2. Combined Bid Packages

This paragraph applies when there is more than one bid package for a project. Bidders shall have the option to bid combined bid packages. The bidder MUST still bid each package separately, in addition to the combined bid. The District will compare the combined bid with the individual bids. If the combined bid is lower than the sum of the apparent low individual bids the District shall elect to award to the combined bidder. If the sum total of the individual bids is lower than the combined bid, the individual packages will be awarded. If the bidder is submitting a combined bid for multiple packages, the bidder must write the words “MULTIPLE BID

PACKAGES” and the number of each package on the outside of the sealed envelope.

3. Bid Security

Each bid shall be accompanied by one of the following:

District; or (d) an original executed hard copy bid bond payable to the District executed by the bidder as principal and an admitted surety approved to conduct business in the State of California as surety, in an amount not less than 10% of the maximum amount of the bid. A, B, C, or D must be received by the District’s

Purchasing and Contracts Department before the latest date/time for submitting bid proposals. Personal sureties and unregistered surety companies are unacceptable.

The California admitted surety insurer, as defined in

California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120, shall be a satisfactory corporate surety. The cash, check or bid bond shall be given as a guarantee that the bidder shall execute the Contract if it be awarded to the bidder in conformity with the Contract Documents and shall provide the surety bond or bonds as specified therein within ten (10) consecutive calendar days after notification of the Notice of Award of the Contract to the bidder.

In the event the bidder to whom the Notice of Award of

Contract is given fails or refuses to post the required bonds, as provided in Section 10 below, and return executed copies of the Contract within ten (10) consecutive calendar days from the date of the Notice of

Award of Contract, the District may declare the bidder’s bid deposit or bond forfeited as damages caused by the failure of the bidder to post the required bonds and execute such copies of the Contract, and may award the

Contract to the next lowest responsible bidder, or may call for new bids.

4. Faxed and Electronic Mail Bids

All bids must be under sealed cover. The District will not accept any bids or bid modifications submitted by facsimile or electronic mail transmission.

5. Signature

The bid must be signed in the name of the bidder and must bear the signature in longhand of the person or persons duly authorized to sign the bid on behalf of the bidder. All signatures are to be in ink. In the event that the bidder is a joint venture or partnership, there shall be submitted with the bid certifications signed by authorized officers of each of the parties to the joint venture or partnership, naming the individual who shall be the agent of the joint venture or partnership, who shall sign all necessary documents for the joint venture or partnership and who, should the joint venture or partnership be the successful bidder, shall act in all matters relative to the Contract resulting therefore for the joint venture or partnership.

6. Modifications

Changes in or additions to the bid form, recapitulations of the work bid upon, alternative proposals, or any other modification of the bid form which is not specifically called for in the Contract Documents may result in the

District’s rejection of the bid as not being responsive to the invitation to bid. No oral or telephonic modification of any bid submitted will be considered and a telegraphic modification may be considered only if the postmark evidences that a confirmation of the telegram duly signed by the bidder was placed in the mail prior to the opening of bids. Bids may be rejected if they show any alteration in form, are incomplete, or contain irregularities of any kind.

7. Erasures/Mutilation of Bid Documents

The bid submitted must not contain any erasures, interlineations, or other corrections unless each such correction is suitably authenticated by affixing in the margin immediately opposite the correction the surname or surnames of the person or persons signing the bid.

Bidders should not deface or mutilate the bid documents to the extent that they may not be usable for construction purposes.

8. Examination of Site and Contract Documents

At its own expense and prior to submitting its bid, each bidder shall visit the site of the proposed work and fully acquaint himself with the conditions relating to the construction and labor so that the bidder may fully understand the facilities, which include but are not limited to difficulties, and restrictions attending the execution of the work under the Contract. Bidders shall thoroughly examine and be familiar with the drawings and specifications. Each bidder shall also determine the local conditions which may, in any way affect the performance of the work, including the prevailing wages and other relevant cost factors; familiarize itself 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; make such surveys and investigations, including investigations of subsurface or latent physical conditions at the site or where work is to be performed.

The failure or omission of any bidder to receive or examine any Contract Documents, form, instrument, addendum, or other document or to visit the site and acquaint himself with conditions there existing shall in no way relieve any bidder from any obligation with respect to their bid or to the Contract. The submission of a bid shall be taken as incontrovertible evidence of compliance with this section.

9. Withdrawal of Bids

Any bidder may withdraw his bid either personally, by written request, or by telegraphic request confirmed in the manner specified above at any time prior to the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids. Any request to withdraw a bid shall be so worded so as not to reveal the amount of the original bid. Withdrawn bids may be resubmitted until the scheduled time for receipt of bids, so long as the resubmitted bids are in full conformance with the Contract Documents. After the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids, a bidder may not withdraw its bid until the expiration of sixty (60) calendar days, after which time a bid may be withdrawn only in writing and in advance of actual award of the

Contract.

