C-5(a) 00028 Designation of Subcontractors

DESIGNATION OF SUBCONTRACTORS

In compliance with the provisions of Sec. 4100-4111, inclusive, of the Public Contract Code of the State of California, and any amendments thereof, each bidder shall set forth below: (a) The name and the location of the place of business of each subcontractor who will perform work or labor or render service to the Contractor in or about the construction of the work or improvement in an amount in excess of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the Contractor's total bid; and (b) the portion of the work which will be done by each such subcontractor.

Each subcontractor shall possess, both at the time the bid is submitted and at all times when work is performed, a valid contractor's license for the appropriate classification necessary to perform the work for which that subcontractor is listed. Each subcontractor shall be registered with the Department of Industrial Relations at time of bid and during the performance of the Contract.

If the Contractor fails to specify a subcontractor for any portion of the work to be performed under the contract in excess of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the Contractor's total bid, he agrees that he is fully qualified to perform that work himself, and that he shall perform that work himself, and that he shall perform that portion himself.

The Contractor shall not, without the consent of the District, or unless, either: (a) Substitute any person as subcontractor in place of the subcontractor designated in the original bid; (b) Permit any such subcontract to be assigned or transferred or allow it to be performed by anyone other than the original subcontractor listed in the bid; or (c) Sublet or subcontract any portion of the work in excess of one-half of one percent (1/2 of 1%) of the Contractor's total bid as to which his original bid did not designate a subcontractor.

In the following instances, the District may consent to the substitution of another subcontractor:

(1) When the subcontractor listed in the bid after having a reasonable opportunity to do so fails or refuses to execute the written contract which is based upon the general terms, conditions, plans and specifications of the involved project or the terms of the subcontractor's written bid when it is presented to the subcontractor by the prime subcontractor;

(2) When the listed subcontractor becomes bankrupt or insolvent;

(3) When the listed subcontractor fails or refuses to perform his or her subcontract;

(4) When the listed subcontractor fails or refuses to meet the bond requirements of the prime Contractor to furnish a bond guaranteeing prompt and faithful performance of the subcontract and the payment of all claims for labor and materials furnished or used pursuant to Public Contract Code 4108;

(5) When the prime Contractor demonstrates to the District, as set forth in Public Contract Code 4107.5 that the name of the subcontractor was listed as the result of an inadvertent clerical error;

C-5(b) 00028 Designation of Subcontractors

As a condition to assert claim of clerical error, the Contractor must give written notice of the inadvertent clerical error to the District with copies to both the listed and intended subcontractor within two (2) working days of the time of the prime bid opening. The District shall consent to the substitution if the prime Contractor and both subcontractor listed in error and the intended subcontractor each submit an affidavit to the District within eight (8) working days of the time of the prime bid opening indicating that an inadvertent clerical error was made.

The District shall also consent to the substitution of the intended Contractor if affidavits are filed by both the prime Contractor and the intended Subcontractor within six (6) working days and the subcontractor claimed to be listed in error does not submit within six (6) working days a written objection to the claim to both the District and the Contractor.

However, if the listed subcontractor submits a written objection to the Contractor's claim of inadvertent clerical error within six (6) working days from the time of the prime bid opening, the District shall investigate the claims of the parties and shall hold a public hearing as described herein to determine the validity of those claims.

Any declarations submitted must be submitted under penalty of perjury by all three (3) parties and supported by testimony under oath and subject to cross-examination.

(6) When the listed Contractor is not licensed pursuant to the Contractor's license law;

(7) When the District determines that the work performed by the listed subcontractor is substantially unsatisfactory and not in substantial accordance with the plans and specifications, or that the subcontractor is substantially delaying or disrupting the progress of the work.

Prior to any substitution of a subcontractor, the District shall give notice in writing to the listed subcontractor of the request to substitute subcontractors and the reasons for the request. The notice shall be served by registered or certified mail to the last known address of the subcontractor.
