Appendix A Agency Bids Related to Public Works

CONTRACT PROCUREMENT

This solicitation is issued as an Agency procurement. The structure of this Request for Proposals does not remove or relinquish Public Works procurement procedures required by 29 Del. C. 69, Subchapter IV as applied specifically to individually defined projects. Distinction from a Public Works contract is made in this Request for Proposals in that the resulting award is intended for services of recurring need with undetermined quantities contrast to Public Works contract awarded for individual projects. Accordingly, to avoid conflicting with Public Works procurement requirements, the individual requests for services should not exceed the current open procurement threshold for Public Works, which can be seen at: Public Works Bid Thresholds

ENGINEERED PLANS

If the project does not require architectural and engineering services per 29 Del. C. § 6962(d)(b), the agency head may waive in writing the use of such services. Should there be a need for a specific agency project for an engineered plan, the agency is responsible for acquiring the services needed.

MANDATORY PRE-BID MEETING NOT REQUIRED

The Public Works pre-bid meeting requirement per 29 Del. C. § 6962(d)(10) does not apply to this solicitation. Mandatory pre-bid meetings intended to discuss specific projects and determine subcontractors needed are not required as this solicitation does not seek a solution for a single project.

REGISTERED OR PREQUALIFIED BIDDERS

Bidders are not required to be registered or prequalified for this Request for Proposals. All bidding documents are made publicly available on http://bids.delaware.gov/. While subcontractors are not required to be prequalified for this solicitation, subcontractors, if used, should be identified individually on the subcontractor form included with this solicitation without a prequalification requirement.

BID BOND NOT REQUIRED

The bid bond requirement in Public Works Procurement 29 Del. C. § 6962(d)(8) is not applicable for this solicitation. This solicitation seeking undetermined quantities does not meet the surety requirement of 10% of a known project. No Bid Bond is required for this Request for Proposals.

PREVAILING WAGE

The prevailing wage law, 29 Del. C. § 6960(a), is enforced by the Department of Labor and states that the specifications for every contract or aggregate of contracts relating to a Public Works project in excess of $500,000 for new construction (including painting and decorating) or $45,000 for alteration, repair, renovation, rehabilitation, demolition or reconstruction (including painting and decorating of building or works) to which this State or any subdivision thereof is a party and for which the State appropriated any part of the funds and which requires or involves the employment of mechanics and/or laborers shall contain a provision stating the minimum wages to be paid various classes of laborers and mechanics which shall be based upon the wages that will be determined by the Delaware Department of Labor, Division of Industrial Affairs, to be prevailing in the county in which the work is to be performed.

The Department of Labor has determined that this contract and any work that stems from this contract regardless of location is subject to prevailing wage. The Department of Labor Prevailing Wage sheet for work performed under this central contract is attached. The Vendor is required to conform with this determination and rate sheet.

According to 29 Del C. 6960(c), every contract based upon these specifications shall contain a stipulation that sworn payroll information, as required by the Department of Labor, be furnished weekly. The Department of Labor shall keep and maintain the sworn payroll information for a period of 6 months from the last day of the work week covered by the payroll.
