A deadline of 24 hours after bid opening is established by which a bidder must submit corrected California Contractor’s license number information to the City. A bidder’s failure to submit corrected California Contractor’s license numbers will cause the bid to be non-responsive.

If the Bidder 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 of the Bidder’s total bid, the Bidder agrees to perform that portion itself. The successful bidder shall not, without the consent of City either:

This bond shall be made payable to the City of Hanford to guarantee the payment of all labor, materials, rentals, etc. This bond shall have specific provisions to assure payment of all unemployment contributions which become due and payable.

12. EXISTING FACILITIES

The Contractor's attention is directed to the fact that the existing airport facilities must be kept in operation with an absolute minimum of interference, except as specified in the Special Conditions section of these specifications, in order that no delays or hazards affect the using of this airport facility.

The Contractor shall be required to plan and coordinate his work with the Resident Project Representative (RPR) in such a manner as to ensure safety and a minimum of hindrance to the public using the facilities. All construction and access to the construction must be confined to the limits designated by the RPR.

Portions of the tie down apron, fuel island and Taxiway A at the airport will be closed intermittently during construction of the project but the runway, remaining taxiways, and hangars shall be kept open for aircraft operations.

13. SUBLETTING OF CONTRACT

The Contractor shall not sublet, sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of the contract or contracts or any portion thereof, or of his right, title, or interest therein, without written consent of the Owner. In case such consent is given, the Contractor will be permitted to sublet a portion thereof, but shall perform with his own organization not less than 30 percent of the total contract cost, except that any items designated by the Contractor and approved by the Owner as "specialty items" may be performed by subcontract and the cost of any such specialty items so performed by subcontract may be deducted from the total cost before computing the amount of work to be performed by the Contractor with his own organization. No subcontracts or transfer of contract shall release the Contractor of his liability under contracts and bonds.

14. CALIFORNIA AIR RESOURCES BOARD (“CARB”) REGULATIONS

The City is a Public Works Awarding Body, as defined under Title 13 California Code of Regulations section 2449(c)(46). Accordingly, Bidders must submit, with their Bids, valid

Instructions to Bidders Division I - Page B-5

Certificates of Reported Compliance (“CRC”) for the Bidder’s fleet and for the fleet(s) of its listed subcontractors (including any applicable leased equipment or vehicles). Bidder must additionally complete and submit the Fleet Compliance Certification, included in the Bid Documents. Failure to provide a CRC for the Bidder, and for all listed subcontractors, or failure to complete the Fleet Compliance Certification, may render the Bid non-responsive.

15. BID EVALUATION

Bids will be evaluated for price, conformance to the Plans, Specifications, Bid Documents, experience, and other factors as appropriate.

The bid price for each item on the Bid Schedule shall include all costs associated with completing the work included in the item and only those costs. Profit and overhead shall be factored into each item.

In case of conflict in the proposal between unit price bid and the extended total, the unit price bid shall govern. In case of conflict between words and numerals, the words, unless obviously incorrect, shall govern.

16. BASIS OF AWARD

The contract, if awarded, will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who is in compliance with these instructions and the Advertised Notice to Bidders, provided the bids are reasonable and it is to the interest of the Owner to accept them. The competency and the responsibility of bidders and of their proposed subcontractors will be considered in making the award of the bid.

The Owner reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive irregularities not affecting substantial rights.

The basis of the award is subject to all conditions as contained in the General Contract Provisions, Section 30, Award and Execution of Contract, of these specifications. It is understood and agreed that all equipment and material items shall be in stockpile under immediate control of the Contractor prior to the time they will be needed to complete the work at the Airport.

17. UNBALANCED PRICING

An offer with unbalanced pricing is not acceptable. Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and could result in payment of unreasonably high prices or payment for incomplete work, or for work not done. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total overall price, the price of one or more Contract line items is significantly over or understated, as determined by the Engineer in the application of customary construction industry standard techniques for cost and price analysis.

All offers with separately priced line items or sub-line items will be analyzed to determine if the prices are unbalanced. Bidders shall provide a schedule of values for all lump sum items upon request. If an offer is deemed to be unbalanced, the CITY will:

Instructions to Bidders Division I - Page B-6

A. Consider the risks to the CITY associated with the unbalanced pricing in determining the competitive range and in making the award decision; and

B. Consider whether award of the Contract will result in paying unreasonably high prices for Contract performance and whether the award fails to represent the lowest ultimate cost to the CITY.

An offer may be rejected if the CITY deems that the lack of balances poses an unacceptable risk to the CITY. The CITY reserves the right to delete all or part of an item that is deemed to be unbalanced and award the Contract; and to require that item of work to be done by force account or negotiated price.

18. WORKER'S COMPENSATION INSURANCE

The Contractor shall provide worker's compensation insurance, as required under the laws of the State of California, protecting the employees on the work, and shall pay all premiums due thereunder.

19. PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE

For insurance requirements see “Insurance Requirements” included in Item 70-21 of Division II, Part A, General Contract Provisions, of these specifications.

20. TIME OF COMPLETION

Delays caused by adverse weather conditions or conditions for which the Owner is clearly responsible will be added to the contract time.

The contractor shall complete all work to the satisfaction of the Kings County Environmental Health Department prior to December 31, 2025. If the contractor refuses or fails to complete this work prior to December 31, 2025, there shall be deducted from monies due the Contractor, not as a penalty, Instructions to Bidders Division I - Page B-7 but as liquidated damages, the sum of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) for each calendar day after December 31, 2025, the contractor has not completed the work.

22. CERTIFIED PAYROLL
