A Bidder shall be responsible for all Addenda regardless of whether Bidder received any such email, and a Bidder shall have no recourse due to not receiving such email.

REGISTRATION WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS

https://www.cityofartesia.us/bids.aspx

In accordance with Labor Code Sections 1725.5 and 1771.1, no contractor or subcontractor shall be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal, subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code, or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 [with limited exceptions for bid purposes only under Labor Code Section 1771.1(a)].

PREVAILING WAGES

In accordance with Labor Code Section 1770 et seq., the Project is a “public work.” The successful Bidder (“Contractor”) and any Subcontractors shall pay wages in accordance with the determination of the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations (“DIR”) regarding the prevailing rate of per diem wages. Copies of those rates are on file with the Director of Public Works, and are available to any interested party upon request. The Contractor shall post a copy of the DIR’s determination of the prevailing rate of per diem wages at each job site. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the DIR.

BONDS

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

FORM OF BIDS. Bids shall be made on the Bid forms found herein. Bidders shall include all forms and fill in all blank spaces, including inserting “N/A” (for not applicable) where necessary.

The Bid shall be enclosed in a sealed envelope bearing the Bidder’s name and the Project name and identification number as described in the Notice Inviting Bids.

DELIVERY OF BIDS. The Bid shall be delivered by the time and date, and to the place specified in the Notice Inviting Bids. No oral, faxed, emailed, or telephonic Bids or alternatives will be considered. The time of delivery shall be conclusively determined by the time-stamping clock located at the City Clerk’s office. Bidders are solely responsible for ensuring that their Bids are received in proper time, and Bidders assume all risks arising out of their chosen means of delivery.

Any Bid received after the Bid submission deadline shall be returned unopened. Bidders are invited to be present for Bid opening. Accepted Bids shall become the property of the City.

AMENDED BIDS. Unauthorized conditions, limitations or provisos attached to a Bid may cause the Bid to be deemed incomplete and non-responsive.

WITHDRAWAL OF BID. A Bid may be withdrawn without prejudice upon written request by the Bidder filed with the City Clerk before the Bid submission deadline. Bids must remain valid and shall not be subject to withdrawal for sixty (60) Days after the Bid opening date.

BIDDER’S SECURITY. Each Bid shall be accompanied by cash, a certified or cashier’s check payable to the City, or a satisfactory Bid Bond in favor of the City executed by the Bidder as principal and an admitted surety insurer as Surety, in an amount not less than ten percent (10%) of the amount set forth in the Bid. The cash, check or Bid Bond shall be given as a guarantee that, if selected, the Bidder will execute the Contract in conformity with the Contract Documents and will provide the evidence of insurance and furnish the specified Bonds, within fifteen (15) Days after the date of delivery of the Contract Documents to the Bidder. In case of the Bidder’s refusal or failure to do so, the City may award the Contract to the next lowest responsible bidder, and the cash, check, or Bond (as applicable) of the lowest Bidder shall be forfeited to the City to the extent permitted by law. No Bid Bond will be accepted unless it conforms substantially to the form provided in these Contract Documents.

QUANTITIES APPROXIMATE. Any quantities shown in the Bid form or elsewhere herein shall be considered as approximations listed to serve as a general indication of the amount of Work or materials to be performed or furnished, and as basis for the Bid comparison. The City does not guarantee that the actual amounts required will correspond with those shown. As deemed necessary or convenient, the City may increase or decrease the amount of any item or portion of Work or material to be performed or furnished or omit any such item or portion, in accordance with the Contract Documents.

ADDENDA. The City Engineer may, from time to time, issue Addenda to the Contract Documents. Bidders are responsible for ensuring that they have received any and all Addenda.

Each Bidder is responsible for verifying that it has received all Addenda issued, if any. Bidders must acknowledge receipt of all Addenda, if any, in their Bids. Failure to acknowledge receipt of all Addenda may cause a Bid to be deemed incomplete and non-responsive.

DISCREPANCIES IN BIDS. Each Bidder shall set forth as to each item of Work, in clearly legible words and figures, a unit or line item Bid amount for the item in the respective spaces provided for this purpose.

In case of discrepancy between the unit price and the extended amount set forth for the item, the unit price shall prevail. However, if the amount set forth as a unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or if the unit price is the same amount as the entry in the “extended amount” column, then the amount set forth in the “extended amount” column for the item shall prevail in accordance with the following:

(1) As to lump sum items, the amount set forth in the “extended amount” column shall be the unit price.

(2) As to unit price items, the amount set forth in the “extended amount” column shall be divided by the estimated quantity for the item set forth in the Bid documents, and the price thus obtained shall be the unit price.

In case of discrepancy between words and figures, the words shall prevail.

