No bid will be accepted from a Contractor that has failed to comply with these requirements. If two or more business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to submit a fully completed questionnaire is 5:00 PM Tuesday, November 3 , 2026.
All qualifications submittals are required to be submitted electronically via Planet Bids. The electronic submittal system will close exactly at the date and time set forth in this request for qualifications.
Contractors are encouraged to submit prequalification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of information to be remedied or of their prequalification status in advance of the prequalification deadline for this Project. Contractor’s questionnaire and forms can be downloaded from the City’s PlanetBids portal: https://vendors.planetbids.com/portal/39493/portal-home
The City is seeking to prequalify trade contractors with experience in fountain equipment replacement, at a historic site, Greystone Mansion, 905 Loma Vista Drive. Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

RFQual #27-350-12 - GREYSTONE CYPRESS LANE FORECOURT FOUNTAIN RESTORATION PROJECT Page 3
The CITY reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the prequalification rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufficiently to disqualify them will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearing procedures described below for appealing a prequalification rating.
While it is the intent of the prequalification questionnaire and documents required therewith to assist the CITY in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the CITY in selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the fact of prequalification, nor any prequalification rating, will preclude the CITY from a post-bid consideration and determination of whether a bidder has the quality, fitness, capacity and experience to satisfactorily perform the proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustworthiness.
Any questions regarding the questionnaire and qualification package should be submitted via PlanetBids by 5:00PM, Friday, October 3, 2026. Questions sent via email or over the phone; with the exception of those related to accessing or using PlanetBids, will not be answered.
Contractors are responsible for submitting and having their documents accepted before the closing time set forth in the request for qualifications. NOTE: Pushing the submit button on the electronic submittal system may not be instantaneous; it may take time for the Contractor’s documents to upload and transmit before the documents are accepted. It is the Contractor’s sole responsibility to ensure their documents are uploaded, transmitted, and arrive in time electronically. The City of Beverly Hills will have no responsibility for documents that do not arrive in a timely manner, no matter what the reason.
The prequalification packages shall be labeled
“NOTICE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A QUALIFIED TRADE CONTRACTORS LIST FOR
GREYSTONE CYPRESS LANE FORECOURT FOUNTAIN RESTORATION PROJECT”
The prequalification packages submitted by Contractors are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided will be kept confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in an appeal hearing. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for prequalification status shall be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that purpose.
Each questionnaire must be signed under penalty of perjury in the manner designated at the end of the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor must immediately notify the CITY and provide updated accurate information in writing, under penalty of perjury.
The CITY reserves the right to waive minor irregularities and omissions in the information contained in the prequalification application submitted, and to make all final determinations. The CITY may also determine at any time that the prequalification process will be suspended for the Project and the Project will be bid without prequalification.
Contractors may submit all qualifications submittals electronically via Planet Bids. Contractors who submit a complete prequalification package will be notified of their qualification status no later than ten business days after submission of the information.
The CITY may refuse to grant prequalification where the requested information and materials are not provided by the due date indicated above. There is no appeal from a refusal for an incomplete or late application, but re-application for a later project is permitted. Neither the closing time for submitting
RFQual #27-350-12 - GREYSTONE CYPRESS LANE FORECOURT FOUNTAIN RESTORATION PROJECT Page 4 prequalification packages for this Project will be changed in order to accommodate supplementation of incomplete submissions, or late submissions, unless requested by the CITY in its sole discretion.
In addition to a contractor’s failure to be pre-qualified pursuant to the scoring system set forth in the prequalification package, a contractor may be found not prequalified for either omission of or falsification of, any requested information.
Where a timely and completed application results in a rating below that necessary to pre-qualify, an appeal can be made by the unsuccessful Contractor. An appeal is begun by the Contractor delivering notice to the CITY of its appeal of the decision with respect to its prequalification rating, no later than two business days following notification that it is not pre-qualified. The notice of appeal shall include an address where the Contractor wishes to receive notice of the appeal hearing. Without a timely appeal, the Contractor waives any and all rights to challenge the decision of the CITY, whether by administrative process, judicial process or any other legal process or proceeding.
If the Contractor gives the required notice of appeal, a hearing shall be conducted no earlier than five business days after the CITY’s receipt of the notice of appeal and not later than five business days prior to the date of the Notice Inviting Bids for this Project. Prior to the hearing, the Contractor shall, in writing, be advised of the basis for the City’s pre-qualification determination.
The hearing shall be conducted by a panel consisting of three members of the Public Works Department senior management staff (the “Appeals Panel”). The Appeals Panel shall consider any evidence presented by the Contractor, whether or not the evidence is presented in compliance with formal rules of evidence. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to present evidence, information and arguments as to why the Contractor believes it should be pre-qualified. Within one day after the conclusion of the hearing, the Appeals Panel will render a written determination as to whether the Contractor is pre-qualified. It is the intention of the CITY that the date for the submission and opening of bids will not be delayed or postponed to allow for completion of an appeal process.

A LIST OF THE SCORABLE QUESTIONS
AND THE SCORING INSTRUCTIONS
RFQual #27-350-12 - GREYSTONE CYPRESS LANE FORECOURT FOUNTAIN RESTORATION PROJECT Page 28
A LIST OF THE SCORABLE QUESTIONS AND THE SCORING INSTRUCTIONS
The scorable questions arise in three different areas:
(I) History of the business and organizational performance;
(II) Compliance with occupational safety and health laws, workers’ compensation and other labor legislation; and
(III) Completion of recent projects and quality of performance and capability questionnaire.
The interview questions (interviews by the public agency of project managers on projects completed recently by the contractor) are included in group III. In a pre-qualification procedure for a single project, this last category would also include a scoring of the number of recently completed projects that are similar to the project on which pre-qualification is at issue.
However, scoring linked to the similarity of past projects would probably not be possible or useful if the public agency as part of a procedure to pre-qualify contractors for an extended period.
Note: Not all questions in the questionnaire are scorable; some questions simply ask for information about the contractor firm’s structure, officers and history. This document includes only those questions that are “scorable.” The question numbers in this document are the numbers used in the questionnaire. Thus, the questions included here begin with question number 6, and there are a few breaks in the numerical sequence.
The Scores Needed for Prequalification
To prequalify, a contractor would be required to have a passing grade within each of the three large categories referred to above.
For Part I, “History of the business and organizational performance,” a passing score is 57 on this portion of the questionnaire (of a maximum score of 76 on this portion of the questionnaire).
For Part II, Compliance with occupational safety and health laws, workers’ compensation and other labor legislation a passing score is 38 on this portion of the questionnaire (of a maximum score of 53 points on this portion of the questionnaire).
For Part III, Completion of recent projects and quality of performance and capability questionnaire, will not be numerically scored as this is prequalification for multiple projects for an extended two year period.
