INFORMATION FOR BIDDERS

1. Preparation of Bid Form.

The District invites bids on the attached form to be submitted at such time and place as is stated in the Notice to Contractors Calling for Bids. All blanks in the bid form must be appropriately filled in. All bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes bearing on the outside the name of the bidder, his address, and the name of the Project for which the bid is submitted. All prices must be stated in both words and figures where so indicated, and where there is a conflict in the words and figures, the words shall govern. Prices, wording and notations must be in ink or typewritten. Erasures or other changes shall be noted over by signature of the bidder. It is the sole responsibility of the bidder to see that his bid is received in proper time. All bids received after the scheduled closing time for receipt of bids will be returned to the bidder unopened.

2. Unit Prices.

If the unit prices and the extended amount expressed by a Bidder for any item are not in agreement, the unit price alone will be considered as representing the Bidder’s intention.

If the amount set forth as a unit price is ambiguous, unintelligible or uncertain for any cause, or is omitted, or in the case of unit basis items, is the same amount as the entry in the “Total” column, then the amount set forth in the “Total” column for the item shall prevail in accordance with the following:

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

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

3. Bid Security.

Each bid shall be accompanied by: (a) cash; (b) a certified check made payable to the District; (c) a cashier’s check made payable to the District; or (d) a satisfactory 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. 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 Notice of Intent to Award Contract to the bidder

In the event the bidder to whom the Notice of Intent to Award 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, 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 or US Mail/FedEx or Overnight Service Carrier Bids.

Normally, all bids must be under sealed cover. However in this case, the District will not accept any bids or bid modifications submitted by facsimile or US mail/FedEx or any overnight carrier service 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 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 that 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 modification may be considered only if the postmark evidences that a confirmation, 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 be responsible for scheduling their site visit with the District Representative at a time convenient to the District Representative. Bidders shall thoroughly examine and be familiar with the drawings and specifications.

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 or by confirmed written request 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 ten (10) calendar days, after which time a bid may be withdrawn only in writing and in advance of actual award of the Contract.

District 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 District. In this regard, the District may conduct such investigations as the District 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 in accordance with the Contract Documents to the District’s satisfaction within the prescribed time; the District reserves the right to reject the bid of any bidder who does not pass any such evaluation to the satisfaction of the District.

17. Listing Subcontractors.

The form of such certificate, Contractors Certificate Regarding Workers Compensation, is included as part of the Contract Documents.

19. Substitution of Security.

The Contract Documents call for monthly progress payments based upon the percentage of the work completed. The District will retain five percent (5%) of each progress payment as security for completion of the work. At the request and expense of the successful bidder, the District will substitute securities for the amount so retained in accordance with Public Contract Code Section 22300 and the Contract Documents.

20. Prevailing Wages.

This is a public works project, and the bidder to which the District awards a contract for the Project, and each of that bidder’s subcontractors of any tier, shall be required to pay not less than the general prevailing rates of per-diem wages in the locality in which the work is to be performed for each craft or type of worker needed to execute the contract (“Prevailing Wages”). A copy of the per-diem rates of Prevailing Wages shall be posted at the site of the Project. Rates are available at http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/pwd/index.htm.

21. Labor Compliance.

Except as provided in Labor Code section 1771.1(a), no Contractor or Subcontractor may be listed on a bid proposal for a public works project submitted or perform work on a public works contract awarded unless registered with the Department of Industrial Relations pursuant to California Labor Code section 1725.5. This Project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations.

Contractor and any Subcontractors engaging in work on the Project are required to review and comply with the provisions of the California Labor Code sections 1720 et seq., and http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/pwd/index.htm the regulations of the Department of Industrial Relations implementing those provisions.

These statutory and regulatory provisions contain specific requirements concerning, for example, the determination and payment of prevailing wages, retention, inspection and auditing of payroll records, use of apprentices, payment of overtime compensation, and various penalties or fines which may be imposed for violations of the requirements of the chapter.

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 may result in the forfeiture of the security by the bidder.

23. Storm Water Permit for Construction Activity.

a. 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) Water Quality Order No. 99-08-DWQ, National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General Permit for Storm Water Discharges Associated with Construction Activity (Permit) for all projects that involve construction on or disturbance of one acre or more of land.

b. 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, and monitoring and reporting requirements as required by the Permit.

The Permit requires the SWPPP to be a “living document” that changes as necessary to meet the conditions and requirements of the job site as it progresses through different phases of construction and is subject to different weather conditions.

c. 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 or her bid the cost of monitoring as required by the Permit.

d. Bidder shall also comply with the lawful requirements of any applicable municipality, the District, drainage district, and other local agencies regarding discharges of storm water to separate storm drain system(s) or other water courses under their jurisdiction, including applicable requirements in municipal storm water management programs. This requirement applies to all projects, including those projects that impact less than one acre or disturb less than one acre.

e. Storm, surface, nuisance or other waters may be encountered at various times during the course of construction. By submitting its bid, Bidder hereby acknowledges that it has investigated the risk arising from such waters, has prepared its bid accordingly, and assumes any and all liabilities arising there from.

f. Failure to comply with the Permit or any applicable municipal permit is a violation of law and may be subject to penalties, fines, or additional regulatory requirements.