COMPETENCY OF BIDDERS. In evaluating Bidder responsibility, consideration will be given not only to the financial standing, but also to the general competency of the Bidder for the performance of the Project. Each Bidder shall set forth in the designated area of the Bid form a statement of its experience. No Contract will be executed with a Bidder that is not licensed and registered with the DIR in accordance with State law, and with any applicable specific licensing requirements specified in these Contract Documents. These licensing and registration requirements for Contractors shall also apply to all Subcontractors.

BIDDER’S EXAMINATION OF SITE AND CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. Each Bidder must carefully examine the Project site and the entirety of the Contract Documents. Upon submission of a Bid, it will be conclusively presumed that the Bidder has thoroughly investigated the Work and is satisfied as to the conditions to be encountered and the character, quality, and quantities of Work to be performed and materials to be furnished. Upon Bid submission, it also shall be conclusively presumed that the Bidder is familiar with and agrees to the requirements of the Contract Documents, including all Addenda. No information derived from an inspection of records or investigation will in any way relieve the Contractor from its obligations under the Contract Documents nor entitle the Contractor to any additional compensation. The Contractor shall not make any claim against the City based upon ignorance or misunderstanding of any condition of the Project site or of the requirements set forth in the Contract Documents. No claim for additional compensation will be allowed which is based on a lack of knowledge of the above items. Bidders assume all risks in connection with performance of the Work in accordance with the Contract Documents, regardless of actual conditions encountered, and waive and release the City with respect to any and all claims and liabilities in connection therewith, to the extent permitted by law.

DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS. No Person shall be allowed to make, file or be interested in more than one Bid for the Project, unless alternate Bids are specifically called for. A Person that has submitted a sub-bid 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 from making a prime Bid. If there is a reason to believe that collusion exists among the Bidders, all affected Bids will be rejected.

RETURN OF BID SECURITY. The Contractor’s Bid security shall be held until the Contract is executed. Bid security shall be returned to the unsuccessful Bidders within a reasonable time, which in any case shall not exceed sixty (60) Days after the Contractor has signed the Contract.

AWARD OF CONTRACT. The City reserves the right to reject any or all Bids or any parts thereof or to waive any irregularities or informalities in any Bid or in the bidding. The Contract award, if made, will be to the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder and is anticipated to occur within sixty

(60) Days after the Bid opening. The Contract award may be made after that period if the Contractor has not given the City written notice of the withdrawal of its Bid.

LISTING SUBCONTRACTORS. Each Bidder shall submit a list of the proposed Subcontractors on the Project, as required by the Subletting and Subcontracting Fair Practices Act (Cal. Pub.

Contract Code, § 4100 et seq.). Contractor shall self-perform not less than fifty percent (50%) of the Work, as determined by the percentage of Work to be performed by listed Subcontractors.

EXECUTION OF CONTRACT. The Contractor shall execute the Contract in the form included in these Contract Documents within fifteen (15) Days from the date of delivery of the Contract Documents to the Bidder. Additionally, the Contractor shall also secure all insurance and Bonds as herein specified, and provide copies to the City, within fifteen (15) Days from the date of delivery of the Contract Documents to the Bidder. Failure or refusal to execute the Contract or to conform to any of the stipulated requirements shall be just cause for the annulment of the award and forfeiture of the Bidder’s security. In such event, the City may declare the Bidder’s security forfeited to the extent permitted by law, and the City may award the Contract to the next lowest responsive responsible Bidder or may reject all Bids.

SIGNATURES. The Bidder shall execute all documents requiring signatures and shall cause to be notarized all documents that indicate such a requirement. The Bidder shall provide evidence satisfactory to the City, such as an authenticated resolution of its board of directors or a power of attorney, indicating the capacity of the person(s) signing the Bid to bind the Bidder to the Bid and any Contract arising therefrom. Alternatively, Bids submitted by corporations must be executed as specified in Corporations Code Section 313, and Bids submitted by partnerships must be executed by all partners comprising the partnership.

INSURANCE AND BONDS. The Contractor shall not begin Work until it has given the City evidence of all required insurance coverage (including all additional insured endorsements), a Bond guaranteeing the Contractor’s faithful performance of the Contract, and a Bond securing the payment of claims for labor and materials.

TELEPHONES. Bidders are hereby notified that the City will not provide telephones for their use at the time of Bid submission.

INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS. Any Bidder that is in doubt as to the intended meaning of any part of the Contract Documents, or that finds discrepancies in or omissions from the Contract Documents, may submit to the City Clerk a written request for an interpretation or correction not later than ten (10) Days before the Bid submission deadline.

Requests for clarification received after this date will be disregarded. Please indicate the Project and identification number in the request for clarification. Telephonic requests will not be taken.

Any interpretation or correction of the Contract Documents will be made only by a written Addendum. No oral interpretation of any provision in the Contract Documents shall be binding.

TAXES. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided herein, all sales and/or use taxes assessed by federal, State or local authorities on materials used or furnished by the Contractor in performing the Work shall be paid by the Contractor. The Bidder shall calculate payment for all sales, unemployment, pension and other taxes imposed by federal, state and local law and shall include these payments in computing the Bid.
