Finance will provide a written decision to the protestor. The protestor may then appeal the decision of the Deputy Director of Finance to the Finance Director.

22. WORKERS COMPENSATION

Each bidder shall submit the Contractor’s Certificate Regarding Workers’ Compensation form.

23. SUBSTITUTION OF SECURITY

The Contract Documents call for monthly progress payments based upon the percentage of the work completed.

City expenses for administration of the Escrow Agreement shall be billed quarterly to the Contractor pursuant to the City’s current Fee Recovery Schedule effective October 17, 2024:

Set up fees (one time only) $350.00 Monthly maintenance fee $95.00

24. PREVAILING WAGES

Refer to the Notice Inviting Bids and Article 8 of the Contract for Prevailing Wage requirements.

25. DEBARMENT OF CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS

In accordance with the provisions of the Labor Code, contractors or subcontractors may not perform work on a public works project with a subcontractor who is ineligible to perform work on a public project pursuant to Section 1777.1 or Section 1777.7 of the Labor Code. Any contract on a public works project entered into between a contractor and a debarred subcontractor is void as a matter of law. A debarred subcontractor may not receive any public money for performing work as a subcontractor on a public works contract. Any public money that is paid to a debarred subcontractor by the Contractor for the Project shall be returned to the City. The Contractor shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the Project.

26. PERFORMANCE BOND AND PAYMENT (LABOR AND MATERIALS) BOND

REQUIREMENTS

Within the time specified in the Contract Documents, the Bidder to whom a Contract is awarded shall deliver to the City the Performance Bond and Payment (Labor and Materials) Bond in the form supplied by the City and included in the Contract Documents. Failure to do so may, in the sole discretion of City, result in the forfeiture of the Bid Guarantee. The surety supplying the bond must be an admitted surety insurer, as defined in Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, authorized to do business as such in the State of California and satisfactory to the City. The Performance Bond and the Payment (Labor and Materials) Bond shall be for 100% of the Total Bid Price. The City does not require original, embossed corporate seals on any bonds. However, CA\DD\02000.50111\10151761.2 10 (UPDATED: 01-19) the City reserves the right at any time to demand an original bond with an embossed corporate seal, and Contractor shall supply such bond within seven (7) calendar days of any such request.

27. REQUEST FOR SUBSTITUTIONS

The successful bidder shall comply with the substitution request provisions set forth in the Special Conditions, including any deadlines for substitution requests which may occur prior to the bid opening date.

28. SALES AND OTHER APPLICABLE TAXES, PERMITS, LICENSES AND FEES

Contractor and its subcontractors performing work under this Contract will be required to pay California sales tax and other applicable taxes, and to pay for permits, licenses and fees required by the agencies with authority in the jurisdiction in which the work will be located, unless otherwise expressly provided by the Contract Documents.

29. EXECUTION OF CONTRACT

As required herein the Bidder to whom an award is made shall execute the Contract in the amount determined by the Contract Documents. The City may require appropriate evidence that the persons executing the Contract are duly empowered to do so.

30. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS/VIOLATIONS

Safety at the Project site during performance of the Work is of paramount concern to the City.

Accordingly, bidders must not have committed any serious violations within the last two (2) years or any willful violations within the last five (5) years of federal or state OSHA regulations. Bidders must identify the number of OSHA violations on the INFORMATION REQUIRED OF BIDDERS page. Any serious or willful violation falling within the timeframes noted above may render a bid as non-responsive. We strongly encourage full disclosure, since failure to identify all violations on the INFORMATION REQUIRED OF BIDDERS page may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive or the bidder as non-responsible following a hearing. A citation properly appealed through OSHA is not considered to be a violation until the matter is closed and considered final by OSHA. The City still expects this information to be disclosed by the bidder, with an explanation and documentation showing that the matter is properly under appeal with OSHA and not considered closed or final. Failure to be forthcoming with this information may result in rejection of the bid as non-responsive.

BASIS OF AWARD

The City shall award the Contract for the Project to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder as determined on the basis of the summation of the Total Base Bid Schedule and the Add Alternate Bid Items combined. However, the City may choose to award the contract on the basis of the base bid alone or the base bid and any selected alternate bid item or combination of selected alternate bid items. The City reserves the right to reject any or all bids or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any bids or in the bidding process. In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the item cost set forth for a unit basis item, the unit price shall prevail and shall be utilized as the basis for determining the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. However, if the amount set forth as a unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or is the same amount as the entry in the “Item Cost” column, then the amount set forth in the “Item Cost” 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. Final payment shall be determined by the Engineer from measured quantities of work performed based upon the unit price.

Notice to Proceed will be given initially for the Total Base Bid Schedule ONLY. No guarantee is made that a Notice to Proceed will be issued for any part of the project other than the Total Base Bid Schedule. The Owner reserves the right to proceed with each Bid Schedule separately without impact to the price paid to the Contractor for any other portion of the Contract.

The Contractor shall include all costs for mobilization of equipment to perform all of the work required by the Total Base Bid Schedule. No additional monies will be paid for mobilization or demobilization.