In addition to the other indemnities included herein, Bidder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless District, its officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all fines, penalties, claims or other regulatory requirements imposed as a result of noncompliance with the Permit or the applicable municipal permit, unless such noncompliance is the result of District’s sole established negligence, willful misconduct or active negligence.

g. District may seek damages from Bidder for project delays in accordance with the contract documents caused by Bidder’s failure to comply with the Permit or applicable municipal 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 as additional insured. Failure to furnish such evidence of insurance may be considered default by the successful bidder.

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 ten (10) calendar 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 substitution "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 District Representative in a timely fashion so that the substitution can be adequately reviewed may result in the rejection of the proposed substitution. The District Representative 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 and Housing 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.

28. Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises.

Compliance with Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contracting goals is required for this project. In accordance with Education Code Section 17076.11 the District has a DVBE participation goal of 3% per year of the overall dollar amount of state funds allocated to the District pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, and expended each year by the District. The District is seeking DVBE participation in this project.

Bidders must indicate on the bid form whether they are a certified DVBE and provide a copy of the DVBE Certification Letter. Prior to, and as a condition precedent for final payment under the Contract, the successful bidder may be required to provide the District with written documentation identifying the amount paid to certified DVBE subcontractors and suppliers in performance of the Contract and provide a copy of the DVBE Certification Letter for each DVBE. This documentation will be used by the District to evaluate its success in meeting its DVBE participation goal.

29. Pre-Bid Meeting.

There will be a mandatory pre-bid job walk at 9:00 A.M. on the 26th of May, 2026 at Lemon Crest Elementary School, 12463 Lemon Crest Dr., Lakeside, CA 92040.

Bids will not be accepted from any bidder who does not attend the mandatory pre-bid job walk. Only bidders that attend the pre- bid meeting will receive any addendums that are issued.

30. No Telephone Availability.

Bidders are advised that on bid date telephones WILL NOT be available at the District Administrative Offices for use by bidders or their representatives.

31. Fingerprinting Requirements.

By law it is the District’s responsibility to determine whether a contractor must provide fingerprint certification. Pursuant to Education Code Section 45125.2, the District considers the totality of the circumstances in order to determine if fingerprinting of employees of a contractor working on a school site is required. Factors to be considered include the length of time the contractor’s employees are on school grounds, whether students are in proximity with the location where the contractor’s employees are working, and whether the contractor’s employees are working alone or with others.

A determination regarding whether fingerprint certification is required is contained in the Special Conditions. This form is included with the bid package and must be signed under penalty of perjury and dated.

32. Ethics in Bidding.

The District expects the bidders to maintain high ethical standards in engaging in the competitive bidding process. The bid amount of one bidder should not be divulged to another before the award of the subcontract or order, nor should it be used by bidders to secure a lower proposal from another bidder on that project (bid shopping). 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 may consider any bidder found to be engaging in such practices to be a non-responsive or non- responsible bidder and may reject its bid on that ground.

33. Contract Procedures.

The Contract Documents contemplate the following procedures upon receipt of bid and the District obtaining an appropriation from the State Allocation Board (SAB) (when required):

a. The District will give the successful bidder a Notice of Intent to Award Contract. The

District will be bound to enter into the Contract if the SAB apportions funds for the Project, provided that the Project is not placed on the SAB "unfunded list," and the successful bidder does all acts described in subparagraph b below.

b. Following the giving of the Notice of Intent to Award of Contract, the successful bidder shall post the Performance and Payment Bonds, provide certificates of insurance, and other certificates, and return executed copies of bonds and Contracts.

34. Filing of Bid Protests.

Bidders may file a “protest” of a Bid with Kristine Rosado at krosado@lsusd.net. In order for a Bidder’s protest to be considered valid, the protest must:

a. Be filed in writing within three (3) calendar days after the bid opening;

b. Clearly identify the specific irregularity or accusation;

c. Clearly identify the specific District staff determination or recommendation being protested;

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 Controller, or other designated District staff member, shall review the basis of the protest and all relevant information. The District will provide a written decision to the protestor, which decision shall be final.

35. Prequalification

Bidders and subcontractors are required to be prequalified for projects in excess of one million dollars ($1,000,000) in estimated value using any funds received or reimbursed pursuant to the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 or any state school bond.

For qualifying projects, subcontractors in the trades of mechanical, electrical and plumbing are required to be prequalified. Prequalification status is valid for one (1) calendar year.