Contractor, will be required to execute, and the form of the Performance Bond equal to 100% of the successful bid, and Payment Bond equal to 100% of the successful bid which the bidder will be required to furnish at the time of execution of the Contract, are included in the

Contract Documents and should be carefully examined by the bidder. The required number of executed copies of the Contract, the Performance Bond, and the

Payment Bond for Public Works is as specified in the

Special Conditions. The Performance and Payment

Bonds must be executed by an admitted Surety approved to conduct business in the State of California, pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 995.120.

Insurance of the State of California.

Contract Documents, or finds discrepancies in, or omissions from the drawings and specifications, that person may submit to both the Program Manager and the Architect a written request for an interpretation or correction thereof. The person submitting the request will be responsible for its prompt delivery. Any interpretation or correction of the Contract Documents will be made only by addendum duly issued. Any addenda or bulletins issued by the Program Manager and/or the Architect during the time of bidding or forming a part of the documents furnished to bidders for bid preparation, shall be covered in the bid and made part of the Contract Documents.

No person is authorized to make any oral interpretation of any provision in the Contract Documents to any bidder, and no bidder is authorized to rely on any such unauthorized oral interpretation.

12. 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 unless alternate bids are specifically called for. A person, firm, or corporation 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 or making a prime proposal.

13. Noncollusion Affidavit

Bidders on all public works contracts are required to submit an affidavit of Noncollusion with their bid. This form is included with the bid package and must be signed under the penalty of perjury and dated.

Code (Section 1720 et seq.); California Code of

Regulations, Title 8, Chapter 8, Subchapters 3 & 4

A copy of the per-diem rates of Prevailing Wages shall be posted at the site of the Project by the District. Rates are available at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/pwd/index.htm.

21. Debarment of Contractors and Subcontractors

In accordance with the provisions of the California

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 California 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, or may have been paid to a debarred subcontractor by a contract on the Project shall be returned to the District.

The successful bidder, as Contractor, shall be responsible for the payment of wages to workers of a debarred subcontractor who has been allowed to work on the

Project.

22. Contractor's License

To perform the work required for this Project, bidders must possess the appropriate Contractor's License for the portion of the work bid upon, and bidders must maintain the license throughout the duration of the Contract. If, at the time the bids are opened, bidder is not licensed to perform the Project in accordance with division 3, chapter 9 of the Business and Professions Code of the

State of California and the Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids, the bid will not be considered.

Provided, however, that in all contracts where federal funds are involved, no bid submitted shall be invalidated by the failure of the bidder to be licensed in accordance with the laws of California. The first payment for work or material under any contract shall not be made unless and until the Registrar of Contractors verifies to the

District that the records of the Contractor’s State License

Board indicate that the Contractor was properly licensed at the time the contract was awarded. Any bidder or contractor not so licensed shall be subject to all legal penalties imposed by law, including, but not limited to, any appropriate disciplinary action by the Contractor’s

State License Board. Failure of the bidder to obtain proper and adequate licensing for an award of a contract shall constitute a failure to execute the contract and shall result in the forfeiture of the security by the bidder.

23. Storm Water Permit for Construction Activity

It shall be the responsibility of the successful bidder to file a Notice of Intent and procure a State Water

Resources Control Board (State Water Board) National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Waste Discharge Requirements for Discharges of

Storm Water Runoff Associated with Construction

Activity (Permit). The successful bidder shall be solely responsible for preparing and implementing a Storm

Water Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) prior to initiating work. The successful bidder shall be responsible for procuring, implementing and complying with the provisions of the Permit and the SWPPP, including the standard provisions, monitoring and reporting requirements as required by Permit. It shall be the responsibility of all bidders to evaluate and include in the bid the cost of procuring the Permit and preparing the SWPPP as well as complying with the SWPPP and any necessary revisions to the SWPPP. The successful bidder shall also include in his bid the cost of monitoring as required by the Permit.

24. Bid Deposit Return

The District will return the security accompanying the bids of all unsuccessful bidders no later than sixty (60) calendar days after award of the Contract.

25. Insurance

Prior to commencement of the work the successful bidder shall purchase and maintain insurance as set forth in the General Conditions, in the amounts specified in the Special Conditions to these Contract Documents, and in a form acceptable to the District, from a company or companies lawfully authorized to do business in

California as admitted carriers having an “A” policy holders rating and a financial size rating of at least Class

VII in accordance with the most current Best’s Key

Rating Guide, Property-Casualty. Such insurance shall be adequate to protect themselves from claims under

Workers’ Compensation Acts, and from claims from damages for personal injury, including death, and damage to property, which may arise from operations under the Contract and from the ownership, maintenance or uses of motor vehicles, or claims involving blanket contractual liability applicable to the successful bidder’s obligations under the Contract

Documents, and completed operations, independent contractors, and Broad Form Property damage, without exclusion for collapse, explosion, demolition, underground coverage, and excavating. The successful bidder shall be required to file with the District certificates of such insurance, and shall name, by way of endorsement on any policy of insurance, the District, Program Manager and Architect as additional insureds.

Failure to furnish such evidence of insurance may be considered default by the successful bidder.

District reserves the right pursuant to Government Code

Section 4420.5 to use an owner controlled insurance program.

26. Request For Substitutions

a. For purposes of this provision the term

"substitution" shall mean the substitution of any material, process or article that is substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified in the specifications.

b. Whenever in specifications any material, process, or article is indicated or specified by grade, patent, or proprietary name or by name of manufacturer, such specifications shall be deemed to be used for the purpose of facilitating the description of the material, process or article desired and shall be deemed to be followed by words "or equal."

Bidders may, unless otherwise stated, offer for substitution any material, process or article which shall be substantially equal or better in every respect to that so indicated or specified. However, the

District has adopted certain uniform standards for certain materials, processes and articles. If any material, process or article offered for substitution by bidders is not, in the opinion of the Architect and the District, substantially equal or better in every respect to that specified, bidders shall furnish the material, process or article specified. The burden of proof as to the equality of any material, process or article shall rest with the bidders.

c. Bidders shall submit requests together with substantiating data for substitution of any "or equal" material, process or article no later than nine (9) business days prior to the bid opening. Provisions authorizing submission of "or equal" substitution justification data shall not in any way authorize an extension of time for performance of this Contract.

Furthermore, if a proposed "or equal" substitution request is rejected, a bidder shall be responsible for including the specified material, process or article in its bid. The District shall not be responsible for any costs of bidders associated with "or equal" substitution requests. The District has the complete and sole discretion to determine if a material, process or article is an "or equal" material, process or article that may be substituted.

d. For purposes of subdivision (c) above, data required to substantiate requests for substitutions of an "or equal" material, process or article data shall include a signed affidavit from the bidder stating that the substituted "or equal" material, process or article is equivalent to that specified in the specification in every way except as listed on the affidavit.

Substantiating data shall also include any and all illustrations, specifications, and other relevant data including catalogue information which describes the requested substituted "or equal" material, process or article and substantiates that it is an “or equal” to the material process or article specified.

In addition, the submittal documentation must also include a statement of the cost implications of the substitution being requested stating whether and why the substitution of the "or equal" material, process or article will reduce or increase the

Contract Price. The substantiating data must also include information regarding the durability and lifecycle cost of the requested substituted "or equal" material, process or article. Failure to submit all the needed substantiating data, including the signed affidavit, to the Program Manager in a timely fashion so that the substitution can be adequately reviewed may result in the rejection of the proposed substitution. The Program Manager and Architect are not obligated to review multiple substitution submittals for the same product or item due to the bidder’s failure to submit a complete package initially.

e. Time limitations in this Article must be complied with strictly and in no case will an extension of time for completion be granted because of bidder’s failure to request the substitution of an alternative item at the times and manner set forth herein in subdivision (c). Further, the bidder shall bear the costs of all engineering work associated with the review of submittals for substitution of equals.

f. In event Contractor furnishes material, process, or article more expensive than that specified, the difference in cost of such material, process, or article so furnished shall be borne by Contractor.

27. Anti-Discrimination

It is the policy of the District that in connection with all work performed under contracts, there be no discrimination against any prospective or active employees engaged in the work because of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religious creed, sex, age or marital status. The successful bidder agrees to comply with applicable Federal and California laws including, but not limited to, the California Fair Employment

Practice Act, beginning with Government Code 12900, and Labor Code 1735. In addition, the successful bidder agrees to require like compliance by any subcontractors employed on the work by him.

28. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises

In accordance with Education Code Section 71028, the

District has a participation goal for Disabled Veteran

Business Enterprises (“DVBE”) of at least three percent

(3%) of the total dollar amount of contracts awarded.

Although Bidders are not specifically required to meet the 3%, they are encouraged to attempt through “good faith effort”. Bidders are encouraged to seek and include

DVBE subcontractor and supplier participation in your bids. In addition, you are encouraged to note in the

Expanded List of Proposed Subcontractors those who qualify as DVBE’s. Prior to, and as a condition precedent for, final payment under this Contract, the successful bidder will be required to provide documentation to the District identifying the amounts paid to DVBE’s in conjunction with this Contract so that the District can assess its success at meeting its DVBE participation goal.

29. Pre-Bid Meeting & Job Walk

A Non-Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting and Job Walk has been scheduled for Monday, July 13, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. This Non-Mandatory Pre-Bid Meeting and Job-

Subcontractors or Suppliers should not request information for the bidder regarding any sub-bid in order to submit a lower proposal on that project (bid peddling). The District will consider any bidder found to be engaging in such practices to be a non-responsible bidder and may reject its bid on that ground.
